So,
my approach to the A-Z challenge is this: Write a story using only
words which begin with letters we've 'passed.' So, in other words, on
day one I can use words which start with A, on day two it's words which
start with A, or B, etc.
The goal here? Silliness. Enjoy!
Day J!
A
- Alan Adkinson attacked Alicia’s alabaster angel at Akron Academy.
Afterwards, Alicia admitted attacking aggressively augmented Alan’s
attractiveness. Alicia accepted Alan’s advances, and, after an
adventure, Alan’s artless attitude.
B
- Betty Boswell, bored and bitter behind Berkshire’s accounting arm,
accidentally acquired Alicia’s alabaster angel. Bedeviled by
aforementioned accursed angel, Betty began Alan’s annihilation by
arranging an attack against Alicia and Akron!
C
- Careful contemplation communicates certain conundrums: Could Alicia’s
alabaster angel cause Betty Boswell’s baneful attitude? Certainly!
Alicia’s angel actually contained a bound air creature; cruel, angry,
and bitter. Bound constructs (as Alicia’s angel) actually commonly
corrupt capable adults. (Beware both angel carvings and alabaster
containers.) Betty, bound and controlled, behaved accordingly.
D
- Deemed dangerous by Akron Academy, Alan admitted defeat. Alan denied
Akron’s accusations, and Alicia accepted Alan’s comforting, but admitted
certain doubts. Crushed, Alan departed Akron and abandoned Alicia,
chasing comfort and direction abroad.
E
- Eventually, Alan discovered employment as an excavator deep below
Earth’s crust at “Everwilde Excavations.” Although affording excellent
compensation, excavation also allowed ample contemplation. Even abrupt,
artless Alan discerned Alicia’s emotions. Contrite and chagrined, Alan
examined evacuating Everwilde.
F
- Fate eventually found Alicia alone and exhausted behind a Berkshire
Accounting building, fainted from a fatigue and depression cocktail.
Alicia’s angel felt Alicia’s fallen condition and acted fast. Betty,
acting as Alicia’s friend, enticed forlorn Alicia, and Alicia became
Betty’s flatmate.
G
- Digging amid ancient fossils, Alan discovered a gray cube. Curious,
Alan brushed and dug and ground dirt and dust away. Eventually, Alan
found arcane designs etched along edges and corners. Gripping and
dragging, Alan dislodged a cover and glimpsed a gem-covered case.
H - After dinner, Alan dozed and didn’t hear a faint call emanating from his curious case.
“Hush...” air hissed, and bright eyes blinked from Alan’s box.
“Alan.. Alan. Alan!” Alan dreamed he heard Alicia calling him.
“Hush?”
Alan awoke, his eyes blinking at empty air.
“Hush!”
“Huh?”
I - “I guess I’ll call it Hush,” Alan considered. He had discovered a creature in his box and it had hushed him.
“Hush!” hushed Hush. “Hooooosh!” It bounced atop Alan’s hand. “Heesh heesh heeeeesh!”
Alan chuckled at Hush’s antics. Its diminutive frame and itsy-bitsy
claws brushed Alan’s fingers. Abruptly, Hush bit Alan’s fingertip,
gently at first, but harder and harder. “Hey!” Alan hollered in
aggravation. But Hush bit harder.
“Hey! I-” Alan felt a curious feeling in his arm. Blood drained from his face, and he collapsed.
J - “Jerk.” Alicia deleted another email from Alan. “Just go away.” Delete.
Alicia had been Betty’s flatmate for a few days and her Angel’s evil
juju had already affected her. Betty gleefully eavesdropped as Alicia fell
deeper and deeper into darkness and despair - ignoring Alan’s calls,
deleting his emails, and generally behaving just as her Angel desired.
