Sin Blue Excerpt -- Part Two

[talithakalago]

 
About half a dozen of my hair ties have migrated from the sink top in my bathroom, through my lounge, down the corridor past three other rooms and out into the kitchen where they are now lying in the bottom of the dogs’ water dish.

What possesses a six month old kitten to carry hair ties down a corridor, one by one, and place them in a large bowl

My cat does that too. Only my hair bands end up in the toilet. she likes to watch them sink. silly kitten.

[talithakalago]

The toilet doors stay closed in our house. Otherwise the same cat steals the rolls of toilet paper and runs away with them.

[crazymule]

My kitten used to use that trick too, and pulling tissues out of the boxes. Thank god she grew out of that. It was a messy stage.

[talithakalago]

We have three. One never did any of that stuff, though she did used to attack the horse's legs. He was very patient about it.

One loved water at that stage and we were forever pulling her out of toilets, horse troughs and dog water bowls. We just used to let her come in the shower with us because... well... what are ya gonna do?

Now we have the six month old boy who is all about stealing things and hiding them. He has a huge seven foot long tunnel system we got in a free give-away from Iams. Usually he hides things in there. But the other day... the water bowl. :P

Hee - a nice, unexpected twist for the reader...I suspect poisoning!

[talithakalago]

I suspect the writer just likes crushing every iota of warmth, love and hope in her characters lives....

[writerwench]

It's very powerfully written.
An interesting twist on the 'poison-touch' idea - wasn't there an X-Men character with that ability?

Makes me want to know what will happen next!

[talithakalago]

Horrible things, knowing me...

I've been playing with it in my spare time and I really do love this story to bits. But it's not really all doom and gloom.

[crazymule]

I only just now read the story, having been just quickly glancing at LJ before. I feel bad for Jinn, it can't be fun to hurt everything that you touch. I would go crazy. I'm waiting expectantly for more story updates, so get on that, would you?

[talithakalago]

Grin. Sure thing.

He needs a full body suit, like Rogue from the x-men. :P

What possesses a six month old puppy to go around the house, stealing all the left shoes, and ditching them in the corridors? I used to wonder.

Now my dog just steals all the clothes pegs we drop and stashes them under the barbecue.

[talithakalago]

Thankfully our dogs don't steal anything. We do have giant (sparrow sized) moths around here though. And at night she runs around all the windows eating them. :P

There are so many facets in this section--so many ways you can look at it. It is very well written. I fond it interesting that none of the other brothers went after Brother Dafa or were looking for him later. That seemed very odd to me. Additionally, the last line leaves so many openings.

Once again, I love this!

eli.

[talithakalago]

This actually had to be cut down and is not the true ending of the chapter. Its actually another 1000 words long.

The reason none of the other brother's found him was because they couldn't leave until the meal was over either. Jinn ran straight out and, well, he's the only one in the abbey who runs anywhere. :P
