Behind the Scalpel

Quick update. I'm still feeling sick, but I wanted to tell you about a new update. Instead of being called Behind the Needle, I had some help in deciding to call it Behind the Scalpel. I think this one will be mostly her going in and out of a metal hospital or just a hospital, hence Behind the Scalpel. It was going to be named Behind the Needle because it was GOING to be about Avery Carter, Heather's creator, but I changed it to a sequel instead of a prequel. I think I may have mentioned that already. . .

Did You Know?

I was looking at the title of Saved by the Bell? and I remembered that some people might not even get it! See, back in the old days(along with the head thing:)) it was hard to tell if some people are dead or not(I'm gonna be going into this a lot more when I do a little blurb about death. I saw this National Geographic thing about it, and I'm going to dumb it down and see if I can find about anything they didn't mention:) It was called National Geographic the Mystery of Death), so they would either bury them or leave them in a morgue type hospital, where they will rest until we're sure they're dead or not. If they were alive man created a device that would tell you that they are alive. Before the bodies are buried they would tie some string around the bodies finger and at the end of the string is a bell. So, if they are still alive they would ring the bell and someone would be there to dig them out. Hence, "Saved by the bell." There is another saying about it, but it's not a joyful. You may or may not of heard it, but it is, "Dead as a ringer." I hope that you know what THAT means, but I'll spell it out for you anyways. "Dead as a ringer," as in they aren't alive and, well, they just have a bell tied around their finger. I didn't want to ruin the Mystery of Death thing, but I'm going to add just a little more to it. Sometimes there was a false alarm because while the body was decaying the bones would shift and if the finger moved the bell would ring. I just thought you ought to know that, just in case you didn't get the title of it. Come back later in the week to see another Hall of Horror entry!

Crow and Owl

I've been looking at all the books I've written, and I realized that I missed something. Or TWO somethings! O.o Crow and Owl are two short stories that I wrote and they are kind of the beginning of a series of short stories that I might write, where the BAD GUY always wins. In Crow, Megan and her sister Miranda are camping to kind of take a break from the outside world and get to know each other again. Miranda decides that they need more firewood, so she leaves Megan at camp telling her to go for help if she wasn't back soon. Miranda is gone long enough for Megan to worry, so she goes out to look for help. Megan tries her best to get to the town that wasn't so far away. She starts trying to find the road, but she's lost and she notices that while she's running through the forest trying to find help that someone is watching her. I'm leaving that one and that, and here is the link on teenink:

Owl is the second short story in "The Bad Guy Always Wins" saga, and it focuses on Miranda. Miranda gets lost while looking for firewood, and when she realizes that the sun has gone down and Megan is probably freaking out, she tried to find her way back. She wasn't as lost as she thought she was, and she found the camp quickly. When she gets back to the camp, it's in ruins and Megan can't be found. Miranda manages to find Megan's footprints and she follows them, hoping to run into Megan. She soon realizes that SHE is being followed too, but at least SHE gets to see her attacker. Megan never saw it coming till the end. Neither Megan or Miranda make it out of the forest, and the forest once again wins! Here is the link on teenink for this short story:

So far there are only two short stories, because these aren't on the top of my list. In fact, they are at the bottom. I have so much more on my plate of stories that I'm working on, so this might not really be looked at again for a while. But I'm proud of these babies:)
