Um.. I'm thinking about writing a second story like this. It would be another Starla based story, maybe not necessarily nightmare-y or shadow-y but kind of like a Starla mini-series. A few snippets..
Starla ran through the grass, pouncing on every dandelion she saw. As little clouds of seeds from the dandelions spread through the air, she sneezed. Ktanaqui grinned, watching her small Eevee and jogged to catch up....
Starla stopped dead, shortly before the dark forest. It loomed over her, casting shadows every which way. She stepped into the border and was immediately swathed in the shadows that the trees cast. From the outside, she would look merely like another shadow, dancing back and forth as the wind blew through the leaves of the trees.
Around her, the wind blew. Leaves danced and swirled as it passed. Ktanaqui stood nearby, watching the small Eevee and the winds and leaves. A song crossed her mind, from a movie she watched once. Colors of the Wind, from Pocahontas. Starla had lain there and watched the entire movie with her. Now, she was living it.
OK, so should I do more? Should I make full stories of these snippets, or what?
