I held the monkey's paw today; And put my wishes into play

Saturday, September 12th
Day 104
DuskStaring down at the burning remains of what was once a human girl, my brows knit and I sigh in disappointment as I watch her skinless body whither then turn to ash. She seemed so promising too. Young, naïve, and some might have even said smart. However, not smart enough to ask for the correct thing for her third ( Read more... )

Saturday nights are boring. Daddy had to go to work early and he asked Miss Nolan next door to watch me and he told me to be veryvery careful if I went outside.

And I am being careful! I'm only staying in the yard! Miss Silverleaves wanted to go out really really a lot.

Some of the leaves are starting to turn colors and I pick up the yellow ones to put them in their own pile. What if the yellow leaves were magic? They turn things into gold! And you have to keep them away from the evil king because then he would turn everything into gold! So Miss Silverleaves has to go on a quest to find the magic tower that's safe enough to put the gold leaves in so that the evil king can't get at them so we ride off across the yard...

“Hi,” I say cheerfully. “My name is Lily, what’s yours?”

Oh! It's a grownup. Where's Miss Nolan? Close enough that I could yell if I need to...

"Hi.Um. Are you looking for my daddy?"

The little one stops her play, looking up at me first with surprise, then it changes to an almost distrustful look. Smart little girl to be wry of strangers. She's still much too young for my presence to have any affect on her. Yet another reason I don't like the little brats, far too much work for so little. "Hi.Um. Are you looking for my daddy?"

Smiling, I shake my head, "I was walking back to the carnival and heard you playing, and I don't know many people in town yet so I thought I would change that and say hi."

Oh but she is a pretty little thing too. And she has just enough human blood for it to work. Sitting cross legged on the grass I nod at her toy, "What's her name?" I ask with a friendly smile and tilt of my head.

"I was walking back to the carnival and heard you playing, and I don't know many people in town yet so I thought I would change that and say hi."

"Oh! Do you live at the Carnival? Do you know Zann?" If she's a friend of Zann's then maybe she's okay but I still don't know her and even though she's pretty and acts nice Daddy keeps saying I shouldn't talk to strangers so much!

"What's her name?"

Lily's sitting down like she wants to spend a long time here. And she sounds like she's really interested in Miss Silverleaves! Maybe she's just lonely and wants to play. So I sit down too, on one of the tree roots, and hold the doll up so she can see. "That's Miss Silverleaves."

"Oh! Do you live at the Carnival? Do you know Zann?" she asks, little face lighting up like a little sun. I thought perhaps mentioning the carnival would raise her interest but it hadn't occurred to me that she would actually know anyone from it, Ooh how perfect.

Giggling, I nod my head, "Yes and yes! She's really nice, I like her a lot and the carnival too. Its soo much fun, have you been?" She probably has, the carnival is usually overrun with throngs of the dirty screaming little things.

The little girl sits down relaxing a little when I ask about her toy, holding it up and telling me its name. Miss Silverleaves. "Very nice to meet you, Miss Silverleaves," I say with a bow of my head. Then I lean forward and whisper confidingly, "I have a big lion I call Arik," I giggle, "He's one of my favorites. Is she one of yours?" I ask, leaning back on my hands ( ... )
