Who: Ariel and Nemo What: Ariel dreams about selling her voice When: (Forward Dated to...) Friday Morning Where: Nemo's Home Status: In Progress Rating: TBD...
Typically, Ariel woke without a sound, and not only because she was incapable of speech. She would opened her eyes slowly and pull the air into her lungs like her first curious breath after a lifetime underwater. She would smile quietly to herself, while one reality faded into another and her brain regained balance.
But on this morning, she pulled in breath so sharply that it made a sound very much like screaming. Her hands flew upward wildly. And as they struggled to swim in the air, she slapped the wall behind the bed haphazardly. Her legs were overwhelmed by a stabbing pain.
All she could think was Why? How? How could see have done it?
