The Shattered Prayer

Well, it has been a little more than a day since my last story. Too much to do at work. But I finally have the next installment. This is not an official title. It is a title that sprang from a conversation with Che Rex. But it was a title that I thought had promise. I did not have as much time to edit this one, however, so please forgive any awkward turns of phrase.

When choosing the title for the Story a Day (really, three stories a week), two titles came out, neither one of them that inspiring — The Cardboard Doll or The Butterfly Wars. Our instructions were to write two different stories, choose one, or combine the titles. I choose the Cardboard Doll, but gave a little shout out to the other title.

Now for Beggars Would Ride. Apparently there is a no erotic rule (which I will gladly ignore for a good story) and I originally thought I would do an erotic story for this, but in the end, I went a different way.

Here is the latest story. I really struggled with this title. “Born Into Light”. Ugh. I thought immediately of Lucifer and Heaven and the fall, but I thought it was too obvious. Worked a long time on it, but this is what I finally came up with.

This year, Story a Day is really three stories a week. The second title we were give was “Deep Fried Moose.” Ugh. Two stinker titles in a row. But I plowed on through and came up with this.

Here is my first entry for the Story a Day. The Title was “Roscoe Falls Reflections” and I have to admit I hated the title. But it was the one I had to work with, so I started to work. Legion fans may recognize the name of the lead character, and that may give you a hint of where the story is going. So please, ignore her spoilery name!

Last year, I participated in a story a day exercise initiated by Stefficus. I even posted one of my stories here on Shattered Prayer. Well, it is story time again. The rules are simple. A title is initiated at random, and you simply write a story based on the title. I’m going to post some of my stories here on Shattered Prayer. I hope you enjoy!

It’s been a while since we heard from Bas. I know that, unlike many of us, he actually does stuff. You know, out there… in reality. He’s been busy with his synths, and I know that’s something he enjoys, so I’m happy for him even if it means we don’t get to see him as often.
