There’s monsters in this city, you know.

Johnny C used to tell stories. Used to go out at night, tell you, ‘Stay put’ and ‘Don’t follow me’. Used to bring back trinkets for you. ‘Souvenirs,’ he called ‘em. A patch, well-worn and ripped from dark

thank you! i had to pare it down quite a bit to meet the word limit, but i rather like my OC here and have developed background for this person :) perhaps will pop up again!

Very atmospheric, kel! This is way cool. And Jack as CSM -- how sinister. I liked that glimpse of him.

[kel_reiley]

thanks, blue! :D

in my mind, this takes place in the days not long after the 1999 massacre in the Hub, and before Jack gets a team of his own, so he's not quite yet the man we get to know in series 1

i was very surprised that no one used the x-files in their stories this round - that's pretty much what prompted me to write this

Oooh, indeed! You shoulda played!

[kel_reiley]

thanks!
except if i'd played, i probably wouldn't have written this, b/c prompts and deadlines make me freeze up - it was only after reading the other entries that i even got the idea

i think i might do what a few others are doing and just play along on the side, but i probably won't be able to fill every prompt (though i have a vague idea for the next one)

I gotta steal Blue's word -- atmospheric. I love it. Oh, and the "funny white honeycomb", what a great detail. :D

[kel_reiley]

thanks, bb! it's tough fitting details into so few words - normally this doesn't worry me as i generally fail at detailed writing, but i'm glad that worked :)

also, your icon is AWESOME!

[lookninjas]

Creepy as hell. I love it.

[kel_reiley]

thank you :D
