Part 1 – Prologue to a lifelong fantasy Anna was nine years old when her fantasies began to take shape.  She found her first fantasy one night while at her best friend, Libbie’s house having a sleepover.  Libbie’s father had rented the girls a movie.  It was an adventure film about explorers in the jungle.  Anna greatly liked this theme.  She and Libbie shared the jungle as a favorite theme of their pretend games that they would play.  As the movie went on, one of the protagonists, a young adult woman, fell into quicksand and began to sink.  She was taken up to her neck before she was rescued by her accomplice, another youn

 After escaping the plant, the gang regrouped and planned.  They all decided to continue on their trek.  It was only 1 o’clock.  It was summertime as well, so the sun wouldn’t go down until around 9.  They all got in the Ranger and started off again.  The trails started to get rough.  They had to move slower.  After about an hour, and perhaps a thousand wrong turns, they had made it about 1 mile closer to the mud volcano.  They had found a good trail.  It almost looked like a road.  It was wide and relatively smooth.  About half a mile later, they came upon what looked like some sort of outpost.  “Let’s stop here.”  S

Carrie and Kaa Part 6 Carrie awoke the next morning when her alarm went off.  She had it programmed to the local rock station.  They were playing “Beautiful Day” by U2.  It was the end of the song.  “Good morning!”  She heard the radio man say.  “Thank you, Bono, it IS a beautiful day out there today!  It’s half past eight on this Wednesday morning!  Traffic conditions are light, if you are looking to go anywhere.  Sunny skies are the order of the day with some possible rainfall later on tonight.” Carrie pressed the

So I have decided on which idea to use for the fifth installment of the Carrie and Kaa series.  I have actually decided to use a few.  Please understand that even though there were no bad ideas, only a few made the cut. Onward! All three awoke the next morning.  All felt refreshed from a good night’s sleep.  All felt recovered from yesterday’s play.  Carrie stretched and climbed out of Kaa’s coils.  “Time to get up, everybody!” She exclaimed. Hannah rolled over in the coils.  “Five more minutes…” she grumbled. Carrie decided now was a good time to go get ready for the day.  She climbed up the sta

Carrie and Kaa Part 5 PROLOGUE Guys, I’m going to need ideas.  I have (sob) Writer’s Block! The doctor says he can’t prescribe me anything for it.  All he says is that I will have to undergo group therapy (in this situation, we like to call it FEEDBACK). In short, I NEED YOUR HELP.  I have to figure out what the trio will do today.  Please give me your ideas in a comment form, or note, it doesn’t matter to me.  Be creative!  The possibilities are endless.  We can invite more people, get rid of some, use quicksand, use another snake, just about anything.  Not every idea will get used, but none (within obvious boundaries)

Hannah thought the ground would be solid.  When she landed, she felt how soft it actually was.  It felt like jumping on to a waterbed.  She lost her balance and fell flat on her back.  “Are you all right?” “Yeah, I’m fine.” Said Hannah.  But she wasn’t fine.  She looked down at her legs.  They were stuck in the mud up to her shins.  She stood up, which made her sink to her knees, and tried to pull her legs out.  This only made her sink faster.  Before she knew it, she was up to her hips in this muck. Carrie came back over the hill after doing some surveillance.  She looked down at Hannah.  She saw Hannah’s

Carrie awoke in Kaa’s coils.  He was wrapped extra tight.  She didn’t know why.  She squirmed in his coils.  He didn’t budge.  She picked her head up and started to look around.  “Kaa,” she said, “It’s time to get up.”  She heard Kaa yawn.  As he yawned, his coils squeezed slightly.  He then moved his head right in front of Carrie’s.  “How did you sssleep?” He asked. “Fine.” She replied.  “And you?” “Well,” Kaa started, “I ssstayed up for a bit.  I keep thinking about thisss concccept that you humansss call friendssship.  When two humansss are friendss

Carrie awoke inside of Kaa's coils.  She had no idea what time it was.  She felt disoriented.  She looked around.  Where was she?  She swiveled her head in all directions. "Good Lord,” she thought to herself.  "I slept like a rock.  I wonder where I am..."  She looked around.  "Ah!  I'm in my room, on the floor."  She looked at the window.  "It must be late morning."  She then looked at the massive pile of coils in which she was wrapped from neck to ankles.  Kaa had formed a sleeping bag for her.  He had even used his neck as a pillow for her.  She was quite comfortable, but ready to get up.  "Kaa,” She said,  "Time to get up." Ka

"Honey, we're leaving now.  Aunt Brenda will be in to check on you every night at 9.  You're going to be a good girl, right?"  Carrie's mom said. "Of course, mom."  replied Carrie. Carrie was only 12 the first time her parents left her alone at the house.  She was excited to have the house to herself.  "And remember, no going to the river unless you call Uncle Drew and have him go with you."  her mom added. "Fine, goodbe mom."  she said. "Goodbye, sweetheart."  her mom said as she blew a kiss. Finally, Carrie was all alone.  She could do w
