I've got an idea for a horror short-story based on the Pied Piper of Hamelin story. Well, it originated as that, but after viewing 'The Triumph of Death' by Bruegel the idea mutated into something about skeleton-like beings luring children into an opening in the earth near the execution grounds.
I can't remember what I was going to say

Ideas
Poetry Idea Notes: Helter Skelter, Holding Hands in the Dark
I've got an idea for a story. An icy wasteland is said to have been a flourishing paradise many years ago. The people keep to the outskirts of the country (where it is a little warmer) in fear of a Witch who lives in a tower in the center of the country. A boy decides to go and find the Witch and have her (or defeat her) remove the Winter Curse that haunts the land. It turns out the the ''Witch'' was the princess of the land, who sealed off the rebellious Court Wizard after he attempted some sort of coup. To protect the world she sealed the Wizard away in ice, but was forced to freeze the whole country in order to keep him frozen. Yadda Yadda Yadda, the wizard is released maybe, action ensues. I may give it an ambiguous ending (like Prometheus) Oh, I haven't mentioned Prometheus yet. I'll do that later. I think I'll sign this one on for 10 Chapters.
Post Scriptum:
Recurring themes of Dreaming, Sleep, Ice, Wolves and Darkness.
The main character's name is Merrich, His personality will write itself. His team members are Angie, a Mage that he knew growing up, Brad, a thief and Arthur, a Cleric. Merrich falls into the Hero class.

Dragon Warrior
When I was younger, I would play my uncle's (a mere thirteen years older than myself) Nintendo. He had several games, but few impacted me as much as Dragon Warrior.
He had no idea what to name himself so he hit random letters, only to end up with "ZUIX 'RO", a name that I used for a while in various things, though my Brother has now taken it as his own.
I remember well its town names, especially Hauksness, Kol, Rimildar (though, I remembered it as Rimuldar) and Tantagel. Other names that stuck in my head were Edrick and Gwaelin. I like the name Gwaelin.
Drat, I just remembered that I had thought of a better name for Mallen (one of my story characters, he's psycokinetic) but I can't remember what it was. Something similar to Edrick I think. I'll be sure to write it down next time.

What a Day
Today has been quite an interesting day. I woke up around 0700 and lay in bed dozing off and on until 0900. I then got on the computer, played Star Wars Battlefront 2 and ate breakfast. It was very strange, I seemed to have a very good grasp of the passage of time. I then proceeded to play Dragon Warrior over the course of several hours. All the while I knew that I had an essay to write. And I (quite responsibly) began doing it. Though, I'm still not done...

Well, That Didn't Work
I got a migraine the next day but am better now.
I don't have time right now to finish my expansion on Oz' history, I've got a huge english thing due. But I'll get on it when I can.
