Random Musings of a Curious Mind


"It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Finite Organs of the Infinite Mind

I started a new blog several months ago. It's intended to be a platform for creative writing; my own fiction and, perhaps, some essays. So far, I haven't put a lot of time into it, but it is growing slowly.

Here is an excerpt from a work-in-progress. I haven't posted it on the blog, yet; so you are the first and only people to have seen it - besides me, of course.

"Geneva! I'm bored!" Long, dark lashes fluttered over deep brown eyes, as a single tear escaped. "I don't want to play this game anymore!"

"Now, Merry," Geneva began, her voice soft and gentle. "You gave your word. Whatever card you drew. Remember? Even though Selina and I tried to warn you?" Putting aside the case file, she bent toward the earnest little face. "Fredo and Stefan aren't complaining, now are they, little one?"

An energetic snort from over Geneva's shoulder warned her that Fredo was about to do just that and, if he got started, she knew that Stefan wouldn't be far behind. Luckily, when Geneva turned and pointed a newly-polished nail at him, Merry's brother had the good sense to swallow whatever he'd been about to say and stare innocently up at the ceiling. One upset 'assistant' was definitely all she could handle today.

"But Mordecai said it would be fun, Neva!" Another tear snuck out to roll down Merry's silky cheek. "He promised! And it's not!" she insisted, fisting her hands on her hips and stomping her tiny foot. "It's not fun to be human - at all!"

With that pronouncement, Merry threw herself into Geneva's arms, sobbing as though her heart had broken.


Please visit Finite Organs of the Infinite Mind and share your opinions. Some of the posts are rather rough; I'm still getting into a rhythm. But, I look forward to reading your comments.
