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... )

Day 100, Tuesday September 8th, lunchtimeI look out of the window and smile at how bright the sunshine is. What a beautiful day! I am so glad the school has a nice day for this event. I go back to the oven and take out the raisin bread I have made, giving it time to cool. I am so pleased Amanda volunteered to work today. I would not have asked ( Read more... )

Tuesday, September 1, early afternoon
The Park (in a place that is hopefully not too zombiefied?)

I went with Daddy three times and Kitty twice and I gotta go by myself. Gotta gotta gotta. Can't be scared of the park.

And I'm not really by myself 'cause I've got Snuffles and Mr. Tibbs with me for company and they're both in my bag with all my ( Read more... )

Home
Afternoon of Day 67

I miss my building and my home and my family and my Fiona and Maryk, though he'll be back later. I give Lena an absent smile and nod when she brings me tea out on the porch. This house--this home is lovely, truly, but it still doesn't feel much like mine. The dreams continue, when I allow myself sleep. I do not know ( Read more... )

[The now-smoking chunk of the park, Thursday, noon, July 30th (day 50)]
[Continued from here]Fiona and Kitty stopped by to see Miss Kaeli to see how she was, as did Zann. The four of them went out for a picnic lunch in the park, and all was good, and then Djinn crashed the party. He went after Fiona and taunted Kitty into breaking the binding on ( Read more... )

[Thursday, July 30th, Noon, Schoolhouse]

It was not far into the hills I fled before I shifted back to Boku's form. With a careful wrench I reset my nose, stumbling a bit at the refreshed pain. With that resolved, I shift once more into Ojiisan and slowly walk back to town. It was not quite fair to Luke to run once more. Not fair to leave him with ( Read more... )

Wednesday, July 22nd, Just outside the schoolhouse

Paper and ink make a pleasing scent, well matched to the scratch and drag of nib against paper. I have made small progress in the data streaming in through that lovely new post office, but all the information whispers to me until it finally fits. All pleasing patterns sketched out in symbols across ( Read more... )

Wednesday, July 22, Day 52
Morning, Follow Me Boy

I'm all ready for school and I'm waiting for Daddy but he hasn't come out of his room yet. Where is he? I knocked on his door but nobody answered and I hope he isn't sick but I just go back to my own room to wait. And then I see one of the other doors open and Daddy's coming out of Aunt Vicky's ( Read more... )

Follow Me Boy, Karina's Suite
Morning, Day 48Maryk is patrolling the house, everyone's here already--or should be--but I find myself sitting at my vanity and staring at my reflection. I look...different today. Like I did after my first real night of sleep, when those dreams no longer plagued me. That dream. The day after the ill-fated deal. It ( Read more... )
