Zombies, Write II Entry

(( This is an interesting post.  For those of you who don't know, I'm a huge fan of ZombiesRun, a game on iOS and Android where you go out in the real world and run (or walk in my case) and get a story around your music about surviving in the Zombie Apocalypse.  It adds a really interesting facet to your exercise.  And I definitely recommend it to ANYONE and EVERYONE.

This post though, is part of a thing called Zombies Write II.  Its an unofficial fanfic writing type thing that plays out like a Secret Santa.  I was giving a prompt by Pamela over at http://www.tumblr.com/blog/pamelamella.  Her prompts were really fun to play around with, and even though I wanted to do every one of them, I chose:
  • Haven't heard much from Molly since season 1- any request or needs from the children of New Canton or Able?
I chose it because I had been wondering about Ed and Molly since their appearance in Season 1 Episode 4.  It was a great mission, and I was hoping to hear about them in the community.  And after the events that led to Season 2, I really had been wondering what happened to some of the supporting cast that I had acquired along the way.  Thank you Pamela for pulling this story out of me, it was a ton of fun!  Anyways, the story: ))

((P.S. Don't worry, the Ballad will return at its normal day and time next week! ))

(poem) - All Hallows Eve Approaches

My dreams are haunted as of late
I have needs I need to satiate

The thirty first of October comes
Looming across many horizons

The drums of the day, beat within my head
Telling me of who shall return from the dead


To haunt the waking world outside
And who it is with which I will ride

The sands of time fall through the hole
And pile up like dunes in the bowl

Everything around us will eventually turn to dust
Scattered by the wind which forgets our petty lust

Ghosts from the future along with those from the past
Will come on All Hallows Eve to make it our last

But we will dress up as demons and freaks
To scare them away from that which they seek

Ultimate destruction will in no way be theirs
For even the dead have hysterical fears

At the end of the night, as dawn breaks in the East
We raise our glass and prepare for Thanksgiving’s feast

But only if the Great Pumpkin doesn’t arise and devour....
Hopefully Linus van Pelt will keep that covered


So my friends, as I awaken
I can look at these haunted dreams of mine

And realize the greatest truth of all
That Halloween is the greatest holiday of them all

For it’s the only one that we have to struggle to survive
The rest are all gifts, love, and lies

But All Hallows Eve is a test to the living
And makes you appreciate life without the gift giving

Because if you make it to the Day of All Saints
Then you shall have a bucket of Candy and nary a single complaint

My Nightmare

Ever have one of those dreams after hearing a song or watching a movie.  Yeah, Nightmare on My Street by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince has been a favorite of mine for decades.  But sometimes, after maybe watching a Freddy film and listening to that song...you drift off into sleep and....

A Character's Story

Everyone knows, by now, that I truly love writing and creating characters.  Its one of the true joys of creativity, to be able to really get into a story and work through it.  What most don’t know is, the character of El’Mindeeya Do’Katal, the Emerald Bard, has been around for quite some time, probably close to a decade, and only just recently has she been truly captured in a high quality picture.

She started off as just a name.  Deeya.  Such a simple beginning, but I loved how the name sounded.  It sounded almost elvish, but it was used in other ways first.  In fact, before we go any further, let me go even further back.
