The Notes
I'm sorry to be so all over the place with my shares. I've decided to stick with Ketil and Yitzy's Adventure in the Xura Dream House for the foreseeable future.
In the previous installment, the human spirit Ketil Nagel and his Yithian companion have arrived at the storied House of Lost Dreams in Xura. Unknown to them, they are being spied on by a pair of Cockney ghouls who came from London to visit the Xura carnival. You can read the previous installment by following this link.
The Snippet
“Nor I, but I’m curious. Who do you suppose that is with
him? Have you ever seen the like?”
“Ain’t that one of them things from beyond the stars? What
do you reckon they’re up to?”
“I don’t know, but I’ve long heard whispers about both Ketil
Nagel and this house. Are you up for an adventure, Johnny?”
“I was happy just eatin’ this tasty hunk of pie, if you must
know. But I reckon it couldn’t hurt to ask ‘em what they’re doing here.”
The laid-back ghoul followed his excitable compadre to
introduce themselves to the rangy phantom and impressive extraterrestrial who
stood before the storied Dream House.

Yet another fun snippet. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :-)
DeleteI liked the laid-back ghoul's reply. Nice snippet.
ReplyDeleteI like Little John too. I think he'd be fun to hang out with. Thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteNow I'm craving pie! And interesting cast of characters!
ReplyDeleteWriting your ghoul against ghoulish stereotypes works very well. He sounds too nice to haunt anybody, or whatever nasty stuff ghouls like to do.
ReplyDeleteI love these guys . . . or should I say ghouls.
ReplyDeleteI love these two Cockney ghouls. They are so much fun. I can imagine them perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm curious too, like your character! Enjoyed the snippet...
ReplyDeleteI'm a scaredy-cat. lol I think I'd be happy just sitting there eating a piece of pie, too! :-)But hey, adventure awaits...
ReplyDeleteI like how that pie is almost more important than an adventure.
ReplyDeleteThese ghouls are so much fun! More interested in food than what they came there to do. Great characters!
