@ Novel Ideas

I’m delighted to have been invited to present my workshop on Visual Mood Boards for the emerging Second Life® writers’ group Novel Ideas at their writing home. The session will take place tomorrow, Sunday, 23 November, at noon SLT (8 p.m. UK/PT). I’m very much looking forward to it!

Thank you to Songbird Swords and Brycie Punkinspicey (brycie.strange).

Poetry

 

Milk Wood

She wrote poetry.

He said it was garbage.

She tried again and again.

He laughed.

She cried.

He mocked her.

She wanted to stay, but couldn't. She wanted to leave, but couldn't.

He torched her poetry.

She wrote some more.

His rage became impossible. He destroyed her clothes and her books.

She grabbed her purse, her poetry notebook and her umbrella. She didn't know why she took the umbrella with her. She just did. It was hers and it reminded her that when you look at an umbrella from underneath, you can see the sky and feel that you're flying.

Gift

 

Milk Wood

Look at the bag, you'll see.

I'm looking.

Look closer.

I am!

Do you see it?

I don't see anything. What is it?!

The bag.

Yes, it's the bag. So what?

The bag is not the bag.

OK. What's wrong with the bag? We've been using this bag for years.

No, we haven't. This is not our bag. Open it.

When they opened the bag, three bars of gold blinded them.

Told you. It's a gift from heaven!

No, it's not. We're giving them back.

No!

Yes. This is not ours.

Well...

No. Some of us still have morals.

Pfffft...

Nostalgia by Cicca

The little robot rolled around, following him. No, thank you. No need. You can roll back to your corner, he said holding his daughter's photo. The pain was unbearable. The robot tilted its head to look at the photo. He frowned. What do you want? The robot blinked twice. He stared at it in silence. He knew that blink. He looked closer. Is it you in there? The robot blinked twice. He rushed to read the gift card again. And there it was. It's just a robot, he thought, but it wasn't just a robot. That blink saved his life.
