SETTING Funny thing, one of the themes is the title to the first chapter of one of my fanfictions awaiting release...so I just had to give out a taste of it. Here we start with Riku as a kid at school.
A small, white haired boy sat on top of a slide, observing numerous other children scampering around the playground. Some were playing tag, others were passing balls back and forth. Every face had a smile, except one. The boy on top of the slide sat with a blank expression as he watched the merriment of his peers.
Occasionally some of the kids would try to use the slide, but the boy on top of the slide would not budge. This was his lonely perch. The fence around the schoolyard was high, but the slide higher still. High enough to disregard.
AN: First paragraph and then a little more description to fill the 100 words
Can I break into song yet? The Carpenters sing: "I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation..." I'm feeling "thought-revealing" now so for those of you reading my 100 snippits/drabbles/whatever I'll give you a bonus about when the story comes out. Every chapter of this story is a title to a song! Now there's a meaning for each one, and in this instance it's kind of forshadowing since Riku is not exactly a happy kid at this point of the story. "Something in the wind has learned my name And it's tellin' me that things are not the same..." And note, in the story, the love is a friendship love!
I wonder if other readers will note the significance and connection with all the titles, but hey, at least you now have a heads up! ^.~
