Excerpt: There was a saying amongst the elders: only fools who are too certain of themselves dare to seek out the gates. The strange girl who arrived with the end of the brief rains seemed to be a perfect embodiment of that belief. Without even a pretense at fear or respect, she said, "There was a man living here. He was my brother. Where did he go?"
They did not answer her that day, nor the next, when she came again. There was a light in her eyes that none dared to challenge, but one also that no one dared to meet yet.
At night, the wind howled through the sand dunes and rattled against the walls of their tents and huts, and the girl emerged every morning to ask the question again: where did my brother go?
Thoughts: fffffffffffffffff I'm not doing as well as some people on my flist, but I'm not doing badly, either! I'm even ahead, though I'm not sure how long I'll be able to maintain that lead--I didn't end up writing at all yesterday I did an RP post instead, but I want to try more tonight! Maybe more original stuff, THAT WOULD BE KIND OF NICE ... but even if it's not, I got some amazing prompts for
yaoi_challenge, and I kind of want to write at least three of them. MAYBE FOUR! It's a good thing that there's a long time before the due date, I think I could maybe pull this off--!
I'm stupidly happy with the original thing I posted, though, thank you everyone who commented. ;^;b
