WEEK 5

WEEK FIVE
21 Vacationers


The weekend sure was something, wasn't it? Tempers flared, explosions burst, and some were treated to an immersive sand bath experience. Come Monday at least, things seem quieter though not in the unnatural still way—the distortions on the islands have receded sometime in the night (with some impressive firework-like booms that may have stirred your sleep, at that; and the waves seem a little higher this morning) and the various amenities on the island have been made orderly again. Though, as always, some traces remain in the landscape; the waterfall looks like it has seen better days, though it's no longer in danger of coughing up debris on your head if looked at wrong.

This week like the rest brings new locations for you to explore, on Kakapo's Nest though it seems like only one of them really fits the vacation vibe. Hope you like snow!

That's why I had to specify 'lengthy'! The short ones really tend to blend together after a while...

But when the author gives the story and characters a lot of space to develop, maybe throwing in some intrigue outside of the romance as well, then I can get immersed.

How do you keep your attention on them long enough to get to the bits that interest you? Oh, I'm sure I'd throw the book against the wall before long lol

Is the love in those stories the kind of love you want for yourself?

I read outdoors, so the nice breeze is reason enough to sit still for a while.

[ Maybe the books are entirely secondary, actually... ]

And it's certainly what I wanted when I was younger. Life doesn't follow the same narrative structures. Sometimes there is something twisted that may not ever be resolved, and that's alright too.
