LJ Idol Season 9, Week 12: Barrel of Monkeys

Jun 13, 2014 15:24

The girl picks up the barrel, her squat, short fingers seeming almost unable to wrap around the plastic. Slowly, she turns it over, watching the monkeys scatter all over the table, her brows knitted together in concentration.

Thank you. :) This piece seemed to call for it -- though when I wrote the part about me and Joe, it wanted to slip into third. Hah.

*hugs back* Thanks. <3

You is smart, you is kind, you is important. You're also loved and strong. I love you dearly. <3

Ha! I thought you were against writing the topic into the entry??? I loved the immediacy of this. Painful and yet thoughtful at the same time. Nice job.

I often am, but I could not let go of the images I was getting for the actual game and how they could go along with certain events that have happened to me in the past year. =p Sometimes I am capable of doing a literal take! Sometimes!

Thank you. :)
