(Chapter 7, part 7…) I entered the office of Principal Stokes with bated breath, shutting the door behind me. The silhouetted back of the thin but looming man greeted me without a word nor motion. His hands were clasped behind himself as I sat down within the solitary chair that was opposite...

( Chapter 7, Part 6…) I often wondered why Tom never visited Nurse Jackson for treatment of his daily beatings. But I figured he was told by his teachers to let the shame of his sins show. Besides, Tom was too proud to get treatment anyway. With this thought in the back of my mind, we did not...

(Chapter 2, part 2…) The newly formed trio just stood around uncomfortably upon the curtained stage before they were shooed away hurriedly by a stagehand to motion them all towards the wings off stage. The audience would no longer see them once the curtain was pulled apart once more. Without...

(Chapter 7, Part 5…) It was midday as I found myself with Tom again at our usual hangout spot upon the bench. He was not impressed by my arm in a sling but did not hassle me about how I got hurt. He was chill like that. He usually would not bother with things he knew would embarrass me. I...

Well, yeah I can see that. 😀 (Chapter 2, part 1…) Chapter 2: That’s Showbiz! Maverick was able to look at his companions with new clarity. The purple dressed man that introduced himself earlier as Fert was idly brushing dust from the lapel of his purple jacket. There was no haste nor...

( chapter 1, part 9…) Maverick just stood upon the stage as the rabbit woman had bowed gracefully towards the audience. He barely even registered she had stood upright again until he felt her hand grasp his. He glanced over at her slightly as she gave a wink and bowed again, forcing him into...

Well, this is fair. But to be honest, as I am making up this story on the fly and have no idea personally where it is going, I can’t promise consistency within the World Of Wonders. I guess I am just that zany as the concept is. 😀

( chapter 1, part 8…) Maverick stood still within the spotlight, unsure of what to do. He felt the stares of the faceless shadowed crowd watching him from the audience. Suddenly, he noticed he held a black top hat within his right hand. He was still wearing his usual clothes, so had no notion...

Are you encouraging the characters to assume an “inside” point of view here retrospectively? The reader can take it or leave it up to interpretation. I did not specify if the character felt any type of way, granted, his feeling of suffocating within the chaotic environment around him does lead...

( chapter 1, part 7…) The two vagrants decided upon a spot closer near the theatre stage, but about a few rows of seats back so as not to be uncomfortably close. With seating decided, they sat down within the plush seats and awaited as the noise of the audience died down before the red curtain...

(Chapter 7, Part 4…) I stepped out of Nurse Robert Jackson’s office and found Pamela Godfrey still standing to the side. She had a perplexed look upon her face before noticing I was staring at her. She looked over at me, a slight shocked expression as she was staring at my left arm in a cast...

(Chapter 7, Part 3…) I looked at Nurse Robert with slight hesitation at his question. My smile faltered as I considered telling the truth to him. I trusted him as I grew up, almost like a substitute father when my Dad had left five years ago. Well, that was to be expected as Nurse Robert...

(Chapter 7, Part 2…) I felt slightly put off by the meaning of the psalm message in front of me. The only cloth I could recall in the Lord’s would be my white Angelic Proclaim robes. And I sang in the choir. I was starting to feel creeped out, as if the gaze of God had spoken. My body felt cold...

(Chapter 7, Part 1…) Chapter 7: School Daze… I awoke to the stiffening soreness of my left arm, the new day bright and sunny. I winced in pain from the numbing pain I felt but knew it would heal with time. Getting up from my bed, I gradually went through the tough task of taking off my old...

( chapter 1, part 6…) As Maverick knelt down to pick up the coin purse, he vaguely glanced back in the direction of the person that had bumped into him. White heeled shoes were the first thing he saw that beheld stockings in a garnered-like fashion upon the legs of a woman garbed within a white...

(Chapter 6, Part 4…) Claire took me back home from The Solace Place in her blue convertible car, having picked up my bicycle and placing it upon her rear seats. She did not say anything as she helped me gently into the passenger seat so as not to hurt me further with my injuries. We said...

Glad to have that effect captured in your mind. Sort of what I was going for in shock value or amazement. ( chapter 1, part 5…) The young thief and dapper gentleman just gazed out into this vibrant scene, the large room encompassing around them in full swing like a tidal wave crashing down in...

( chapter 1, part 4…) Before Maverick could even reply, Fert took this hesitance as clarification and started walking over to a red satin curtain in slight tatters covered in a decade of dust. The purple suited man just coughed as dust was flung about, while Maverick just sighed quietly to...

( chapter 1, part 3…) The air between the two stark different personalities was as vibrant a contrast to be seen. The pestilent and foreboding youth of Maverick as he somehow gingerly got to his feet whilst still holding his sore hand, flexing his fingers as gently as he could to get the pain...

Well, that aspect is characteristic, not exactly setting based. But, I can see where the similarities between the two can apply.
