March of Microanalysis Day 22
Microfiction Entry Day 22:
The undertaker thought it a pity to bury one so pretty. So he took her home and raised her as his own.
Creepy, yes? But also kind of sweet. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote this. It sort of wrote itself. There must be something magical or fantastic going on, though, because otherwise the undertaker’s daughter wouldn’t be around for long. Perhaps she has a destiny to fulfill. Perhaps she’s under an enchantment. Perhaps Tim Burton has something to do with it.
I don't know if the "pity/pretty" thingy annoys me or not. "Home/own" is kinda doing it too. Both rhymes were unintentional on my part.
Anyway, the undertaker just wanted to give her a better life, or afterlife, or unlife. It's nice to be nice.™
Through March, I'm posting a breakdown/analysis of the microfiction I posted on the corresponding day in February. This is probably only interesting to you if you care about the mechanics of writing, or if you know me personally.
