Editor needed...

Submitted by on

Hey all, I'm still working on System, but I've found myself distracted lately. I've also been working on my "real life" story, but wound up scrapping most of it and starting over. After working on these stories (and other scrapped stories) alone, I've realized that I could really use some editing and creativity help (especially for the real life story). If you're interested, please message me

That's How The System Works
Chapters 10-11
by Danielle Rose

 

“Girls, there’s somebody in the office here to see you,” she said.

After dropping our backpacks in our room, Kim and I walked up to the office doorway. Sitting in a chair to the side of the staff desk was an older man, probably in his fifties, wearing a gray suit. He was a tall, balding man. Steve was sitting behind the desk and waved us in.

“Girls, I’d like you to meet David Marcus.”

Looking at David, I asked “The same David that wrote me the letter?”

“Yes, Miss Rose,” he replied. “It’s nice to finally meet you.”

The future of That's How the System Works

Submitted by on

Hi all, I wanted to start off by saying I'm sorry to everyone who expected to see more That's How the System Works last year. I wanted to let everyone know what I have been up to regarding my writing. One of the problems I have encountered often as I write the story is that new ideas often pop into my head, ones I want to incorporate into the story, but may not always mesh properly with the existing cannon of the story.

Chapters 8-9

One of the girls, a Native American, walked past our room. A couple moments letter, she walked back and looked in our room.

“Hello. Who are you?” she asked. Her voice was the second voice I had heard when the girls entered the house.

I pointed at my chest. “I’m Amber. That’s Kim.”

Kimmy waved her hand. “Hi. We’re new here.”

“Yeah, I kind of figured that one out,” said the girl with a giggle. “I’m Jessica. My friends call me Jessie for short.”

“Nice to meet you,” I said. Kim simply nodded in agreement.

“Likewise,” said Jessica. “So, when did you two get here?”

“What I’m about to tell you cannot leave this room,” I said.

“You have my word,” replied Kim.

“I’m not sure how it happened. One night, I’m sitting in a police station after being taken from my grandfather’s house by the police, and the next thing I know, I’m not who I used to be,” I said.

"What do you mean by not who you used to be?"

"I haven't always been Amber. That night I came to Orangewood was my first night being Amber," I said.

"Who were you before?"

"I was somebody else. Somebody who didn't know the first thing about being a girl."

“If you’re going to sit there and tell me you used to be a boy, I’m going to hurl this book at you.” Kim said, with a look of amusement while picking up the novel I had been reading.

Pulling my knees up to my chest and putting my arms up in a defensive posture, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes tight. “I used to be a boy.”

“Amber, I work with David and Officer Samuels.”

My mouth dropped wide open. “You know about me?”

“Yes, Amber. Officer Samuels came to the cottage and told me while you were getting your medical exam. Like David told you in the letter, we didn’t expect you to be here. Or that you would become trapped in Amber’s body. I can’t go into many details, but I was placed here to help those who were somehow left behind. Not all the girls who come through here are like you, but there have been a few.”

You should always tell the truth.

 

This is a very short entry. I have wanted to work on this story for sometime, but life has a penchant for getting in the way. Now that I'm ready to work on this story again, I wanted to post this chapter and get a feel from the readers if I'm going in the right direction before I start writing more chapters. One of two things can happen. I can continue in this direction and expand on Amber's connection to the still nameless Society and why she's so important to them, or I can make it to where Amber will never have gotten the letter, and she would be in the dark about her true purpose and the events that led her to becoming a 17 year old girl.

You should always tell the truth.

 

I Began writing this story back in 2006 and posted it on Ficitonmania. Life got in the way of completing the story, so I decided to leave it as a single story. I'm really considering reviving this series (this is NOT the story I was alluding to in my last blog). If you think I should continue this series, please leave a comment saying as much.
