THE WOMAN

Story on Mibba
original / rated r / crime
Dead man walking couldn't scare me. Only I can scare me.


Tiny tiny summary: A small little neighbourhood brimming with life and smiles and happiness. The entire deal is way to bright to be real, and the shady residents of the small suburban area find this out the harder way when one of them dies.

A slightly bigger, crude summary: The story revolves around two main characters, Vittoria and Magnus, who are arm dealers living together in their spacey suburban home. So far, they've been faring quite well, trading guns and sometimes drugs and sometimes other people's secrets. There is no feeling bad about it, not really, for they've lost their conscience a while ago - the only thing they can do is be cautious.

They know, after all, that their neighbours are not quite saints either, and they know that these suburbs are place for gathering of many shady people. All they have to do is not step on any toes and not anger any wrong people.

All's fine, really, until their shady neighbours start dying. Then, it's just the matter of outsmarting the others and, at the same, avoiding the woman - a chameleon woman drifting across all the possible lines.

WORD COUNT GOAL: 50 000 words


More realistically, it's probably going to be around 10 000 because I'm in the middle of six exams and I have no time to sleep, let alone write. But I'm going to try for the sake of trying.

AESTHETICS


even pearly fences and matching flowers
uneven houses with the same white paint
garden parties at warm weekend nights
children laughing in the yard, swings
smiles and pies and hugs and teatime gossip
the neon-lights 24/7 diner (it ruins the neighbourhood)
black plastic bags
lighting up a cigarette with bloody hands
thick red blood on the pale white tile

If I'm feeling up to it or if I find the time, I may add music to the tiny profiles too.
If links are not working, it means that I have scrapped the character and only recently brought them back.

PROMPTS

I do accept prompts etc. and I hope they're going to help me push through the month /sobs
So, here are some I already have:

Include or mention character's favourite animal
BP if they own something related to it
TBP if they have to save it (but what if lions omg)
QBP if they actually adopt it (bUT WHAT IF LIONS)

Include unrequited crushing/love

TBP if they get over it
QBP if they don't do it by being an asshole looking for a stand-in
