Muse/Fandom: Veronica Haile/Original Character Prompt: 4. Where are you from? Word Count: 250 Open to roleplay: Si, Here
Where am I from? It is such an easy question, and one with such a simple answer. I was born, and raised in Chicago, IL. No fancy answer. None of this, "I was born and raised in Hell." No, I was born in Chicago, and lived with my adoptive parents for 18 years. It was a difficult time for a lot of people, but we, that is my family, we were never without. In the end, after those years, I was happy to get out of there, and to explore the country.
If we talk about the latest place I'm from, that'd have to be Los Angeles, CA. I was only there for a year on official business, and I sort of liked it. I'd never want to live there though.
Or, is the answer supposed to be laced with metaphors, and symbolism? I came from the deep cosmos, and was chosen by a higher being to descend to Earth, and live life there. That just sounds stupid. Or, I'm the reincarnation of one of the forty thieves? Actually, that does sound rather believable.
Yes, I have the answer now. I am originally from nothing, and was nothing, until I was born here, and in the city of Chicago in the year of 1935. I lived there for 18 years before relocating, and traveling the country. I am most recently from California.
Right, I just can't pad this anymore without sounding like a pretentious story teller with a possible stick up their ass.
