Opening Line:
"Glass crunched beneath her shoe, the sound abnormally loud in the silent world of dawn/dusk."
Plot point:
Places:
a gentle wooded area where the sun seems to filter through the trees at impossible angles and the air smells like sweet honeysuckle and roses. in the middle there is a concrete park bench and a statue of an angel holding a rose looking down smiling sweetly. like an adoring type stare from a marblized love.
- The Gardens (suitable probably only for fantasy). I really adore these, but I'm not doing fantasy :( First is the Twilight Garden. The vegetation within is autumnal, no matter what the actual season outside is. The garden itself is always in twilight (think Zelda - Twilight Princess), no matter what the time outside, and the entire thing seems to glow faintly orangey-gold. Next is the Midnight Garden - always midnight, always winter. There's snow on the ground, but there are also flowers - all white, all glowing faintly. There are no leaves on the trees, but they are strung with fairy lights. The Dawn Garden is eternally dawn and eternally spring, coloured in soft pinks and golds and yellows. It's packed with flowers covering nearly every single surface, including wisteria dripping down from the trees. And the Midday Garden is always noon and always summer - it's like a tropical retreat, swelteringly hot and with a constant sound of cicadas. There are a lot of fruit trees - apricots, nectarines, mangos, grape vines, bananas - but also tropical flowers, like hibiscus and frangipani. The canopy is so thick that a lot of light is blocked out, but what does reach the floor causes little patterns over it as a breeze moves through the trees.
Quotes:
"It was a cold and rainy day when I died the first time"
"It's funny how my life didn't really start until the world ended."
The moon rose, red and deadly, on the night of the twenty-first of October -- a night I will never forget.
"If good is evil, and evil is good, then what's the point?"
