V is for Very Sorry!

2comments
Vell,

It turns out the A to Z challenge is too much for me!  Adding a third job this month didn't help either.

The reality is that I now have very little time to write, and vhen I do I choose to vork on my projects rather than blog.  And I'm so sorry!

I vill finish the A to Z story of foolishness, though.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I really appreciate it. It's nice to build connections and to feel like somebody cares to read vhat I write.  I visit the blog of every commenter, so, even if I don't leave a comment there, know I'm paying attention and returning to see more!

Thanks again!

A to Z challenge: J is for JuJu!

9comments
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.

A to Z challenge: I!

Today's Letter: I.

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 down even harder.
    “Hey! I-” Alan felt a curious feeling in his arm. Blood drained from his face, and he collapsed.

Disaster. Got the flu, like everybody else in my family. Stayed in the blue reclining chair for hours.
