Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 1.3(wip)

Life was hard for Sheldon in a way I constantly tried to understand, but never really could. Growing up, Sheldon was a great big brother, very loving and protective and also playful. As we both grew and changed, our lives and relationship became complicated. Now that I was bigger than him, he was having trouble dealing with the new dynamic of our relationship. He resented having to pretend to be my little brother around humans, which it seemed we were around more and more. Mom was the one who always seemed to make everything balance out just right, and now she was gone.

It’s Like the Full Moon chapter 1 (wip)

“I’d like to talk to you in private. Can we take a walk outside?  The rain has stopped.”

“Sure thing Virg.” Becca stood up from the table and walked with Virgil into the hallway. On the way out, she grabbed a light jacket and her umbrella, for just in case.  They walked side by side silently to the end of the long cobble stone driveway that lead up to the cottage. Shyly Virgil reached out to hold Rebecca’s hand, missing the first time, but then catching her embrace as he swung his arm back and forth while inching closer to her. At the end of the driveway, they stood under a blue-tinted downward facing street lamp. The hue and angle of the light didn’t interfere with the glow of the starry sky above and so they had quite a view to share as they began to chat.

Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 1(wip)

For as long as I could remember, Mom had always worn her hair up in a bun. I’d seen digital imprints of her when she was younger, wearing her hair down, and thought that she looked much prettier that way. Her hair was a medium length for her face and it was very dark and wavy. I always thought that when she wore her hair down, it made her look like the kind of person who really knew how to have fun.

I stood in front of my reflecting shield looking at myself wishing that I could see her facial features looking back at me. No matter how hard I wished, her features just weren’t there.  I wasn’t tall and voluptuous like she was, and my skin wasn’t dark like hers either. My hair was long, thin, and curly and my skin was fair.
