Paula

Paula and company started it all pretty much. A girl finds out some news that will absolutely turn her world over, and she'll have to get to know her new world and the people in it.


Time line - Three years ago (Same as Killer-- so Michael and Edith are 14 and 16 respectively here)



About this story:

This snipet of story did not go where I expected it to. I warn you that now.

The original project was called "Study of Me" because Paula learns some things about her own family that has her question herself and everything she'd always believed. Ironically, her "Study of Me" was more of a study of those around her. This story has managed to remain true to that at least. But it's become a completely different beast from the one it was when I used to just play write.

Edith and Michael

I must admit that it is a little nerve wracking to put this out there! Michael as a character has been in existence since probably about 1996. Mostly, he appeared in the background of a lot of stories I'd write for myself.

I've completely reworked this story, and things have actually fallen into place. In order to organize this story, I am using quotes from Sun Tzu's The Art of War which can be downloaded from here for the curious.

This story is set in the Wildlands.
