I really appreciate it, more than you know. I also appreciate your comments.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the accent was difficult to read, but it was also difficult to write. I actually ended up sorting every word in the story to make sure I spelled everything wrong&#8230; consistently. It was, as one of you pointed out, to show how bad off society has gotten. Education has slipped; it&#8217;s a wonder my poor {unnamed} character can write at all.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of you (thanks writer pals <a href=\"http:\/\/1000trillionsuns.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gareth<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/jlgentryauthor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jerry<\/a>) said you wanted to read more in that world, which is something I had not even thought about, so now I&#8217;m thinking I might write a few more stories in that setting. Definitely writing a story from Preatcher Skinth&#8217;s point of view. \ud83d\ude42 (Or should that be a frowny face?)<\/p>\n<p>I wrote today&#8217;s story, a marked departure from the dystopian, scary world of Point Fair, a couple years ago, but the first draft was kind of confusing, especially as to what character was talking when. My thoughts gnawed on how to fix it for a while, but then it came to me, and I did the edits in like 20 minutes. Not that it&#8217;s perfect, mind you, but I like it much better.<\/p>\n<p>So, enjoy story #2:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><strong>The Family Business<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Ana found herself in a strange place: back flush against the wall of a cave. Lights shimmered around her and confused her. She felt like she should be in some crazy 80\u2019s fantasy film, the way the cave molded around her and the lights glittered and strobed.<\/p>\n<p>She also felt like this had to be a dream, but her little sister, Maya, was with her. And when she grabbed the child\u2019s arm, Maya squealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop that! It hurts!\u201d the girl protested.<\/p>\n<p>Definitely not a dream.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly, Ana\u2019s side of the cave, the side where she stood with Maya, seemed somehow lighter than the other side: the side where their great-aunt Asha stood. That side seemed darker, and more\u2026ominous somehow, she decided.<\/p>\n<p>Her little sister tugged on her hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to go,\u201d Maya cried, but Ana couldn\u2019t do anything about it. She didn\u2019t see a way to leave. A place to turn, or to hide. No exits. Nowhere to go.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a theme of my life<\/em>, she thought to herself. <em>Nowhere to go.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And I\u2019m not good enough to go anywhere if there is even a <\/em>somewhere<em> to go.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And I\u2019m just stuck here, in this cave of lights, this cave that smells faintly of fear and honeysuckle.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>She stood up straight. \u201cHoneysuckle!\u201d she whispered to her little sister. \u201cDo you smell it? It means spring!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maya cocked her head a little to the right, in a gesture eerily reminiscent of her own gestures. \u201cYes,\u201d she whispered back. \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Ana felt her little sister release her hand, and go searching for the source of the lovely smell.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4558\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/dsavannah.com\/blog\/index.php\/fictionfriday-the-family-business\/bullet\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/dsavannah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullet.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"15,13\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bullet\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/dsavannah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullet.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/dsavannah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullet.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4558\" src=\"http:\/\/dsavannah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullet.jpg\" alt=\"dot\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho are you?\u201d Maya asked, staring up at the old woman who stood in the dark. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you come out in the light and help me find the special smell?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The old lady just looked down on her, her mouth in a grimace. \u201cI am your great-aunt.
