Hiya JD! Love the pics!!!!! Your pet dragon is adorable! Gotta watch them though or they can get into trouble without even trying.

Hi you.

Pull up a chair and join in some libations. We can tell spooky stories.

a reply to: crappiekat

I'd love spooky stories, but we are watching a HULU show, Timeless, it's new, quite fun.

I might steal a wine though, I am cheap drunk.

Followed the Gypsy trail ...

I'm watching "Dark Shadows" and reminiscing of watching it as a kid.

Hey Syxx and thanks!! It wasn't too hard find when you know where to look for it.

Did you take the portal this time Chooch?

Good evening everyone.
I have the another chapter in my story.
A very special chapter.
I wish you could read it without me giving you a spoiler.
But I have to give credit to another Shed writer.
If you'd rather be surprised then skip down to where it says chapter 14 and start reading there.
Otherwise here is the spoiler.
The parts of the story that appear in pink are wriiten by JacyGirl
and are taken from her writing and creating Shed 1.
Previous chapters of my story can be found here:
Aria and Errollorre


Now for tonight's adventure.


Chapter 14


In a small clearing in the middle of a thick forest, the cool quiet morning was suddenly disturbed by a whirlpool of incense and smoke appearing and rotating counterclockwise like a strange tornado.


The whirlpool began to dissipate but not before depositing three individuals onto the cold forest floor, Errrollorre, Aria and Troll.


“Ouch.” said Aria. “I landed on a pointed stick.”
“That’s not so bad.” said Errollorre with a muffled voice. “Troll landed on me.”
“Troll sorry.” said Troll. “Troll stand up and get off stupid man.”


Troll stood up on top of Errollorre for a moment. Then pushed off and leapt to the ground.
“Ugh. Thanks Troll.” said Errollorre. “I think I need to be put in traction.”
“Listen Errollorre” said Aria. “There is absolutely no sound coming from anything in this forest.”
“That’s because we are still moving fast from being in the time stream.” said Errollorre.
“Everything will appear as frozen to us for a few minutes until time catches up to us.”
“Troll see strange smoke.” said Troll pointing to the sky above the trees.


A trail of frozen smoke rose high into the air from a distant point beyond the forest.
“Let’s go to where that smoke is coming from.” said Errollorre. “Maybe it will help us figure out where and when we are.”

The trio walked through the forest for a long while.
As time caught up to them the sounds of forest animals began to be heard.
The distant smoke also moved in the warm morning breeze.
They at last came to a clearing at the edge of the forest.
They could see some buildings in the distance that the smoke was coming from.

“This seems familiar.” said Aria. “But I know Accasia like the back of my hand, and we are not in Accasia.
“I know what you mean.” said Errollorre. “This seems familiar to me too. But at the same time I don’t think I’ve been here before.”

Troll suddenly froze in his spot. He lifted his head a sniffed.
“Troll smell bacon!” yelled Troll.
Troll took off for the buildings like a racehorse.

“Troll no stop!” yelled Errollorre. “We have to stop him Aria. If he is seen or changes something in the timeline we could be trapped here. We don’t even know where here is yet.”

Aria looked around and found a nice round rock.
With pinpoint accuracy she threw it and hit Troll in the back of the head.
This caused Troll to stop and look around to see what hit him.

Errollorre and Aria ran up to Troll.
“Troll you have to wait until we know where we are.” said Errollorre. “You don’t want us to get stuck somewhere we don’t belong.”
Aria stood there listening with her sensitive elven hearing.
“Errollorre I hear a girl crying.” said Aria “She’s in the forest over there and heading this way.”
“Duck down until she passes.” said Errollorre. “We mustn't interact with anyone.”

The three time travelers lay in the grass behind a large green bush watching the girl emerge from the forest.
“I know who that is!” said Aria. “I know where we are. That’s my friend. My dear friend.”

continued....



Aria rose to go to the girl but Errollorre pulled her back down.
“No Aria. I recognize her too. But we must not let her see us.”
“Oh Errollorre.” said Aria. “I haven’t seen her in so long. I have to see her.”
“Ok.” said Errollorre. We can have a look and listen. Perhaps it will help us figure out how to get out of here and back where we belong. Let’s go over this way. She won’t see us if we’re careful. We can hide behind that painted van and watch and listen.”


Errollorre, Aria, and Troll crawled quietly around the edge of the clearing and came up behind the buildings. They crouched behind a painted van and watched the girl approach.





Lost and alone, she limped over uneven ground and broken branches...searching for signs of life.
Using her dirty sleeve to wipe the tears from her face, she looked towards the clearing.
A small wisp of smoke could be seen rising in the distance.
With heart pounding, she slowly worked her way towards the tell-tale sign of human existence.
"Fire!" she exclaimed.
Where there's smoke...there's fire. Where there's fire...there are people.


As she moved forward, she patted the little knapsack slung over her bruised shoulder.
"We'll be okay soon," she whispered.
A furry face popped up and looked at her quizically.
"Hush ferret," she smiled. "I'm sure they will help us."
Jacy rubbed her gurgling stomach. Lack of food was making her weak, and her lost days in the forest were taking their toll. Relying on the generosity of strangers made her feel vulnerable, but she didn't have a choice now.
"Yeah, I bet you're hungry too," she said, while stroking the ferret's face.


