This is going to be interesting. For now, I'm just posting the first part--the prologue-- but afterwards, I'll post the next chapters and such in this thread.
Here goes.
Vertigo
Prologue
The wind whispered throughout Maculae, Australia. It sent a soft relief over thousands upon thousands of sweltering foreheads. The heat was overwhelming, and it incapacitated many of even the strongest Aussies. It was days, if not hours or minutes, before the world went completely into vertigo. The Vertigo Freohr had been expected for at least three years, now.
The heat was increasing by unnatural increments every day, and a queer, relentless, golden mist clung to every topographical surface.
Among the least concerned inhabitants of Earth was an Australian man, and his wife. There names were Jasper and Kendra Nolus. Just having given birth to their third child, Noelle, a year past, the Noluses were looking forward to having their fourth, a baby boy. With the child due in a matter of hours, things were not looking too great, and their children were aware of this. Eight year-old Harper and Guinevere, who was only four, were extremely keen of the mind, and they, too, knew that their world was about to leave normalcy behind all together.
However, Kendra Nolus had better things to worry about, such as the matured fetus that was now ready to come out of her uterus. As hospital room was scarce these days, and none that presided in Maculae were experienced in delivering babies, the Noluses' trusted midwife was to assist Kendra in delivering the baby.
Deena, for that was the midwife's name, hovered over Kendra. The delivery was in progress.
The neighbors all nodded knowingly as they listened to the pained shouts of Kendra Nolus. That is, until they felt that life-changing, history-altering, earth-shattering shake, and their world was turned, quite literally, upside-down.
From this whole mess, though, something good did come, for on that fateful day, a small, bright-eyed infant was born. They called him Vertigo Nolus.
I'll post the first chapter soon! I'm almost finished with it.
Tell me how you feel about this so far....
What are you writing this in, by the way? First person? Third? I wouldn't be that suprised if it turned out to be second person. The names were very intersting. ^_^ That's one of the main things that draws me into a story. If I like the names, I'll keep on reading to find out the plot. But if the names are one used often, the story will start to bore me, even it was a good plot.
