From: David Braun To: Lion King List 3 Subject: The Outcast Date: Thursday, March 20, 1997 3:49 AM The idea tonight was to sit down at my computer, pound back WAY too many cups of coffee, and then start writing until I had finished chapter 7 of my fanfic... .... and then the coffee ran out, and I poked my muzzle into the #IRC again and got totally distracted. Anyway, I _did_ manage to write something, though it's not quite what I'd originally set out to write. The outcast stands, and his auburn mane a halo gold in the sun doth burn. He homeward looks 'cross the seared plain and wonders if he might 'ere return. He sighs, forelorn at his sordid lot and yearns for comfort and pride mates lost. He wonders oft if the life he bought was worth the price of the youth it cost. He slowly turns to his jungle home where patient friends will his mood appease. They wonder why he would yearn to roam so far away from his life of ease. His trouhled heart, in its guilt-lade cast belies his outward veneer of peace. Until he learns to confront his past his tortur'd soul will have no surcease. db----- Begin TLK Code 1.1 ------- TLK++++ A+>+++ C-/+++>++++ L+>+++ M-- Pna++++ W++$>++++ S++ !T RLTI>HM a+ cfan++>++++$ e+>++ h--/+ iwt+++>++++ pc++ sm# ------- End TLK Code ------- tlkiawol
