The bug buzzed near Oscar’s nose yet again and was shooed away only by the man’s handkerchief. The motion interrupted his reverie and he lifted himself off of the wet ground. Straightening his coat and brushing dirt off of his rear, Oscar massaged at his nose with the cloth in his hand and began walking back to the buildings, leaving both his tree—the old, snarled symbol of life; how ironic—and his ideas. There was a little muse with a tinkling bell softly chiming near his ear. Without doubt it was infinitely more pleasant than a bug on his nose, but both served their purpose in calling Oscar to his pen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yeah....so....umm.....no books used for this part. There is a well-known Wilde quote in there and kudos to anyone who knows it.
Thank you to everyone who commented and especially for the suggestions. I really do work on this from time to time although it doesn't look like it and plan on finishing. Sometime. NaNoWriMo is coming up, so no promises! Thanks again for reading and putting up with my lack of updates. <3
Oh gosh, I'm sorry that I only stumbled on this now. I'm very much enjoying this, and really appreciate how much thought you're putting into it. Gentleman!England is a great plus too. I'm looking forward to more! :) Good luck with NaNoWriMo!
I love this! Such nice imagery, and damn, so British too, lol. Those kind of gardens in the fields only exist in English literature.
I like how intrigued Oscar is, not only by Arthur, but by his own interest in him. He questions himself as much as the other. I wonder if this curiosity about what exactly is it about the other man that is so attractive which will prompt him to search the truth...especially as he sees Arthur untouched by time. He already questions the years in Arthur's gaze, which I found ridiculously hot, since Arthur's green eyes mesmerize me...
I have decided on an ultimate theme for this story which I tried to hint at a bit in this horrible update and which will become more apparent as I post more. Hopefully.
And I agree completely with you on the subject of Arthur's eyes. Green eyes in general bewilder me. Anyway, I try not to be overly cliche with things, especially from Oscar's point of view because he was such an original. And if we ever say things that are overly trite, Oscar will call himself out on it. :D
I'll have more to post soon. Thanks for your patience!
