Knowledge Chapter One"Any last words?"

She keeps staring at me, that....that awestruck look in her eyes. What’s this girls’ problem?
“You know I don’t have any powers, right?”
God, that arrogance!
“You know who I am. You know where I am. Do you honestly think I’d let you leave alive? You’re disposable to me.”

She smiles—smiles!—and says, “If you really thought that I’d be already dead.”
My turn to be sarcastic. “Oh, really? Because I was under the impression that I was being humane, giving you some last wishes.”
Something—a memory, perhaps?—flashed across her eyes. No

Prologue to Knowledge1146 Trenton Place APT 1B....why does that sound familiar?...wait a second. No way!

The door creaks open. The stranger eyes my trenchcoat and fedora hanging on the otherwise empty coat rack.
"Hello?...."
The figure leaves no crevice unexamined, no object untouched.

A child in a candy shop...
Oh, what fun.

Nathan's LamentShe has her mother's eyes.
And hair.
In fact, physically, she's miniature clone of Meredith.
But that fierce determination she possesses, that's all mine.

Mine...

I love Monty and Simon with all my heart, even more than I love myself; is there any love left for her?

...Does she even have any for me?

"Nathan", she called me.
"Dad", she called him.

...why does this hurt as much as it does?
Claire was dead to me for seventeen years; I had gotten over it, damnit!
I don't know her. What kind of father can I be when I don't even know what her favorite color is?

“Mama!”
“What is it, darling?”
Anna runs into my embrace, her tearstained face burying into my shoulder.
“A few kids at school made fun of her.” Erik picks up her bookbag, which she had flung off when running to me.
“Mama—they called me ugly and a freak! And Billie hit me. See?” she had a greenish bruise on her upper arm.
“Well, come on inside, honey. I’ll fix that right up and make you some chocolate milk. You too, Erik. Okay?”
“Yay!” Anna skips into our one-story ranch, Erik on her heels.

Toshiba Laptop Skin 1by *DazzledByNorrington

Contests / 2010 / Toshiba Laptop Skin Contest

My first entry for the Toshiba Laptop Skin contest!

I think it's pretty <3 And I'd use it for my laptop (which is a Toshiba, funnily enough!)

I'm not an artist so i just used pictures from my Pic Folder and manipulated them to conform to the skin.

IMPORTANT EDIT: A couple of people were like, "hey, shouldn't you credit for the pics that obvs arent yours?" And yes, I agree with that, but the music one I got in an email from my music teacher, and the rainbows ive had in my Pics Folder for forever. It *was* prob. someone in dA (cuz we're awesome XD) so...i credit YOU! Whoever did it, here's your credit. K? Just tryin to please everyone and not break rules.

Thanks for the comments, faves, notes, llamas, etc. LOVE YA'LL!!!

how did you do at? did you use GIMP or MS Paint to make it?

*DazzledByNorrington Aug 17, 2010 Student Writer

i had the pics on my computer from forever ago (i used them as desktops) so i downloaded the laptop template onto regular Paint (whatever comes with a Toshiba laptop--MS Paint, i think?) and pasted the pics on it, shrunk them and flipped them and cut them and stuff and put it on the skin. It took like a half hour to get right. I dont own any fancy editing software LOL

~PrincessAbihime Aug 17, 2010

Is there a way at it can show me how to do at?
