A Little Darker...

 

 

As I said in my introduction to the Sci Fi tab, it is often difficult to differentiate cleanly between genres. I've called this section 'A Little Darker...' deliberately, since the content here is weighted on balance towards things of a darker nature, having association with the Gothic, Horror, or Supernatural genres.

Anyway, read, enjoy, and comment through the Guestbook if you wish.

In contrast to The Cookie Tin (Sci-Fi tab), my intent with this tale was to write something that had an English feel to it. I also wanted to have a stab at writing something where people did not have regular names, but were referenced instead by who they were. Hence we have Orphan, Butler, Young Master, and so on.

Dragons' Lair is a short tale in around 5,150 words, about Orphan, a girl who is sent to work below stairs at a grand mansion. She works there for many years as she grows from childhood. Then, one day, she is instructed to serve at the masters' table...

Written circa 2002 (I think.)
