I've learnt my lesson; don't think I'll ever try again to work within the confines of a sonnet -- much too restricting. But it was interesting trying. | |

· Over the rainbow Prose (by razoo) Melissa Perl is an eighteen year old orphan, living in Mulberry village with foster parents Emma and Gary, following the horrific death of her mother during the birth of her now deceased sister Tracy through cancer, as well as her fathers suicide shortly after. Blinded by her belief that the only way for her to ever reunite with her parents is to acquire talent needed to deem herself worthy of joining them in ‘the village of the stars’, Melissa becomes desperate to seek greatness and emulate the talents that her parents once held. Doing so proves immensely difficult, and is the cause of much of Melissa's melancholy.
