Stained – Chapter 1
Chapter 1
It was unusually warm in LA for a day this late in the summer. Actually, it wasn’t just warm. It was HOT. It was one of those days where you’re just aching to jump into anything that remotely resembles water. A pool, the sea, some dirty pond… anything!
Tina Kennard was trying to find her sunglasses in her purse while also doing her best to keep up with the exuberant 5-year-old running ahead. ‘Why is it,’ Tina thought impatiently, ‘that I can never seem to find anything in this damn purse?’ It wasn’t even a big purse, but then again size didn’t seem to have anything to do with this little fact of life. Tina was beginning to think it was a law of nature. As she was rummaging through her purse, Tina cast a quick glance at the little boy to make sure he didn’t get too far ahead.
"Wait up, David!" she yelled at him and the child turned around, waiting for her to catch up.
Tina directed her attention back to her purse. She was sure she’d had her sunglasses earlier that day, when she was at the beach with the children. It was Saturday, a day Tina Kennard had been spending at The Centre for the last three months. The Centre was a non-profit organisation helping out underprivileged children and their parents. Every Saturday morning Tina worked together with other volunteers to give these children a chance to do something fun. Some days there were guest teachers teaching the kids how to play an instrument, other days they would be allowed to paint and every once in a while they would do something special, like going to the zoo.
Most children would do these things with their parent, but there were a lot of parents out there who didn’t have the time, money or energy to provide their children with such day-to-day entertainment. David’s mother Gloria for instance was a single parent, forced to work two jobs since David’s father had run out on them. Although she loved her son very much, she just didn’t have the energy to take him to the zoo or even the beach after having worked a 70-hour workweek.

Yay! I have comments! Thnx so much. Ok, sorry, will stop the happy dance now, since there was actually a reason I’m commenting on my own story. Luckily it hasn’t posted as one sentence, but I’d like to make the dialogue italic to avoid confusion. Anyone know how to do that? Thnx!
Love it so far. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen, so more please!!!!
Ok that was too short, I lie it so far. The Great Bette Porter, hmm.
ROFL about the Ziff comment above … can’t imagine anyone getting tired of BT beginnings … this was great. must go back to beginning and ensure you did NOT write that the next post would be six weeks from now. i must be dreaming.
ps. Any chance on you bing dutch? The med-school thing in your authorscomments reminds me of me a few years ago LOL
I was sitting here trying to remember how Notting Hill went. Actually right now what I recall most is the whole Horse and Hound fiasco. lol I want to yell, “That was too short!” but I know from experience that you can write your butt off and no matter how much you feel you have written, it’s still just too short. Anyway, if the general public here is sick of B&T beginnings, then my name is Elizabeth Ziff, aka ezgirl.
I have to agree with the others… I never get sick of BT beginnings and it was deffinetly too short. But I loved it anyway so go on.
