WEBLOG WOODS

Note:

This type of writing is inspired from Ms. Susan Elizabeth Phillip’s fictitional character Molly Sommerville. Not a good start, I think. Am I comprehensible?!

I’ll try to make you understand. Ms. Phillips is a feel good writer (for me). I like her Chicago Stars book series (about football players, managers, and significant others). Molly Sommerville in the series was the sister of the team owner and later the wife of a player. But Molly Sommerville as I could clearly remember was a writer/cartoonist of children’s books. She was famous for her Daphne the Bunny books with the setting in Nightingale Woods.

Still lost?! Tsk… In summary, I am inspired to write something similar with that of a book written by a fictional character (Sommerville) by a romance writer (Phillips). With a deep breathe and a forceful grunt, I am shouting, “SEPpies of the world help me!!!” Haha..

LOST IN WEBLOG WOODS

Aero the Hummingbird was upset. She couldn’t think clearly much more collectively. Spreading her miniscule wings to its full span, she didn’t have the heart to fly. With a little determination, she finally managed to. She was flying too slowly that she couldn’t even produce a hum which her specie was famous for.

“Where are my friends?”

Aero’s closest friends in the Weblog were Kei the Shitzu and Kah the Pomeranian. Such an odd group but Aero didn’t care. Finally locating the doghouse below the canopy of trees, Aero sat atop it and chirped her lungs out.

“Aero, don’t be such a bothersome!” Kah barked while adjusting her super bright pink ribbon with cute little bells around her neck. She’s a girly girl dog lost in the woods. She could make a home in the arms of a Beverly Hills’ socialite.

“Where have you been?” asked the subdued Kei with her equally subdued purple ribbon matching that of Kah’s.

“What’s happening with the world? Give me a black ribbon and that would be my noose.”

Aero can’t still comprehend how she managed to make friends with the doggies. Sometimes, you don’t choose your friends. Though how different you are from each other, there is something that connects you. And sometimes the eccentricities of friends are cute, sometimes nauseous. Chirp!

“Have you explored all of Weblog?” Kah asked while painting her dog nails bloody red. Can’t she be satisfied with her foxy head and she still needs a foxy nail polish?! Impending headache.

“No, I haven’t,” came Aero’s reply.

“I think you are not exploring at all. You are just mainly looking for the snake,” Kei retorted. How amazing that a tight lipped dawg could be so astute!

Feigning ignorance, and making the perpetual sign of denial – head bobbing left and right, Aero screamed, “NO!!”

“That basically explains everything.” Kah said snottily.

“Tissue!” Kei the ever hygienic came to the rescue. “And you Aero, you better tell everything before Kah makes a mess here.”

“A-okay.” With the speed the hummingbird’s brain could fastly process Aero’s thoughts, she quickly blurted. “King the Cobra is off near the river. Korn the Gecko’s not with him. And no, I still don’t have his URL.”

And like all the cowards way out, Aero flapped her wings to full force and hummed incessantly.

King the Cobra indirectly inspired Aero to write again, a few with sense and the rest nonsensical (not the snake’s fault, just that of the bird’s). Aero and Kei were reading his notes and they felt positively envious. You know what Aero means. You’re feeling a little jealous but in a good way that you need to do something good as well. And that was that!

Still feeling furious, Aero flapped her wings relentlessly and soared higher. When she was with nimbus and cumulus, she slowed her pace. Then she realized.

Not all people are comfortable with others reading their thoughts and emotions. Not everyone writes to entertain his/her readers. Mostly, people write to vent out their unspoken emotions. And maybe, the snake’s one of them.

“And I must respect his PARANOID sense of privacy.  Yeah, right! But he still needs to see a shrink. SOON!!!”

With that, Aero plummeted back to Weblog Woods. There are many fishes in the sea. Or literally snakes, bears and tigers in the woods. GRRR!!!
