Aoede

I fear this may be an extremely short post.  I'm waiting for a raid to fill up and... I honestly don't feel that creative right now.  BUT!  It's Wed and I much write something.  I will not give up my schedule so soon.

Jane switched the phone to her other ear, chewing on a hangnail on her thumb.  "I don't know what it is, Rhea.  She claims she's some sort of ancient Greek goddess of inspiration!  I know, it sounds laughable.  But since I talked to her, I've kinda felt like writing.  So I don't really know what to think."

"Whatever it is, it sounds like something good.  I wouldn't worry about it.  I mean, it can't hurt to just go with the flow, right?"  Rhea's voice was made slightly tinny by the phone.

"I guess you're right.  Hey, you wanna come over and hang out for a bit?  We haven't seen each other in a while.  Maybe you can help me flesh out this song and write some music for it.  I've always appreciated your input."

"Um... yeah, sure.  I've got a few hours free.  I'll be right over. See ya soon."  The line went dead as Rhea hung up.  Smiling, Jane closed her cell and tucked it into her pocket.  It had been a day since she wrote the refrain and second verse.  She still felt like writing, but didn't want to rush it.  Go with the flow, but don't put out crap, she supposed.

Aoede stared at the ceiling of her room.  It was painted a midnight blue, complimenting the colors on the walls.  As she stared, in her imagination, stars and galaxies whirled across the expanse of her ceiling.  The dance of the cosmos was something she missed keenly, but there was always a world of things to explore on Earth.  Sitting up, she reached for the brush on her bedside stand, ran it through her hair, and tied it back in a tail.  With the thick locks pulled off her face, her striking features were more clear.  And those features looked pensive at the moment.

Where are you... why did you stop coming?... Thanks for... Something to write... Haven't in so long...


Snippets of thoughts, directed at her or about her flooded her mind.  All people she looked over.  She couldn't visit all of them all the time, but she did her best.



Eh, a shitty place to end it, but see beginning of post.
