Between Brothers

A scene long past from oral-storytelling, but one that I figure I can share. The second of three pieces, the first being Empty Afterbirth, the last of which I will share soon.

OfferingsAs the tide crashes on the rocky shore behind her, Renn watches unidentifiable swill gloop to the blackened stones below the tube's opening. She wonders if perhaps the drain pipe is disguised as an entrance rather than the other way around. She tugs at her dark clothes, smoothing them down her belly and hips. Her darks are more snug than she would like and they ride up some for it; but for the first time wearing them since her pregnancy, she is pleased to know that they will fit as they should, given a little more time. "Get in, get the files, get out. Easy, Renn, you can do this. Here goes," she mutters to herself, walking towards the Offerings

My worst kept secret:
I write when I have far too much other work to do.
I have strength of will enough to keep myself from games for a time- but in this time, my mind is its own playground and work is dodged deftly.

As such:

I mostly write fiction. I write shorts and I'm working on two manuscripts.

"Shells" - An adult magic realist piece set on a land-locked island in British Columbia's Kootenays.

"Valley of View" - An adolescent fantasy/psudo-steampunk piece that revolves around a group of teens attempting to pull a ravaged country from ruin. Hoping to get some feedback for this one, seeing as the vast majority of deviants are the same age group as my intended audience.

I write some poetry. It's not my forte, but if I didn't write a little poetry all my poet friends would call me a ' proser'. And seriously, who needs that?

I'm also a part of a fantastic oral storytelling group. Sometimes I write scenes from sessions or write bits to compliment sessions, and sometimes I share those on here.

I draw occasionally too, but we'll see if I ever throw anything on here. Most of the pictures are done by my lovely roommate to compliment my writings.

Hope you enjoy yourself

(for the record- the 'necromancer' bit is an English teaching joke- not a reference to my characters or work. Think about it
