    She is the „queen“
    … and nobody can ignore this !

    What a beauty …

    This is the kind of story, what I like and ( as always) Inwould continue to follow her directly

    Fantastic pics of this extraordinary dark beauty and a wonderful klick-klack- story of heels

      Thank you so very much, dear Heike, I think you know that Morticia has a place very close to my heart (after Annafrid, of course). I had thought to go back to her story as some of our friends have said that they missed her, but the evolution of her character from vampire back to humanity was very convoluted and I know it will be quite difficult to make a synopsistic re-telling as I tell this new part of her story.

      I did think to re-upload the original chapters, but when I looked at them again, I found I was happy with the text, but my original images were not of good quality, so I decided not to upload them again.

      But we will see how it goes and perhaps we can enjoy her new story together

      Thank you again for your kind comment

    A great comeback! I love your description of the tension involving the village as the nature itself was carrying something forbidden and mysterious. Always a pleasure to see your work with the words, Les! 🖤

      Thank you very much for your lovely comment, Laryss, and I'm very happy you felt the tension that her arrival caused in the village.

      Many thanks, again

      I finally got the time to read all of this and it's done wonderfully Les. The music goes well with the pacing too.

    Oh, wow!
    The Lady is really back?

    Stunning work, Les! Without doubt, Morticia is one of my favourite characters on image share, and your writing goes a long, long way to inspire my imagination of her dark, but oh, so elegant story!
    Thanks for sharing, mate

      Hi, my dear old friend, and to know that Morticia is one of your favourite characters is a really huge compliment, for which I thank you most sincerely!

      Many thanks again, my friend.

    I saw your post before I left work but thought, no! I'll read it quietly in the evening.And it was a good decision. The story is intriguing but leaves so many things unexplained that I hope this is just the start of a longer series. Judging by the earlier comments, I'm not the only one waiting for the continuation. So until a nice reunion with your mysterious heroine 💖

      Hello, dear Nela, thank you so much for your lovely comment.

      Indeed I was very surprised at how well this small set was received by some people and very pleasantly astonished that people still remember Morticia as I think I stopped wrting her story about three years ago.

      Thank you once again, much appreciated

      Les

    Now... that is what I call a story! Combined with the images, you have generated a somewhat spooky and suspenseful mood as she finishes her journey. Even the click of her heels comes through the words and the images showing her steps. Fantastic! One of my favorite parts is the slight break in the stillness, almost as if the Night or Nature is letting her know that she has in fact been observed... and approved of, with the caress of her cheek... saying "carry on"!

    And that is my message to you, my friend! Carry on - and continue to bring us these type of story image sets. I know they take time to write and create, so only as you have time. But when the real world can disappear for several minutes for your viewers... that is when you know you have done something worth doing! Thanks!!

    And finally, while all of the images are great, that last one is simply fabulous - she is gorgeous!

      Hi CMH!

      Thanks so much for your marvellously kind comments, they are really very appreciated, I'm really pleased you liked the story.

      And I am very happy that you felt the actual purpose of the sudden caress of her cheek by the wind, as that was exactly what I was hoping to get across to the reader, so you've made my day

      As to carrying on, I would be quite happy to take her story on from here, but the details of what happened in her history prior to this set would probably be better explained by re-uploading the orginal chapters.

      It's hard to know.

    I really liked reading the episode hopefully the beginning of a very long story.

    The screens are gorgeous especially the one with her under  the big red moon.

      Thank you so much, Morticia, you are very kind

      Despite, the character's full name being Morticiana Eloise Hildegarde Von Bracht, she generally goes by the name "Morticia" (or "Tish")

      I'm very glad you liked the images, and the one you mentioned is my particular favourite too

      Thanks again!

    Awesome writing, Les!

    Very captivating and the more I read, the more I long for our storytelling days of old. This is very much part of why I enjoy screen-archery to the point of it being entirely inspirational for written tales. I know you've captured your images with the words already in your head, as they complement to build-up perfectly. The images enhance the atmosphere of words, if that makes any sense. Very nice to read something from you again, dear friend!

    This sentence just embraced me with the lyric:


    "The moon had risen over the distant trees and the mountains, shining brightly as the rain clouds had parted and began to drift away to the south, the branches of the tall pines and the jagged tops of the mountains thrown into stark silhouettes like a cluster of barbed arrowheads against the reddish-pink circle of the moon."


    Morticiana herself is also just as mesmerizing. A very beautiful dark-haired beauty with the strength, determination and powerful mind of the ancients, now back to where history once shaped her, to claim what is truly hers...

    I must say, this intrigues me to write a bit as well, but knowing me we both already understand it won't last for long. Perhaps though, just some short texts for a single capture, kind of like a scene caught in the moment and that's it. The rest will be up to the reader so to speak. Yes, perhaps...

      Ah, my dear old friend, you are very kind...thank you for your lovely comment and it's obvious that you remember the earlier part of her story when she first came to Saint Cyr castle, and that is a huge compliment!

      I'll admit that I did enjoy the creation of this set, especially the writing, although it rapidly became obvious to me that I have become rusty in my word-smithing, I had to go over the text several times to make alterations and hopefully improve it and even now I think I could have made a better effort.

      But even while I was sitting writing and setting up the images for this part of Morticia's tale I got the feeling of being transported back to the time when we had all those friends around us who seem, sadly, to have moved on to pastures new, or just given up on game playing. It was a time of wonderful communication and friendly interaction as well as support, with people sending each other comments or  private messages with thoughts, ideas and even suggestions for the stories or occasionally even a collaboration between their sets and images. We had the most wonderfully creative and artistic screenarchers who would freely offer advice and help, and we each tended to take inspiration from each other's works, words and friendliness.

      It used to be an adventure to just open the Nexus image-share, but now it doesn't seem the same...I miss the old crew and the atmosphere.  

      On the other hand and on the "up" side, I'm very excited at the thought of the possibility of you picking up on your wonderfully imaginative writing again and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you go ahead with the idea when you feel the inclination.

      Many thanks again, old friend!
