Hippocampus Chapter 1
I just know it. And it’s not just my sense of touch that’s affected, all my five senses are. You watch a horror movie and you know the psychotic axe-wielding cold-blooded murderer is appearing any second now to claim his next victim – you can shut your eyes, you cover your ears and sing ‘we’re going to the zoo zoo zoo…’ I can’t.
It’s like having, what people call, a sixth sense, I guess. Just that in this case, my sixth sense doesn’t predict the future, like: I’m going to get a cardigan from my grandmother (which she knitted) for my birthday tomorrow; she’s going to make me wear it and although I’m going to look like a walking cactus plant, she would say ‘oh, don’t you look lovely, darling.’ No. My sixth sense incorporates all the five basic senses and allows me to see without using my eyes, hear without using my ear, taste without using my tongue.
Now if I could just figure out what these lines joining all these names mean…
The phone starts to ring. Ring ring. Ring ring. Six times it rang and the answering machine came on. ‘Hi, this is Alice Pieszecki. I’m either not home at the moment, or I’m in bed with someone hot and if it’s the latter, you better hope you’re not disturbing me. Anyway, keep it short and sweet – the way I like it. I’m referring to your message of course. Beep.’ There was a slight pause. ‘Hey, it’s Ruth. No, I’m not calling regarding your show. I was wondering if… you’re free for dinner sometime next week. Maybe after your show. We could talk about other things… not concerning radio. Call me back.’

wow – i am really intrigued. great writing. please continue – and fast.
My Danish/twin telepathy has drawn me to your fic… That. Or your direction to it. Finally a Danish writer that is out of her eerie hibernation! And what a great way to start off a chapter with an interesting POV. Nice, Wischnia! You know what else is ‘gangsta’? Howie secretly owning a barbie doll. We just don’t know it yet. More ‘Piece-a-Key’ please! asap.
i dont get it, will someone explain so i dont feel like a idiot :(
Narrator is Dana’s spirit, so all this happens after Dana’s death (or maybe while Dana’s in coma :P).
coll: Anni_M is right. Hope that has cleared your doubts. But of course the possibilities are endless: Alice could be on drugs and suffering from the sides effects of hallucinations and amnesia, or Danish could have taken a leaf from Sharmen and are playing a game of their own called ‘Too forgetful’. Anni_M: LOL, other than being my Yoda, have you doubled up as my secretary as well? Haha thanks anyway! Red: How did you guess? Howie has more barbie dolls than Dana and he plays with them while wearing a Strawberry Shortcake T-shirt.
I’m loving it…really curious what’s going to happen next. Please continue!
