Locution Contest: All Children, Except One

My latest story written for a Locution contest. This time the prompt was to take a first line from another work, be it story, movie, song, etc, and use it as your first line. I chose Peter Pan.

Locution, Issue 3

  1. Ooh, I liked this, nice use of the Peter Pan line!

    Was a bit confused by the women in the village saying "hardly proper" about a widow, when there's clearly been a war on, or at least that was the impression given, that this was war-torn England. Widows must've been commonplace!

  2. Oops, entirely forgot this was here. >_<

    Yeah, someone else commented that on the first draft. The "hardly proper" was meant to be a comment on the fact that she was living alone instead of moving back in with her mother, not that she was a widow. Not sure if I managed to fix that in the edit that went into the zine, but hopefully~
