Circle the wagons

March 11, 2015June 18, 2020

They offered me shelter. The Rovers, I mean. Food. Safety in numbers.

I look at Martin and Josie. My responsibility. Martin’s shaking his head. Josie’s looking at the sky. What do I care about the Rovers’ revolution? I back the fuck away.

I like it when you return to these characters 🙂 You build internal and external conflict and play out a whole scene, with emotion, in 42 words. Garglequeen.

  They are fun characters. I only have a vague sense of the larger story, but I’m enjoying exploring the relationships.

  Thanks, CC! I’ve done longer pieces about these characters. Nothing major in the works, just kind of playing around. (Click the “dystopian” tag if you want to read more…)

  Thanks, Susan! I’m not sure exactly what may or may not come next, but you can read bits and pieces about these characters elsewhere on my blog, if you like. (Click the “dystopian” tag…)
