Username: ♔Voltaire♔
Name: Halley
Gender: Heifer
Collar: (she comes w a premade collar that you can choose to go w or pick your own) All you!
Prompt:
The weight of words becomes obtrusive when they come from those of the dead.
Halley's life as nightfall descends upon the rocky mountainsides consists of writing letters in the form of paper planes, extending her arms and sending them floating on the mountain breezes. Where they go, Halley never knows- all she knows is that she can count on a few making it back to her, containing faint chicken scratches and scrawled out notes. Her friends call her delirious, her classmates deem her a witch- but Halley is a medium; the voices of the dead too loud for her to ignore.
Her gift for communicating with the deceased came at a young age, her imaginary friends not really "imaginary" by any means. She was caught up late at night talking to herself in the mirror, waking her parents up in the dead of the night with agonizing wails. The spirits wouldn't leave her alone, keeping her up for nights on end, leaving the darkest bags under her eyes and causing her to nod off during her classes. After much consideration and acceptance of the circumstances from her parents, they recommended that she communicate with them via letters, hoping to appease the rowdy spirits and allowing for their daughter to finally get some much needed rest. Thankfully, the spirits conceded, a silent pact made in order to keep the peace and make sure the spirits were being heard.
As the sun sets, Halley takes the letters from the previous morning from the dead and sends her replies back out into the crisp air, watching as they fly off into a distant somewhere, where they will return on her porch step the morning after. After school she makes her rounds to the families of the departed who live in town, providing much needed comfort and closure. (304 words)
