Hey guys! I am a film student (and therefore a pretentious idiot) and like to write... things?
I shall post some in this thread, and maybe we can talk about what's good/awful about it afterwards!
Let's have fun!
"Character by Association"
April 26, 1867
Dearest Mother and Father,
All has been well at the University following the incident I alluded to in my last letter. By now I am quite sure that the telegraphs and rumors have spread their accounts, but I am writing to assure you that no human life has been lost during the upheaval, although some have gone missing. I would not trust the words you hear, Mother and Father, for we are not entirely quite sure what transpired here ourselves.
What we are aware of is that Professor Brundlewine, sometime during the early hours of Wednesday, April the 3rd, released the entire contents of a decanter filled with a noxious fume that was acquired during a recent expedition to the Grecian Peninsula. When it was released, the gas became an odious vapour that filled the entire southern wing of the St. George Apocrathary. As a result of this, an enormous flock of owls appeared on their own accord and scattered the tiny bones of vermin all across the courtyard. How the Aviary beasts managed to find the amount of rodents needed to perform such a feat is beyond my grasps, but preliminary analyses have made notice of a number of tiny holes that percolate the calcium exterior of the bones.
It would please you, Father, to hear that Professor Bundlewine has since faced expulsion from the community and is now in the possession of Scotland Yards S.I.S. One Division. I have never heard of such a people, but I have been told that they are very thorough. They managed to declare the Professor as being mentally unstable, as he made repeated attempts to convince them that he had opened the bottle because it instructed him to. Professor Edmontaine managed to reseal the decanter in question approximately twelve minutes after it had been opened and he observed that the pressured emerald gas appeared to either be self-replicating, or to be an endless supply contained within the object. He has since disappeared and has been missing since Friday, the Twelfth of April.
Dear Mother, for the next few paragraphs you may want to avert your eyes. After a span of three days after the disappearance of Professor Edmontaine, the birds returned and the community began to experience an uproar of sightings of what has been described as a monsterous owl person that appears to be holding some sort of box camera. This device expels a light from its lens that creates the illusion of being able to see the past state of whatever the illumination touches. An example of this would be that when the light supposedly came upon an old woman who was sitting on the stairs leading to her dwelling, it appeared that she became an infant that was positioned amongst a few trees and woodland plants.
I do not believe in such nonsense, but Scholar Maitland gave me his word that he witnessed the abomination as it flew over his study. Enclosed in this letter is the copy of an engraving he made of the fantastic beast. I assure you that the wings upon the creatures legs are entirely accurate, from what I have been told. There has been talk that Scotland Yard may be cordoning off the University shortly. Please be patient with me, for I do not know when I shall be able to write again. Do your best to keep Mother and the family safe from harm, as I do not know how far the flock might spread.
All my Love,
