I liked how they introduced her, like "her mother died in an insane asylum thinking she was Queen Victoria" and my thought was, I like where I think this is going. I was not disappointed.

Just wanted to say that I would love-love-love to see the Nessie stuff in print. I support this endeavor 169% :D

That's been the plan since page 2 or 3 I think.  :)

I think it has been, too. But I wanted to be clear! :D

Someone is compliling all of this for future publication, right?

I'm still patiently waiting for chapter 1 of teh script. For a given definition of patiently  :argh!:

Sorry, a bit busy at the moment. 

Also, Tales from Fat Ernie's is all yours, if you want it.  The other guy utterly flaked out.

I was thinking to use that as a training run, so to speak.  Do you still have chapter 1?
I'm on it!

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

Sadly, no, now I have plenty of time to scour the state for a job...  When I need to tell them that I need two weeks off in the beginning of August.

Yes, it's Pennsic...  However, I am violently defensive of that particular vacation, as it is the only time I see my family.  Mom and my brother come out, with my sister in law and niece, and we take time to go visit the local family, both grandmothers and my uncle, along with whoever else is in the area.

#592
Hours or days or weeks later, she stood and took a single step before collapsing. Her legs had gone numb and she hadn't noticed.

Swearing to herself, she squinted and wiped muck from her scrapped palms on to her mucky clothes. And then realized she was no longer in her safe little haloed haven of light. She was in the dark. And the endless sing-song she'd almost forgotten about; almost accepted as a mandatory part of her new existence; was louder now. Closer than it had been.

She pulled herself upright and proceeded down the tunnel, her eyes gradually adjusting. And she did not look back to the circle of light and its promise of access to another life. There was only darkness, now. And keening melodies that swirled around her, tugging her onwards.

Miles passed slowly. Tingling in her legs turned to burning pin-pricks and then faded to nothing. For awhile she was only aware of the music, occasionally punctuated by her growling stomach and rasping breath from a parched throat. But she began to ache and shake. Mile after mile of damp, dirty tunnels passed unchanging.

Even the intersections looked the same. Until her foot slammed into something that would not yield and she fell into a pile of . . . metal?

Her face smacked into something, her slime-slick hands failing to stop her momentum. And nose to nose with her was a man, eyes glazed with death staring at her in shock.

She rolled, screaming or whimpering or laughing, and kicked the body as she did so. Her foot, the one previously injured by slamming into the metal-clad corpse, protested with streaks of agony as it connected. She howled, clutching her foot.

The echoing, wailing keen stopped. Silence fell so thick and fast that it smothered her. It crushed her and sapped the strength from her pounding heart until she couldn't hear that anymore either. But there was something, like a baby cry only more shrill and more despairing.

Pulling herself forward she encountered another corpse, this one conveniently lacking most of the punishing metal. She heaved the body to one side and beheld a horror, the size of an infant. Unable to count the flailing limbs or discern the head from tail, she crooned. It paused, one appendage tilting to the side to listen and study her. Its head was sleek and tiny slivers of iridescence must be its barely opened eyes.

An abandoned baby. Well, that she knew how to deal with. She arranged herself until she was sitting comfortably cross-legged and sang an old, familiar lullaby. She sang over and over again until the tiny creature relaxed and even cheeped. It pooled itself in her lap, warm as a furnace and slick like a fish. Its breathing evened and the twin slits of light disappeared. It slept.

Exhausted and pleased to have done something right, she leaned back against the wall (or maybe it was another corpse), and slept too.


She dreamed of many strange things. Words that were spoken in the hissing tongue of snakes and the rolling song of whales filled her head. And in her sleep she understood them. Ancient creatures debating with younger about the fate of a woman left alone in the tunnels. It was a tragic story, she thought, listening to them decide. Their history, the woman they talked about, what they planned. So much darkness.

The world was moving, sliding and gliding on an undulating wave of flesh the color of tar and smelling of earth, serpents, and the ocean. When the motion ceased her dreams changed. Instead of siren lullabies and gentle rocking, her family was going away - shrinking in the distance - and leaving her behind. Calling their good-byes and so-sorry-mommys as they waved and disappeared over the horizon.

Wailing, she woke. And once more found herself face-to-face with a pair of glazed eyes. Ink-dark, slime-slick skin framed the glowing gaze that seemed to measure, dissect, and memorize her every atom. Fear froze her into a statue and she forgot to breathe.

A sturdy nudge to her knee and another one when she didn't acknowledge the first had her looking down. The small creature she'd met earlier was butting its head against her leg. When it had her attention it looked up at her and chirped a few bars of the lullaby she'd sang to it. Then it once more pooled itself into her lap.

The black terror with glowing eyes watched everything. Then blinked and made a movement, part slither and part shudder. She guessed it to be some kind of shrug. It turned away, leaving her with the baby.

She reached a hand down to stroke the creature in her lap and smiled as it hiss-cooed and wiggled sinuously.

This wasn't where she'd fallen asleep, she noted, keeping her face turned to the creature in her lap. From what she could see through her lashes, this cavern was huge. Easily big enough to hold a large town or a small city. Every inch of floor seemed to be piled thick with the creatures. There were huge pools of faintly luminescent liquid releasing mineral-scented steam into the air. Squiggling bits of light writhed on the walls about halfway up the rock and giant stalactites dangled from the cavern roof. There were no stalagmites, however.

Where could she be that had limestone caves? Was the water in those pools drinkable? She was parched. And starving.

Before she could put her little friend to one side and examine the nearest pool, one of the monsters halfway between the big one and the baby slither-slipped-slunk over to her. It dropped something beside her, almost crushing her, and vanished into the morass of creatures.

She gathered up the baby and stood. Her foot throbbed distantly but it didn't seem important. The creature had brought her an entire refrigerator. And, she bundled the baby into one arm and touched the metal side of the stainless steel appliance, it was still cold.

Where? What? HOW?

She opened it and pulled out a can of soda, still perfectly chilled. Disbelieving, she popped the tab one-handed and took a sip.

If this was the beginnings of insanity, at least it came with beverages.
