The People of Simbria: Sunset Valley
Well, hi there. This is a story (of sorts) that has been going on for a while, so it won't be starting with the first chapter, but it doesn't matter to much, because it didn't start with the beginnin...
Forum Discussion
Yay, new chapter. 😛
Now, before we begin I'd just like to do a little throwback to the chapter where Margrethes family was first mentioned...
Chapter 2.1 - The Holm-Fredriksen Family
Primarily because of this map, though it is no longer accurate (outdated) as many people no longer live in the houses as seen on this map, especially on the street to the west of the pub.. so ignore that. What I want you to notice in particular is the name of the mental hospital seen in the bottom right corner, as it will be referenced in the latest chapter. It turns out the town has a rather dark past, which is something I thought out early on before joining this (or rather the old version of this) forum. The original name for "Little Black Marys Hill Hospital" was "Svartmarilillhaugen" and when I were to present this to an english speaking audience I had to translate and change the name ever so slightly. ;)
This "backstory" which the chapter below mentions was never in the beginning intended to be shared to a forum like this, and as such it may be a little dark, but that's how it is.. sometimes I do have a "dark fantasy"... and on that note I would also like to mention that I recently, almost in time for Halloween, reposted a chapter of my Red Winged Angels Story.. found on its blog. Not linked to from here since the idea for that story sprung out from a topic that is to dark for this place... even though I had posted all of it in the Creative story section of the previous incarnation of this forum. Anyway, lets get to the point....
Chapter 18.8 - June 2024 - Escaping the clutch... and gravity - part I
So.. in this chapter, Margrethe is on a sleepover at her friend Lise Veronicas house. She is a little skeptical of the snakes in her room, but takes a liking to the rat.. even though it is a rat. Apparently she finds it to be very cute. 😉
She's not to happy about going to school, but it gets a little better once they leave the classroom to go on an excursion to the mausoleum where they learn about something interesting from the towns past...
Margrethes mom Pia spends her day at the doctors office, working hard yearning for that promotion. Interestingly their teacher is Jarle, Inges father.
Her father Fredrik is busy after work maintaining his connections with the people around town, here by playing chess with Therapist Terje Hågensen at the old chess club.
Then comes the moment that Margrethe has been looking forward to with excitement and fear... as her mom takes her out on her first driving lesson. Who could've known those hills were so scary...
In the evening she goes on a date with her boyfriend Robert at the bowling alley, where he randomly picks a fight and they spend the majority of the time pretending to watch the night sky through the clouds and the rain, while making lame puns about the same night sky... aim for the stars...

Hope you enjoy it. 😉
