Edit:: Durr. I’m working on Electric Parade, not How Epics are Born. Chart fixed.
Yesterday I had a complete meltdown and I couldn’t write, and now my motivation’s out the window. That’s about the only way I could explain it… maybe it’s because I was sick, maybe it’s because my brain finally went snap. In any case, I wrote the bare minimum that I needed to make my word count, and then I went and played some Guitar Hero and some WoW (and I was crazy cranky in WoW, so I apologize).
This is Weekend #2 and I don’t actually have too much on my plate apart from chores and such. I’m aiming to double my daily word count on Saturday and Sunday, and I want to do well tonight. I’m hoping to finish Electric Parade this weekend.
I’m actually kicking myself because I had literally dreamed the beginning of Electric Parade, but by the time I could put things to paper (I don’t write at work), it was a faded, distant memory.
Here’s a excerpt. If it doesn’t make sense? Good. It means I did my job.
From: Electric Parade, Unbound
“Er… hello? Are you lost?” Zack walked over to the girl, worried she was sick or injured. Instead, the girl looked up at him, her expression blank as she looked up at him.
“I had to sell my kitty,” she said a-matter-of-factly. She dug into a pocket of her dress and produced a handful of peanut S&Ses that looked slightly melted. “This is what they gave me for him.”
Zack blinked at the girl, first eyeing the S&Ses, then looking at her with a puzzled expression. “Uh… where are your parents?”
“We’re moving from the basement, see,” she continued, seeming to completely ignore Zack’s question. He opened his mouth to say something, but the bundle in the girl’s arm’s shifted, and a large orange and white cat leaped out from within the blanket, running down the street with a meow.
Zack watched the cat go, suddenly feeling very confused by the situation. “I thought you said that you had to sell your ca-…?” He turned towards the girl…
… except she wasn’t there anymore.
“What the…?” Zack looked around for the girl ““ both she and the cat had vanished ““ and the light he was standing under suddenly went out, rudely interrupting his search.
“… that’s just great,” Zack muttered to himself, looking up at the light. He considered giving it a boost when the light a few feet away abruptly went out, and in a controlled, almost rhythmic fashion, each light around him fizzled out, plunging the entire street in darkness.
I have to ask… does the “S” in “S&S” stand for anything?
Also, good job on the surreality of the scenario. I’d wonder what the girl’s story is, but I’ve got a feeling she’s meant to be a non sequiter. ^^;

Sweet & Sweeter, the candy that melts everywhere but in your mouthâ„¢.

Don’t think too hard about the girl. Honest. ^^;

If I didn’t think Sky would use Moonside, I’d put something like that in. ^^;
