It's completely based on her ideas, thoughts, and broken heart. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1386591/ This is just a story I wrote based on a dream that I had about a dream that someone else had. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1381981/ a sister's account of her brother's night http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1351171/ This is just a little, two-sentence thing that I wrote for a contest. If you're one of those easily offended people, please don't read this. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1334405/ This is just a short senryu I wrote about five minutes ago sitting in my free period. It's nothing special. It just popped into my head. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1255116/ I'm currently working on Chapter 4, and I'm sorry that it's taking so long. However, with the low amounts of reads this book is getting, I'm contemplating not putting the rest of it up. I'd like to know how many of you are reading and how many of you want it to continue. Thank you. ~SaerdesRae http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1254985/ The group gets down to business while Eglandyr cuts Viper's hair. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1243912/ Eglandyr has agreed to work with Viper, but now she and her friends must gain his trust completely. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1242696/ After months of tracking him, Viper finally brings Eglandyr in to her boss. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1239850/ In a world we never believed could exist, Viper works for a criminal organization, headed by Aran, but everything changes for her when a human, Eglandyr, arrives and starts working for her. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1239849/ Year:  2617 I shouldn't have been surprised in the world we live in. It shouldn't have scared me so much, either. Wraiths hang out above my house and spend their nights on the street. The dead wander around, interacting with the living. The thing is, I'd never seen a ghost hurt someone before... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1231998/ This is just a poem that I put together for a project in my American Literature class. I re-wrote the sixth chapter of Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck as a poem. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1178805/ A poem that is... just a simple valediction... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1174333/ Just a Haiku I wrote when I was 13-ish... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/LaughingShadows/1172730/
