sea_sprayThis is the chapters i have so far for John Michael Greer's writing in public challenge.
I think it's going to be a de-indrustrial light fantasy but I don't know how it's going to go yet.
Here's what came out on the keyboard so far.
**************************
A boy ran through the woods chased by a zombie a wolf a fox and a tree. The wolf shouted “slow down tom, I can’t keep up if you keep running to fast”. The others said that “ you’ll need to run faster to keep up rony!”. Rony then triped over somthing and by the time he had got up again the others had vanished among the trees and the only thing that remained of them was vauge shouts receding into the distance. At first rony was angry, “guys come back, this isn’t fair!” he shouted. But soon he started to get scared. “Guys come back, i donlt know where i am!”. He stumbled forward and tried to find the others again. But jsut got more and more lost. Eventualy in a quiet grove of trees he sat down and started to cry. He eventualy lay down and went to sleep.
The boy was asleep in the grove of trees. The trees sorounded him, the moss was his pillow. Somthing watched the sleeping boy. As the night grew colder the boy woke he thought he could hear somthing. He looked around but couldent see anything. It was getting dark. There was a glow in the trees. He looked at it . The glow was in the shape of a person. Sleeply the boy got up and moved towards the glow as he rubbed his eyes. As he got closer the glowing shape moved away. It was only just visable in the dark and the thought entered the boys head that if he followed it the shape would lead him to safety. He sleepply followed the shape through the forrest and eventualy he saw another light. This one was a flash through the trees. Ronny heard some voices. He called out, “hey, can you help me!”. “Ronnald?” the reply came, and his dad came out or the trees and picked him up in a big hug. “thank god i found you”. “I got lost, but there was a glow that helped me find you”. “I’m glad you could see the torches” his dad said. There were several guys spread out through the forrest helping to look. Ronnald was taken home and went to bed.
A teenager found a battered book in an old libray. It was about the training of the mind and sprit. After reading it he thought he would try it out. Every day he took a few minuits to pratice as the book described. One day he felt a presence in the forrest, not doing anything, just being there. He ran away scared.
The next day he caushishly came back. As he got close he slowed down and stopped. He calmed his mind an opened it up to see if the presence was still there. At first he felt nothing and thouget he must have imagined it but then he felt a twinge of somthing on the edge of what he could feel. He pulled back. After fighting down his fear he looked again. There was definatly somthing there. He moved closer by a few meters and opened his mind to look again. There it was, just sitting there, not looking at him. It felt vaugly human shaped, but more like a fog than an actual shape. The ronaled gathered up his courage and said “hello..” in a wavering voice. He could feel the presences attensin shift to him for a moment and the drift away again. Enboldened he moved a little closer and said “ helo, i can see you.”. The shape now looked at him more closely. It was sitting on a fallen log and had been looking at the roots of thetree where they had pulled out of the ground. It now started to drift towards ronald.
