Sometimes our lives feel as if we are simply adrift in an endless expanse with no sense of direction. Other times events may happen to lead us onto a certain clearer path. However somewhere in the middle we may find ourselves guided in such a way that we leave behind an impresssion that may influence others to follow as you take them through the fog....

Footprints In The Fog

Below is a small sample of the next chapter, as since it has been closing onto a year since the first chapter was posted, I kinda wanted to stick my toes into the water and see if there was even any interest or even a touch of encouragement. As some may know me from my website, I appear to be more creative in that fashion as opposed to writing my own fiction, however I still have these confounded bits of muse rattling around in my head that decide to get more energetic from time to time and I would like to really develop the discipline and drive to put it all down in prose for others to see. So anywho, here is a snippet of the muse in my head and any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Chapter 2 - Mirrors and Smoke (Incomplete)

[Spellfire]: O.O How much gold?! I can't believe u did that!
[Elspeth]: What?! >.>
[Spellfire]: Come on! You can't tell me u just stood on top of the mailbox in town dancing with nothing on and they actually gave you gold for it!
[Elspeth]: What's ur deal?! Jealous? :D
[Spellfire]: NO!
[Elspeth]: idk y u don't try it. Pfft! Guys practically throw gold at ya if ya just show a little skin. Besides, it's just pixels.
[Spellfire]: I..I.. I'm not that kinda girl!
[Elspeth]: ROFLMAO!
[Spellfire]: Look, just becuz im playing a female toon doesn't mean I have to act like a pixel slut! Besides u know the only reason I chose a female healer is cuz if im gonna be looking at someone's butt for hours at a time, I don't wanna be looking at no guys hairy arse!

****************************************

Barely glancing at the LED of the clock' showing it was only a few short hours until I had to actually wake up for school, I stumble into bed not even bothering to take off my clothes.

*OMG! Who needs real life friends, when I have such wonderful online friends who love me?!*

I pass out a few minutes later with images of fighting ugly plague ravaged ogres who oddly seem to have the faces of my teachers......
