Just thought I would let people know I uploaded another chapter on my epic story spanning some 75,000 words now. Below is a small excerpt from the most recenter chapter i've uploaded, and below that is a link to the first chapter of the story. So check it out and comment if you're interested. I love getting review, good or bad, as long as they're constructive in nature. Anyways, enjoy.
Swirls of snow drifted through the street like lost ghosts ailing for a place to finally rest. Lantern lights glistened on every corner, casting out golden rays of light which made the dreary cold and stubborn lack of sunshine mildly enjoyable. People, few and far between, walked in a single direction, towards the center of town. Above the low and dark rooftops a shining shaft of light cast into the snowy air. This was where the people were going.
But Kodi's eyes and heart were barely in him to notice. His head hung low between his shoulders as thoughts rushed through his head. He was thinking about what Kirby had said, about how he was nothing more than a bully. Perhaps Kodi had been a little too tough on the team recently. Maybe he didn't need to break their spirits quite as much as he had been in the past few days. He had got his position back, which was what he wanted in the first place. Did he really have to go on and continue being this mean to his friends? Would it really be so bad to go back to being himself? Couldn't he smile and laugh with his team again like they had in the old days? Couldn't he be Kodi again?
But if he stopped would it just go back to the way it had been before he turned mean? Would Mr. Simpson see him calming down and take him out of the lead for fear that he had lost his oomph going into the race? Would Kirby, Dusty, and Ralph see his kindness as weakness and strike out at him with words and teeth while they felt the getting was good? The hole Kodi felt inside himself felt too deep to get out by simply flipping a switch.
Kodi shook his head and tried not to think, tried to push it all from his mind. He'd see what Steel had to say about it when he got to the Musher's banquette.
