Welcome, one and all! I'm HyperLinkzer, Master of the Musical Keyboard and Keeper of the Fish Order.

There ya have it. That's me. I'll post some writing to sample soon.

And remember, don't swim with the jellyfish - they sting.

Welcome, Linkz-who-has-already-been-here-long-enough-to-earn-a-nickname-from-the-Short-One! It's been fun talking to you in chat. I hope you settle in well. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Will do, Shorty.

Hello there, Hyper. Glad to have you. I'll be looking for those posts you promised.

What does Master of the Musical Keyboard refer to?

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

@Tarin: The piano.

Here's a sample of my writing. Enjoy!

Eye On The Prize
by Hyper

I catch the jellybean in my black-gloved hand just before it hits the floor. I breathe a sigh of relief. It is just inches away from clattering on the tile floor. Placing the jellybean back on the table with the rest, I take another slow step. Any sudden noises – such as jellybeans falling on the ground – will wake up the man on the couch.

I cannot afford that.

Reaching out to steady myself, I let my eyes adjust to the dark room. It seems I am in the kitchen. I glance at my illuminated watch. Two o’clock in the morning. Perfect time to get the money.

The safe is in the bedroom. I switch my mind back to the blueprints I studied earlier. If the information is correct, the kitchen is on the south side, as well as the window through which I came in. The bedroom is on the north side, the opposite end of the house.

The hallway is in front of me. All I have to do is sneak through it, make my way into the bedroom, and crack the safe. Easy, right?

Let’s get this party started.

I press my back up against the wall. I sidle along, my padded boots making virtually no noise on the cold floor.

I am halfway across when something catches my eye. A light, coming from the bedroom. Moving shadows as well. I stop cold in my tracks.

The hallway light is still off, thank goodness. But lights mean people. And people mean trouble.

Trouble means jail.

That can’t happen.

Hoping nobody will see me, I put my wristwatch in my pocket. I knew I shouldn’t have brought one that glows in the dark.

The hall light bores into my eyes, momentarily blinding me from seeing the policemen rush through the door and level their loaded weapons at my head. I clench my eyes shut and ball my hands into fists, frustrated.

“Cut! Great job everybody. Now let’s move on to the scene at the jail.”

I smile, rip the sweaty ski mask off my face and leave to go change my costume.

Welcome to HW, Hyper! Hope you enjoy yourself here!

JELLYBEANZ!!!!!! That was an intense excerpt, made even better by the jellybeans.

Welcome to Holy Worlds! *Goes to look at blog*

And don't eat them either. Or you'll die!

Welcome to HW, Hyperlinkser! I liked your FVF on your blog. It was great.

What types of music? I prefer classical and movie scores myself.

Pretty much whatever my teacher gives me...I really like Jazz though.

I thought I had more writing to post, but I can't seem to find any. I will search some more...

Awesome, I can't wait to read more!
Next time, you should check out this link: viewforum.php?f=19 and post your work there.

Welcome! I'm pleased to be joined by someone as cool as yourself. Come on in, make yourself at home. Here, sit down on the leather couch here. Have a warm muffin or ten. Do you like chocolate chip? How about apple cinnamon?

If he doesn't, you can give them to me.

Oh, there are enough for everybody.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, HyperLinkzer! I liked the excerpt. Very intriguing.
*plays piano also* Do you compose your own pieces?

I wish I did. I've tried.


Actually, I posted my thread in the "Excerpts" subforum, but Eleutheria Mimetes moved it here.


Warm muffin or ten? Don't mind if I do. *accepts muffins*

I found something else to post...give me a sec to do a quick edit and then I'll post it.

Yes, your introduction goes here. I actually noticed that and pointed it out to her (she has the power to move threads; I don't) and she moved it. But your writing and excerpts go in the Fireside.

Me too. My attempts sounded awful!

Keep trying, and you'll get better.

Ahhh...I see. I shall make a thread there as well. Thanks for letting me know.

And it seems I forgot to post what I said I was going to post...oh well. I'll post it once I get my other thread started up.

It's okay. And my advice would be to look around, learn by example. You don't have to have just one thread in the Fireside; you can have as many as you want, for different story excerpts, poems, etc., even whole novels.
Any questions, feel free to click the "PM" button and message me.

Welcome, welcome! Glad to have you here!
