Notes: sorry about grammar, would you believe it though if I said that the very reason there's bad grammar is the same reason I feel I probably shouldn't get a beta-reader? I so don't have enough hours in the day. As for this chapter, I'd like to say I did tell you it was going to jump around…
Sweet Elbereth, if only times could go back to those days. I realized long ago, that the Valor does not give everyone an equal start. I did not know of any other parents like my own. Now I do, but I realize they are still a rarity, and a bad one at that. But of course there is always worse, there are poor on the streets of Minis Tirith. I could have been born to that instead. Now I sit here recounting, writing my tale. But for who? I have already said things that could be considered treasonous. But I suppose everyone needs a comfort before they die, eh? A need to let out the flood gates, simply remember feelings, their sarcasm, humor, grief, love, hate and despair. If that's the case I better continue writing quickly, who knows how long I've left to live. Once where there was smooth skin, now wrinkles are. Once when my posture was perfect, to please my parents, now my back crouches over with age. I feel tired. Worn. I wonder now if this is what my grandfather felt before he died. He was the only one who ever understood me, now his face is blurred, though and I can barely remember the way his eyes used to crinkle with laughter. But he never smiled, nor laughed out right. I suppose I am older now than the age he was when he died. So very, very old…
Nptes1: This is supposed to be a story in which she is recounting her past. So every once in a while it will skip a couple years and then go back, or like in this chapter, it will be her talking present day. I hope this doesn't get really confusing. By the way does none know the band "evanescence"? They're song "Taking Over Me" is stuck in my head, which tells you just how crazy I am now.
Notes2: extremely short chapter, I know you're all going to kill me, but I'm so very sleepy, and I have miles to go before I sleep…okay enough with the creepy talk. Wait. Who is "everyone". I'm laughing my head off now, I'm so tired. But like I said there's a huge test Mon. so I plan on studying. May as well grab a coke, and start on the next chapter next study break. (I promise next chapter will definitely be much longer).
