It's Been A While

GM friends. It's been a while, hasn't it? Hope you're all doing well & feeling fine. I've been so distracted by the craziness of the world that I lost my way & I'm trying to get back into the mindset of writing again. It's early. #Coffee time and worked a bit on an old snippet from my book series below. Have a wonderful day.

Behind Knoxby’s shack, a one-eyed porcelain baby doll with a cracked face & matted brown hair danced with a brown mouse. The doll's white dressing gown & the mouse's fur swayed in the breeze. The music came from the human woman sitting underneath a bush with her knees up to her chest.
“Little gibbering mouse, what do you say? The old man has gone far, far away,” sang Alice, wrapping her arms around herself. She stared out across the lush green hills of Merrihaven toward The Downs.
The brown mouse answered with a squeak & a pirouette. The doll clapped furiously at such a fine display of artistry. It's tiny hands making a clink, clink, clink sound.
Alice rested her head on her knees and rocked back and forth. "Are the others safe?"
“No, said the gibbering mouse. “Beware, little boys. He will be back. And the witch he will bring up through the crack.”
