(no subject)
I posted here a while ago about a work in progress, Staves. It is still a work in progress, of course, but I've completed the introduction and tried to clarify a few things. I've also written a little more and included a soundtrack. (Yes, a soundtrack. I kept listening to music and thinking, "Oh! This captures _______ about/in Staves!" So I compiled them and am offering them up for download should anyone be curious (but only for seven days, since it's yousendit.))
Sample:
To find the beginning of this story, one would have to go to the very beginning of a life, which would lead to the beginning of a relationship, which would lead to the beginning of the world, which would in turn lead to another beginning (the world had to come from somewhere, after all), so on and so forth, until before long the relevant story is lost beneath a recapping of history.
With this in mind, an effort shall be undertaken to shorten the length of this work and choose a specific beginning. I briefly mention a war that has been going on since before man noticed the stars, a war greater than any other war conceived. And in this world dropped a small girl, smaller in importance than a hobbit in Middle Earth (pre-Ring); her significance, in the long run, was the same as almost anyone’s– Insubstantial. She was, to be frank, less important than a drop in the ocean.
Her name, as it is customary to give the names of characters, was Madison Hadley. Children delighted in calling her Mad Hadder. They thought themselves witty.
