A short story I'm working on.
It's gonna be called Oversaturated clownery:Puffy's journey to composure. Here's a summary of the plot.
A balloon dog named Puffy Worryworks is born within a circus and is immediately horrified by his surroundings. The loud and hyper balloon animals prancing around happily is what terrified him most. This caused him to attempt to escape the circus but is caught by a clown and taken back to the main part of the circus tent. This is when Puffy finds out that the first act in the circus is about to start, and is also when he's given the name Puffy Worryworks by a clown who noticed his behaviour. 3 minutes into the act he gets too scared once again and escapes. This time he's successful. He travels through multiple places (villages, beaches, countryside, streets) until a woman named Sandra spots the anxious creature and takes him to her home. She reveals that she's a retired clown who used to be named Fuchsia, and reassures Puffy that shes more calmer than most clowns. She also mentions that she aims to take care of puffy the best she can, and teach him that things do get better and not every loud object is a threat. From this moment onwards this is when the happy ending happens which'll show Puffy becoming a happier and less anxious person.
In short, OC:PJTC is about a globophobic balloon dog wanting to find a calmer environment to live in.
Most things in this story will be a metaphorical representation of how I feel having globophobia meanwhilst also being balloon-dogkin at the same time.I'll probs make an analysis presentation that'll explain how the short story represents that
Here's what some of the characters look like:
Puffy Worryworks
Sandra/Fuchsia the clown
Sandra's girlfriend (Doesn't have a name yet)
I don't have nay major plans with this story, I'm just going to publish the story to AO3 and/or quotev and that will be it for OC:PJTC.
