Shadows in the Rain
"And that was the moment I decided some lessons were better taught with fists rather than words."
That was today's prompt along with the assignment to write a first-person narrative. While I won't say this is the most in-depth, first-person narrative I could do, the prompt made me consider some different ideas than the ones I wanted to start off with. So, this became a Rose story.
Rose is one of my characters in the World of Warcraft. She's a rogue, and like many rogues, she has her talents. John and I had been speaking of a way to get Kazio and Rose to meet up with one another (Kazio being one of John's rogue characters), and we'd decided they were probably both in Darkshire. But that was as far as we'd gotten with it.
At least, that is, until today.
I realize now that I'm done that I forgot to mention some details that, if I were going to edit this further, I'd probably edit in--like how Kazio should be rain-soaked, for instance, or the sound the rain made on the roof, walls, and windows of the inn. But those are little things that only add to the narrative. Still, I think they could have added some nuance to the story, and they're something I'll keep in mind for my future writing--and editing.
That said, I hope you enjoy day one of my writing challenge and "Shadows in the Rain".
