how does one write an alicent hightower???
↪ 𝑪𝑼𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑶𝑹'𝑺 𝑷𝑰𝑪𝑲𝑺 . ( a series of sentence starters from a collection of gothic short stories . adjust phrasing as necessary . this post will be updated . )
that is a weird story , which will only haunt you if i tell it .
i like weird tales , & they never trouble me .
you’ll be sorry for it , & so shall i , perhaps .
a dreadful sense of loneliness oppressed me .
i’ve gone back a little to refresh my memory .
i can find my way back to you .
let us get out of this horrible place at once .
other men have passed here before us .
we may find something rare & precious here .
i never have quite forgiven myself for stealing it .
i brought it away as a souvenir .
i have a little surprise for you , my love .
you are foolishly superstitious .
neither sleep , food, nor air gives me strength .
i told no one , i wanted to surprise you with it .
wake up & answer me !
i cherish the theory that the soul sometimes lingers in the body after death .
i should like to see justice done to it .
you believe in the soul as an independent entity , then ?
nobody would go near the place .
you and i know what happened . or at least can guess .
don’t you recognize me ?
you shouldn’t leave your sentences unfinished .
i was just going home .
i’ll gladly come in , if you’ll allow me .
i must get back as quick as i can , it will be dark in a few minutes .
you must come with me .
i won’t stand for such nonsense , now .
good heavens , it’s a man’s body !
i wish the wind would go down .
you’ve been gone so long , i thought something must have happened to you .
the elements are always the true immortals .
i don’t mean that , of course .
shows how lonely this place is .
what else , in the name of heaven , what else ?
you know , i saw it before you did .
don’t keep pretending you hear things .
the best thing you can do is just keep quiet .
come & listen , & see what you make of it .
haven’t i explained all that once ?
i can’t disguise it any longer .
i don’t like this place . the darkness , & the noises , & the awful feelings i get .
we must keep our minds quiet .
& what do you propose ?
i slept badly a little after dawn .
the wind won’t account for all the noises .
were you awake all last night ?
the only thing for us to do is to go on as though nothing had happened .
the less we think about them the better .
i dare not put the thought into words .
