"Some things never change around here." Simi
poked around trying to fish out the harried souls.
The souls in question seeking solace from
the stern elders, often alone or in groups of two and three by the lake.
'Sharing secrets inside the mansion walls was
both embarrassing and dangerous' opined the teenagers.
This bunch was not smarter than the ones in
the preceding years but used a different system of disguises. Hard to know if
the portly, middle aged man she detected was indeed Shammi Uncle.
'Offending a senior member of the household meant
hanging off a cliff like... Ria...
what the hell was that?'
For Saturday Centus at Jenny Matlock's blog...any genre, P.G as far as possible, not to exceed 100 plus the prompt in bold. Based on the literary device of a cliffhanger...that is, the second part next week will complete the story.. Check the others hanging ons there.

Terrific photo to go along with your story, Rek! What an exciting start! I don't want to wait until next week, so could you give me a sneak peek? Nah, I didn't think so!!

This sounds like the beginning of an intriguing story! Is it some kind of sect living in this mansion?

Intriguing snippet, Rek. Hanging off the cliff for the offense? I have to find out what that could be.
This is so eerie and imaginative. Plus that photo is awfully creepy.
Nicely done!

I loved your comment about Angela Davis and communism on Pat's blog.
wow ... that was beyond good ... i can't wait till Saturday to read more.
Lovely writing and I am so drawn to the pictures on this blog!
Hi Rek, first time visitor. Great to meet you. I don't trust what's on the other end of that hand. Maybe there's nothing. Just a hand. Kinda like Thing from Addams Family, only scary.
Your site is such a visual wonderland and I love your words.
Oooh, complicated and suspense filled. I love your illustration...it perfectly captured the feeling of this writing. Can't wait to see where you took this.

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D
Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
