First post in a looooong time...
It has been a long time since last I posted. This pesky thing called work and sleep has been taking up a lot of my time. Writing, as much as I may love it, has had to wait. It does not help that I am a XXty-something for whom typing(oops, keyboarding) is not second nature. So writing is usually done long hand and then transcribed to the journal later(muuuuch later). Even the writing that I do get down is done in 2 to 3 sentence bursts on a note pad pulled from a back pocket while running from one end of the plant to the other.
Promise to self: sit yer #$$ down and write more often.
Hopefully the holidays will provide ample opportunity to get caught up.
Here is a first installment. For the CoXer's in the group, you may recognize the affliction known as Altitis. Here is a quicky backgrounder on one of my many alts from one of the other(not Triumph) servers.
As always, looking for feedback on the effectiveness of the storytelling:
Little Laurie Copeckne started off just like any other little girl from a fairly well off family. She was always dressed in the finest clothes that a proper young lady could want. She could have any of the toys that she could want and had most of them. Her favorites were always Winnie the Pooh and his friends, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit, Tigger, and Eeyore.
Like any other spoiled child she could throw temper tantrums with the best. One day she really let one rip. Daddy got really mad and had the maid take all of her toys away. Laurie did not care very much until Lucia got to Pooh and the others. She begged and begged, but Lucia took them away anyway.
Laurie was angry and refused to eat dinner. She was sent to bed hungry and with no toys to play with. She cried with anger and frustration until she fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, she woke up to the sounds of movement in her room. She got out of bed, clicked on the light, and lookie, lookie there was her friend Kanga shambling around in her room. Kanga was soon joined by Roo and Rabbit. They all started having such fun.
Lucia heard Laurie from the hallway, knocked on the door and asked, "Little Miss, who are you talking to?"
Knowing that Daddy would get angry if he knew, she replied, "No one..."
"Well... Your Papa says it is time for you to sleep. Go lie down now, Mija."
Pouting, Laurie lay down in bed. Pulling the covers up over her, she looked at Kanga, Roo, and Rabbit and told them, "I wish Daddy would just go away and let us play."
As she closed her eyes, she could hear her friends shuffle through the bedroom door.
Eyes closed, she heard Lucia's surprised gasp, then a choking gurgle.
As sleep overcame her, she could hear Mommy's and Daddy's screams.
BTW: There are no featured characters or backgrounds (Though depending on response, she may become one)
Word count is in the low to mid hundreds, and
Warnings:None really (Though I am hoping to cause some slight measure of discomfort)
