Change Blogfest!

Today, the brilliant Elizabeth Mueller is having a blogfest, about change! This is such an awesome topic, because it can be interpreted in so many different ways and be used in so many contexts. Click here to check out the other entries!

Thanks for this, Elizabeth!

For this fest, I chose a short scene from my completed ECHOES, because so much of the story is about change. In the following scene, my protagonist Echo discovers that she has to give up her entire life as she knows it, and move across the world to replace her identical other.

Enjoy!

  3. Grah! Frustrating! : j
    So, now that her other is dead, the echo has to take her place... Does she travel alone? Do the people her other was acquainted with know that the other has been replaced with the echo? I've said this before but there are a lot fundamental aspects of this world you've created that I want to know more about. I'll just have to wait. ; j

  7. Sangu, your writing never ceases to amaze me. ;) How chilling that poor Echo experienced her Other's death, and now, to uproot her life to replace her. Great writing. As always! :)

    Thanks for participating! :D (I hope your moving has been pleasant!)

  11. Great scene! So now she has to go to the 'real world' and take Amarra's place, right? A whole different life, all the while not different at all... Very cool.

  12. Poor thing. I don't know much about the story, but I ache for her already. She seems to rely on Mina Ma. Well written. =D
