gacked from janeturenne


1. Write down the names of 10 characters.

2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less (a limitation I cheerfully ignored, although I did try to keep them short) for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. DO NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

( This would have been easier if I'd chosen characters from only one fandom )

Lonely

The best thing about living on an island and having a tutor is that you can sort of sneak schoolwork in around the edges of doing other stuff, but sometimes I miss the way it was before Mom died. You can't play the same way with grownups, even cool grownups like Race, the way you can play with other kids. These days if I meet a kid who looks nice, I have to make friends really fast and hope they like writing letters after I leave.

We’re leaving again; for India this time. I wonder if I'll find a friend.


Friend

It sounds really selfish to say that the best thing about Haji is that he's an orphan. I mean, I'm half an orphan and I don't like being reminded about it, thanks, but I guess what I mean is that Haji didn't have to ask anyone if he could come and live with me. I mean, it's not like he's not getting some good stuff out of the deal too, because he really likes schoolwork and he's already almost better than me at math. So it's a good deal all around, really.

But I wonder sometimes if he misses India.
