Victor was an ill mannered man of staggering genius. A lean shadowy giant with long wiry fingers dressed in elegant rags. He lived in a dark neglected manor, avoiding all. Shoes creaked the floor boards as he walked the halls. Remnants of a painful beautiful past. Doll creations from a conveyor belt that he fashion from the steel of an abandoned factory. No matter what her face forever appearing in the porcelain.
wow!!
ReplyDeleteyou really created a mood, here! great one! and the title, perfect...
Thank you Zoe, I really had to shave it down. I think when I have time I'll elaborate on this character I wanted to keep writing about him.
ReplyDeleteyou really did it, though--it feels complete! but he's definitely a character worth spending more time with. i hope to see more of him soon!
ReplyDeleteIt is really amazing how much you said with 72 words, I like the description of the sounds, materials...you give always something magical Diane.
ReplyDeleteThanks again Zoe :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Vesna, I took the picture first hoping something would come to me, I was stumped :) I appreciate your encouragement...hugs
Suggestive atmosphere, Diane!..and misterious character that man walking in the ancient but abandoned manor. Whose is the face of the doll?? And what is he going to do in that house? Great prompt,Diane you ought to continue it. :)

Woow nice. Poor sadowy Victor. I love it. Creating dolls ad her face for ever appearing in the porcelain. :)
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot.
But these so short stories, normally make me think they are not concluded. I mean, I'd like it to be at least a couple of sentences longer. Just two sentences. It looks like in two more sentences many other things could happen, and I'd loved to know a bit more about Victor.
:) Thanks.
I hope I'll have time to revisit Victor.
ReplyDeleteThank you both!!
