Prompt fills, part 3!
Oct. 28th, 2009 12:46 amSo, my friend Ian gave me an awesome picture prompt as well. It's a scene from a Russian operetta--but this I didn't know while writing it. I did NO research into the picture before I started, and was amused afterward when I compared my fill with the operetta.
This deals with a character that is in my Nano novel's 'verse--Bridget, a younger sister of Stannie and Ollie. In Toyland, it is expected that children leave home when they are 13 (13 being a very lucky number) to have themselves an Adventure. Most return shortly after. Some never do. Bridget (and her brother, Bobby) are two that are gone for many, many years. This is an idea of what happens to them, in a kingdom far, far away from their family in Toyland...
Written in great haste during my lunch break, and typed in even greater haste once home. I have a nagging suspicion the verb tense got screwed, but I'm so tired I can't tell *DIES*.
