Some time, in a place that was and is the abbey, that is in this world and in Dream

She is coming.

I can feel her, that nasty bitch, like a tooth ache or a splinter. She nearly killed me, and I still suffer for it. Partly it was my own fault, for not remembering that silly service gods like her love to throw themselves on their own swords to look ( Read more... )

Thursday, July 8th [Day 403]
Early morning
Carnivale lot

Rain. It rained. Yesterday. Good. My bucket should be full of water.

Can't seem to get the energy to trek to the showers today. The little leak in my roof drips into that bucket. I can use that, try to wash up some. Should be clean enough.

Can't remember the last time I was this sick. Skipped out ( Read more... )

Saturday, July 4th [Day 399]
Just after midnight or so
The Carnivale trailer lot

Gasping, grasping, sheets twisted 'round my legs. Restless since that day, since the spinning, since that dance. Fire behind his eyes, lion in his smile, the brush of his lips on my fingers- and he was so-

I pulled away after Arik complimented me. I thanked him for the ( Read more... )

{Early Evening- Tuesday, 29th June ~ Day 394}
{Crossroads DanceHall}

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world turning inside out, yeah
And floating around in ecstasy, so
Don't stop me now
Don't stop me
'Cuz I'm having a good time, having a good time

It is finally time to open the doors ( Read more... )

Morning of 21st June

It's still raining, though not as heavily as earlier, but I couldn't wait any longer to come out here and see what has happened. I was wakened in the early hours of Sunday by a strange feeling of pressure and brilliant light, but my cell was completely dark. I walked through the abbey, and all was still and shadowed. Anyone else ( Read more... )

7th June, early afternoonWoke up in the caravan feelin' a bit chilly this mornin', an' when I opened the door there was snow everywhere. Faith swore fer about five minutes over that, but once we'd got over the shock a bit we was right excited. Only problem was that we ain't got a lot of warm clothes fer us as we are now, but I reckoned we could ( Read more... )

Tuesday, May 18 [Day 352]
About noon
Along the river by the bridge

For too long I've been... directionless. No, that's not the right word. Letting Fate take the reins, I've had direction, but... but I've not really chosen, just followed the pull, never knowing why. Just going, knowing I'll eventually learn, eventually be needed. Part of me knows, just ( Read more... )

 [Tuesday, April 6th(Day 310)]
[Tavern of Hell]
[Early morning]

I might have been the only person in the whole of the Carnivale that still needed sleep after last week. My body was worn, exhausted; He kept me awake, afraid he would, I dunno, lose me. So when I- he finally let me sleep, I slept hard. And I dreamt; no vast landscapes, no strange quests ( Read more... )

Wednesday, March 31st [Day 304]
The Carnivale lot
Early morning

She sleeps, deep and still, and our eyes open. I have done this before, selfishly, I remember, but this is not then. Long ago. She sleeps too much and I cannot hear her thought much, not sharp as usual but only seeping, slipping.

So I open our eyes. It is early, breaking dawn light ( Read more... )
