Digging on Lenore

digtreescreen

The SS Vulcania is currently in dry dock on White Owl Island, being refurbished in readiness for the next leg of her journey. She will be in dry dock for awhile and so passengers are asked to take their time and explore Owl Island, the Abbey and Lost Lenore.

If you are going to spend some time on the Island of the Lost Lenore you may want to spend some time digging and finding some of what you thought was lost. You might just find your lost voice! Of course, you might find things you were not looking for too. But that is all a part of the whole deal. Dig at your own risk!

Key Background

Pythian Games On P Deck

Passengers who choose to stay on board for long periods often decide to leave their cabins and come on up to P Deck for the Pythian Games. The Pythian Games have been popular at Soul Food for some years and they are the perfect place to train and maintain daily practice. You can use prompts from Soul Food, the Pythian Games lens or work from other sources. It is a place where all genres are welcome.

Alyce’s Journey Out of the Grove
started at: http://www.dailywriting.net/SpottedDogSundae.htm ended up at: http://www.dailywriting.net/MadPartyRoom.htm I am not following any old squirrel. I don’t care what it does. I am tired of chasing after animals that talk and walk and carry watches and all sorts of other nonsense. Oh, I am not saying, oh Alyce dear, keep your feet on the ground, de […]

Restoring The Dig Tree
prompt found at the Dig Tree I find myself standing amid the debris and destruction that was my dig tree. I am not disenchanted or downtrodden or sad. I find that I am feeling strong, happy, hopeful. I search through the shards and shrapnel of exploded wood with care. I do not know for certain what [...]

a minimalist’s pallet
The sky is awash. Streaks of gray and blue. The world. As far as the eye can see. Muted tones. No bright pastels. Glowing cobalts. Streaks of brilliant light. Not tonight. This eve’s artist is in a gray mood. This eve’s artist is using a minimalist’s pallet. Is using a wide brush. With little color. The [...]

Return To The Dig Tree
prompt found at: The Dig Tree You would think, as whiney as I was last time I stood before this tree, with my pick in my hand, deciding I was too tired and too whatever to actually just dig in, that I would have gotten over myself and my little childish whims before I came back again. [...]

Travel With A Donkey

Some passengers of the Vulcania have responded to the call of the piper and they are travelling overland, on Donkeys. Each night at twelve midnight donkeys wait in the stable behind the Swan and Rose Inn, ready to take newcomers on the increasingly, well todden road most travelled.

Travels With A Donkey

Within the Bones
Subject: Valley of the Bones From: Nannie109@aol.com To: ClarisaT@yahoogroups.com Whatever possessed me to embark on this donkey trip? I should have stayed on the ship watching Elsie draw and the clouds floating by the moon, listening to Mother complaining of everything while denying what’s happening as well as w […]
Almurta’s last post
‘We will leave you here Almurta,’ said Leonie at the edge of the balcony jutting out from the House of Serpents. Her companions were already drifting silently back into the forest. A woman led Shadow and placed his bridle in Almurta’s hand. He hung back as if reluctant to join the crowd [...]
The Feast
At precisely one o’clock a horn sounded and all the talking was silenced. With the help of a loudspeaker Bella welcomed everyone to the feast. She told us that children would pass amongst us and collect the snakeskins. (Someone on our table didn’t have one, so I passed down my spare.) Once they were all [...]
The Day of the Serpents
I woke the next morning to sounds of activity outside. Trestle tables and benches were being arranged in circles around the duck pond, and more were being placed on the part of the common that was not cluttered with tents. The children were all helping and there was a great deal of merriment. I [...]
Francesca Lets Go
“I am so afraid,” Francesca said as she ran her fingers slowly through the tuft of fur between Maya’s ears, her bright crimson nails visible through the dull grey. Francesca could tell Maya was wise and that this was not her first journey down Serpentine Road, but still she could not stop the anxiety that [...]

We Are Still Walking
Unc and I keep walking this road, this Serpentine Road. We hear a lot of things following behind us, keeping pace with us, in the woods on either side. This is not always a good thing. I have also discovered that my donkey likes to talk to himself, under his breath, all the time. Sometimes [...]
Surprise! I Forgive…
“Shhhh! Here they are!” She walks through the door and sees us. I can almost see the wheels spinning as she tries to wrap her head around why the faces of her friends and family are here…grinning at her. “Surprise!” The camera flashes. She blinks as though returning from a journey to the past. “Oh, it’s a party […]
Laugh Your Ass Off
Drambuie and I continued our way down the Serpentine Road; a road of great beauty made of greenish-brown stone. It was the kind of stone that one would find in the entry way of a great estate. I suddenly noticed the lack of sounds made by Drambuie’s hooves. Feeling the need to share my unrestricted [...]
