[WIP Writing Sample] The King and the Wicked Mermaid

I’ve been working on a fantasy children’s story currently called Shupikayi and the Coral Kingdom. I’m still trying to decide what I want to happen next, and I am considering making a few changes. This first chapter is one of the changes I made. I’m writing by the seat of my pants so I’m going to see if this sticks. Anyway, this is the prologue to the fantasy story about a young girl named Shupikayi who ends up running away from home and finds herself in a completely new and amazing, and a little scary place under the sea. Hope you enjoy this! *** Once upon a time, there was a noble king named King Vusumuzi. He ruled his kingdom with kindness and wisdom, and his wisdom brought great prosperity to his people.

Unwritten Visions

In my mind’s eye

I see the awesome battle

Between the heroine and her foe.

She defeats the villain

With her magical powers

And her magical bow.


In my mind’s eye

I see her again

Walking through an ancient tower

Trying to find the Lost Gem

Of Gorgorem

Which is said to hold great power.


In my mind’s eye

She meets a fairy

Who, with the gem, forges her new weapon

And trains her to shoot arrows with her magical bow

And gives her pyrokinesis lessons.


I see it all so clearly,

Like movie playing before me,

And rush to my computer to write.

But as I type, delete, retype, and delete

The online document remains completely white.


At night, in my bed,

The visions dance in my head

Wonderful scene after wonderful scene.

But the visions in my head

Now give me dread,

For they seem to lack plot and theme.
