Notes Part Two
Page 19. Happily Ever After. This poem deals with Father and lover. Father talks of ancient curse. Kills daughter’s lover.
Page 21. What is a sneaker to do? I’m not sure why this poem is in here.
Page 23. Suicide note. No explanation needed.
Page 24 Russian Roulette. Father’s 45 Jams. He decides to go to bed.
Page 25. Sleep. Father has nightmare.
Page 27. Cry of an Adrenaline Junkie. I’m not sure why this poem is in here.
Pages 28-33. Father, who had awakened after first nightmare, falls back to sleep. He dreams of death, Crow and the fate that befell his daughter. Amidst these dreams, his daughter comes to him and tells him to flee, for Crow seeks his head for his failure in completing the curse (he found he couldn’t cut her body into pieces).
The few remaining poems lead off into various lines of thought. A few may be used- a few discarded. From here know this- Father joins a group of like- minded individuals, and flees through the cave that he had sacrificed his daughter in. They end up in the cave of the damned. He is one of the few who was in the search party that went out to find help. They arrived too late. None of this will be mentioned in this manuscript, except that he flees with others through the cave.
As for the Wizard brothers, the white wizard, who has already embraced his powers, raises his brother from the dead by having him trade places with the family dog, a golden retriever mix (hey it’s a work in progress… the brother is very loyal). From there they flee. They end up rescuing Tinnese, and entering the Path of the Way. The Black wizard has recovered from his recent spout of Canine-ides and finds that he now possesses the ability to shape shift. Again, none of this will not be mentioned in this manuscript. Only the part of being turned into a golden retriever. I might even throw in a few barks and fetching for good measure (who can resist the temptation of a well- thrown stick).
Well, that about does it for this week. One thing to note for future blogs: This is the one and only time that I’ll include my notes. Such things are of a private nature (like a painter showing his rough drafts), and were never meant to be seen by the public eye. Next week, I’ll show the outline for the first stage.
Sincerely,
Richard M Polk
