Something STRANGE Is Coming...

Something STRANGE is coming...

a tiny town adventure? it couldn't hurt to check it out. fairuza bought a bus ticket all the way out to henford-on-bagley where past the old mill, a big scrap of land was being advertised as this soon to be tiny town. all it needed was... everything. there were no buildings, there was no infrastructure, there were no people. so what exactly did it have?

...promise?

It’s her life 🧡

if you hear it echoing, your wish will soon come true.

fairuza painted.

then she painted some more.

the sun rose high in the sky and still, she painted.

it was as if the chirping birds, scurrying foxes, and general lack of hustle and bustle unleashed some death grip that the city had on her creative muse. ideas flooded out faster than she could afford the canvas to capture them. had fairuza really gone so long without realizing how disconnected from nature she had become? now the dirt underneath her feet felt like the embrace of an old friend.

so she painted how that felt too.

this school was much smaller than the one fairuza left in the city. maybe in a classroom of this size, she would actually be able to learn a few people's names. her grades had never been stellar, but who could expect straight a's when any and all questions were consistently drowned out by the dull roar of a mildly apathetic student body? everyone got lost in the mix. even a bright kid could stumble while trying to read a textbook alone.