When she was close enough to focus, Jacy thought she was hallucinating.
After days of nothing but trees and wildlife...she was approaching what she feared was perhaps a mirage of sorts.
A perfectly manicured property, with house, shed and camper van all painted in various colours.
"Soooo pretty," she murmured, looking around with eyes wide.
As she got closer she could hear voices, and the aroma of bacon made her empty stomach groan.
Sophie's head popped up again. The little ferret sniffed the air and looked towards the house.
"I know, bacon!" Jacy exclaimed. "You like bacon, don't you? Maybe they even have bananas!" she laughed.


As she stepped onto the damp grass, a pretty lady with long dark hair came out of the rainbow-striped house.
"You made it!" she grinned.
"Umm...hello? Where am I exactly?" Jacy asked suspiciously.
"This is the land of No Time. My name is Jane, and we have been expecting you."
Jane put her arm around Jacy and led her towards the kitchen door.
"Hey, how are you expecting me, when I'm lost?" Jacy asked.
"You're not lost, you're exactly where you're supposed to be." Jane answered. "Now, come in and meet the others."


Entering the kitchen, Jacy could see a group of people sitting around an old oak table. There were steaming plates of food, over-flowing fruit bowls....and a full pot of coffee.
"Ohh...I'm in Heaven!" she exclaimed.
Jane led her to a chair while a pretty girl with pixie ears placed a plate of food and a mug of coffee in front of her.
Jacy murmured, "Thank you" and looked around at all the smiling faces.
"How do you know me?" she inquired. "How are you expecting me?"
The pixie-girl reached into Jacy's satchel and placed Sophie in front of a bowl of fruit pieces.
"I'm Night Star," she said shyly, pushing a banana slice towards the hungry ferret.
"Nice to meet you Night Star," Jacy mumbled in between mouthfuls. "Can someone please explain to me what's going on here?"


Jane came over and gave her a hug. "You're among friends now," she said. "Kindred souls...kind hearts...and much love."
Just as Jacy opened her mouth to respond, she heard the 'thud thud thud' of heavy footsteps. Turning in her chair, she gasped at what she saw. A huge man with long dark hair flung himself into a chair.
"Found the rum!" he said, pouring a large quantity into his coffee mug.
Jacy peered under the table, unsure of what she had just witnessed. Was he wearing 'bunny slippers'?
Seeing her perplexed expression, the large man extended a rather large hand.
"I'm TrueBrit, pleased to finally meet you girl!"
"Hello sir," Jacy said, placing her hand in his. She leaned across the table and whispered, "Am I dreaming?"


Laughter erupted amongst the crowd.
Night Star looked at TrueBrit, Jane and the others, and in a concerned voice said, "Maybe we should tell her about the 'dimensions'?"
Jacy stopped eating and stood up abruptly.
"Dimensions?"
TrueBrit tossed back the contents of his mug, and then looked directly at the now frightened girl.
"Dimensions...alternate dimensions...you KNOW this, you just have to remember!"
Sitting down again, Jacy shrugged. "All I can remember, is that I was lost."
"And now you're found!" smiled a petite blonde girl. "Hi, I'm Tsu...we are sisters in the land of No Time."


Jacy sniffed her coffee cup, wondering if it had been spiked. She eyed the big man with the rum bottle.
"Sounds like Alice in Wonderland stuff to me."
Jane patted her shoulder and refilled her coffee cup. "Maybe Gordi can explain it?" she asked the group.
"Och, woman...ye've given me enough jobs this bright mornin'!" a Scottish accent echoed from another room.
"Bloody bureau of yours....move it here, move it there..."
Tsu jumped up out of her seat, "Never mind Gordi, I'll tell her!"
Jacy craned her neck, looking for the man they called Gordi. "Can someone please just tell me what's happening?"


Tsu lifted the now sleeping ferret and cradled it in her lap. "I will explain it to you Jaky."
"It's Jacy!"
"I know," she grinned. "I am your soul sister. So is Jane, and Night Star...and there are others. On earth we have 'blood family' but we also have 'soul family'. You were lost, because you have lost your blood family. We, your soul family...have simply assisted you in transitioning to a slightly different dimension...where we can help you and keep you safe." She patted Jacy's knee...as if this now explained everything.
Jacy looked around the table, as everyone was nodding in agreement and smiling.
Night Star stood up, placed her mug in the sink and then turned to Jacy. "You're staying with me, in the shed!" she exclaimed, rather excited.
"You live in the shed?" Jacy asked, still thinking she was dreaming.
"Oh, it's not just a regular shed!" Night Star laughed. "It's a magical shed...we have dragons in there!"
"Looks pretty small to me..." Jacy shook her head. "Dragons...dragons aren't even real..."


TrueBrit uncrossed his long legs, and shook a bunny-slipper-encased foot at the new arrival.
"Wot's real?" he asked.

More of the tale and the days of The Shed beginnings with Errollorre, Aria and Troll trying desperately not to interfere with the events in time will be forthcoming.

Bravo my friend, bravo! What a wonderful tribute to Jacy! I hope that she sees this and is inticed to come back 'home'. As always, love your writing! Thank you for this! Big hug to Jacy wherever you may be, forever in our hearts.

a reply to: Night Star

Thanks. It's not just a tribute to Jacy. (although she started the thread. )
It's a chance to revisit and maybe even put a little twist on the early days of The Shed. And show a little history at the same time.
