Before Birth
Far far away (though according to the whole complicated time-space continuum thing, also very very near), the youngest of the three fates waited. Around her in an eternal halo were the gossamer threads of creation. Most people believed she span these all by herself, and in truth maybe she did. It was hard to remember though.After the first trillion millennia the past became a bit vague. She wasn’t even sure where she herself came from. She suspected some deviant forerunner of white-anglo-saxonism - hence the eternal work ethic. It could just as easily have been a rogue Salamander from the pink ponds of Vermouthia.
The present however, was constantly interesting. Sentient and self-aware, young Clotho The Maker was asquirm with sensation. And she had an idea.
While browsing through the pages of contemporary earth blogs, Clotho had d
iscovered a poem. The poem was about a thread. The injunction at the nub of the matter was to follow ones own. Like a camera lens stuck on wide, there was suddenly a sustained burst of illumination. Not godlike, but more of a laser beam. It struck Clotho in her fourth eye. With it came a realisation.
Of all the skeins of life-silk now shot through the pluriverse, not one of them was her own. She listened to her womb and knew. It was time to create herself.
After Birth
Dust motes floated past. Clotho could feel the prick and rasp of the rusty dumpster lid beneath her bare thighs. A few fetid odours mingled nearby and then dispersed. Born for the first time, confusion sparred with delight. It seemed as if many deep truths were absent here, and yet….the dimension of body now flooded into everything. She swung her legs to and fro, testing.
Before long another body appeared. Shaping the cyberspace beside her with something unfamiliar yet longed for. The shape was almost human. And so it began…
CLOTHO IN THE WORLD 1
CLOTHO AND THE KISS
AY: Hey you ... are you not a little worried being in a dark alley on your own ?
Clotho : hmmm...
AY looks Clo over .. from Top to Bottom and LIKES what he sees !
Clotho looks around and sees the tall stranger nearby
Clotho : should i be worried?
AY: Worried .. No .. .afraid ... ohhh yes .. VERY afraid !!!!!
Clotho blinks innocently
Clotho : afraid?
Clotho : afraid of?
AY: Hmmm .. there are bad people in these alleys .. you need someone to look after you ... you need me !
AY edges closer to Clo .. bit by bit .. until he is within grabbing distance !
Clotho : how do i know that YOU are not one of the bad ppls?
Clotho is obviously blonde
AY: Cos I am nice ... and I could be even nicer ... if you gave me a kiss !!!
Clotho : ohh..a kiss!
Clotho blushes prettily
Clotho : that sounds ...romantic :)
AY: Ahhh ... what harm is there is an innocent kiss ?
Clotho : well my mother did warn me about kissing strange men
Clotho : i dont know why..do you?
AY: That is all the other men .. I am not strange at all !!!
AY: I am normal ... they are all strange !
Clotho looks more closely at AY
AY rests his hand on Clo’s knee
Clotho : ohhhh
AY: And I could be a VERY good friend to you !!!
Clotho feels a strange shiver run through her
Clotho : you have a very large hand
Clotho : and my mother also said..
Clotho : i could never have too many friends
AY lets his hand slowly move up to Clo's thigh .
Clotho feels AY sidle closer and is unsure what to do next
AY uses his other hand to catch Clo by the wrist so stopping her from running away
Clotho gasps lightly
AY: Now .. about that kiss ... I want it NOW !
(to be continued ... )



This is an unusual style of writing. More like a script. What made you choose it? At first i found it hard to follow but now I quite like it. More?
ReplyDeleteThe interactive part of the story ie "Clotho and the Kiss" is raw dialogue from a Second Life roleplay. The rest is me playing about with new things. Thank you for commenting. There will be more.
