Catching up.

I'm trying to catch up on the work I have to do for my writing class. Have taken a spell from it to catch up on some of my blogs. I could do with a nap instead. I'm going to soldier on for a bit longer.

This term we have been working on memory stories. Some of the group are writing their family history. I've been busy trying to finish two project that are nearing the end. The last few weeks, my writing has taken a back seat. I don't have the undisturbed time to write. There are other jobs popping up to be done. I had to write my memory stories for my ABC Open topic. I did them yesterday.

Following is a piece that will go in the last chapter of one of my projects. We had to do a scene from something we were working on. So this is what I wrote.

Dennis stood at the front of the church with Finn by his side.


The priest stood on the step in front of the alter with the bible in his hands.


Stella stood at the entrance to the church. Virgin World, her attendant straightened her train ready for the journey down the aisle. Spirit declined to be a part of the wedding. She entered the church unseen to hide behind a statue to the left of where Stella was to stand.


The wedding march sounded.


Stella and Virgin World, made their way down the aisle. Unaware of trouble. Stella had eyes only for Dennis. The inside of the church grew warmer with every step Virgin World took. She sent out danger signals to Spirit. Stella turned to hand over her bouquet. Her hand hit a solid wall.


She turned to plead with Dennis but the man by her side was Kerry, her disfigured ex-finance. Beside him stood the Devil.


“You have lost.” The Devil laughed.


“No. You have,” challenged Virgin World.


“Grab your bride,” Devil told Kerry. He reached to take Stella's hand. She screamed.


The wedding guests scrambled from their seats to rush from the church.
