Doc Starts A New LJ Project
Ok, so I’m gonna try my hand at a bit of “storytelling via LJ poll”. I will freely admit to being inspired by robin_d_laws most excellent Angels & Operators, as well as the lingering effects of watching an hour long tv piece about Terry Gilliam and his films. The format is familiar to those of you who have been reading my blog this past year, so let’s dive in.
On The Road With Violet
One day in May, young Violet Samantha Ingrid Thistledown decides to leave home and go to the great City of Glass, about which she has heard fantastic tales all her life. So, packing up some food, a change of clothes, a few personal items and all of the money in her (not at all wicked, but dumb as a bag full of doorknobs) stepmother’s purse, she steps out of her front door.
After a short walk through the village, she comes to a crossroads. Since she has no idea at all where the City of Glass actually is, she decides that one road is as good as the next.
What, No Y Chromosome?
I suppose it would be too much for Violet to ask someone in the village, “Hey, buddy, which way to the City of Glass?”
Re: What, No Y Chromosome?
Ah, but she did ask…repeatedly. I shall elaborate in the next entry.
Excellent! We need more of these!
