Well, I got interested in the Library at Eggplant Productions, but I decided my first attempt, though it hit exactly 300 words, was not quite ready -- it needs to be pushed more in the creepy direction. I envision four interlocked submissions, which could be read separately, but which together make a bigger story.
Oh, hell, maybe I should just write it up as a full-fledged story.
I'm off to Point Reyes/Tomales Bay/Drake's Bay this evening, and I have to empty the camera first -- and I just took a whole raft of pictures down at the levee. I wish the camera was more quickly responsive. I could have gotten a great picture of mallards in their mating flight, and another of a flying crow. I did get some orioles hunkered down in an aspen (or something: I forget whether I recognized the tree). There are a lot more deciduous things by the river than there are in other places around here. I wonder if it has to do with the presence of groundwater close to the surface? I wonder if evergreens do better in dry summers? I wonder why I don't already know this?
I also worked on Afterwar. A whopping 240 words, for a total of 540.
