Six Sentence Sunday
It's been a while, hasn't it? I know I've been tagged many times, by many people, over the last month or so, and I sincerely appreciate every one of you. I love to see what everyone is working on, and even though I haven't had the spoons to respond to everything, I'm so very grateful to be a part of this community we have.
I finally managed to get chapter 4 of Take a Walk on the Wild Slice (aka my Pizza!Simon CORB fic) up. I've been struggling with chapter 5 though, and it's felt like dragging myself through mud.
To be honest life in general feels a bit like that at the moment, so they're probably related.
Anyway, I do have a little bit of Penny POV for you today. I've never written her before, so I hope I've managed to do her justice.
I have to say, the last person I expect to get a phone call from in the summer holidays is Agatha. I know she likes to try and forget about school, and magic, and everything that goes along with it, and just have a normal life. I’ve never understood it. This summer, however, I’ve been wishing I could just forget about it. Just for a bit. Mum used some sleep spells on me for the first few days because I was having terrible nightmares, but then said that it was dangerous to keep relying on them. I’m not getting them as often now, but I just wish I could check on Simon. I don’t dare bring up trying to find him to Mum again, because she would just get that look on her face. The one that leads to Dad forcing her into a chair with a large whisky to stop her ranting about the Mage. So even though I think that Agatha is the last person who is likely to have any news of Simon, I still pick up the phone after the first ring. I’m desperate for anything that isn’t listening to my younger siblings’ terrible taste in tv shows inadequately drowning out my spiralling thoughts. I’ll even subject myself to a horse show, or (I shudder at the thought), a spa day.
Circe forbid one might have to be pampered. Perhaps you could take your mum along, sounds like she might need to unwind as well, Pen.
Sending relaxing and soothing vibes out to you all as we navigate the Monday of the year. (January. January is like a whole month of Monday)
