You know what I did in middle school?
I went to the library.
Seriously, that’s mostly what I did.
At some point, in the spring of seventh grade, I also wrote this. At about 6,500 words, it was the longest piece of fiction I’d completed to date. I thought I had a novel on my hands.
Keep that in mind as you’re listening.
I was a Girl Scout, I did academic extracurriculars, I anticipated the high school drama program, but mostly I went to the library. Unless I was researching for something, it was mostly in the YA section. Imagine the 70s/80s/90s YA books that populated our YA section in the early 2000s before the library was remodeled.
Again, please keep that in mind as you listen.
This is a scary story about a sculpture with strange and deadly powers. It also deals with contemporary teens and their Issues, as seen by a kid who spent a lot of time in the YA section of the library.
Later, I might have to add some actual trigger warnings. You may want to avoid this section, though, if you’ve ever experienced Mary Sue level night terrors from a mysterious supernatural cause.
Enjoy.
(Also I just had way too much fun playing with Audacity.)
Cheers,
The Wednesday Woman
PS: Yes, I know it’s Tuesday, but my schedule’s been all flipped around and I’m adjusting.
UPDATE: It’s now Wednesday, and something is fixed in the audio. Still, enjoy.
