Terrarium Lights, pt. 3.6
Previously on Terrarium Lights: Gail learns Mrs. Seward's side to the story.
Gail still felt like she had no idea what was going on.
After she prayed with Mrs. Seward, she had hugged the dear woman, paid for her food, and gone outside to talk with Jonathon. Upon making it outside, Jonathon broke the eventual silence to say that he wasn't sure he could talk about it right then.
"There's… a lot," he said. "About my past, and some things I've half-remembered, and about my current… condition. I just… I need to think about it alone for a bit."
"Well," Gail said, looking up at the sky that was a little darker than she'd like for her walk home, "you're welcome to either stay here and work that out, or else come back with me to think on it back at my house. I'm very glad to know you're safe, but I do need to head back before night falls."
Jonathon nodded. "I think… I think I'll stay here for the time being. I… I also need to think about where Samuel is. I know I tried to find him at some point, but couldn't."
"In this past week?" Gail asked.
"No. I think I tried to find him when I came back, from… wherever that was." He kicked at a pebble, watched it rock on the ground. "I think… I think that's how I ended up lost. I knew needed to find Samuel, before it was too late, but… I didn't find him. So I just wandered around and got lost in the woods."
Gail hummed. "So you sat down under a tree to rest."
"Something like that. I got a bit too lost, in every sense of the word, and I still can't quite remember it all. But… I don't think I found him. I don't know what I can do about it now, but… it’s something else for me to think about, I guess."
Gail prayed with him, too, before leaving for home, admonishing him after to make sure he got some rest. He smiled weakly, and replied with something vaguely non-committal.
But she had to face that she had done what she could for the day, and she had to be home. So she gave him another pat—it seemed to be the only form of physical contact that worked with him—and set out. It was a long walk, and the sun had set by the time she made it back. The last bit of the journey was slow, the path dark under the trees and lit only by the stars and moon.
After a quick supper, she fell right to sleep and did not wake until the sun had made its way back high into the sky.

Updates!
Victory! 🎆✨
NaNoWriMo got vanquished, with a few thousand words to spare. A hearty chunk of the word count was research-related, but I got Terrarium Lights fully drafted, which is also a victory in and of itself (I actually finished a story for once lol). The original plan was that the story would be three parts, and it still kind of is, just, uh, well now there are sub-parts to the parts. So. Not sure exactly how the update schedule will work, but I'm going to try to upload a bit every Saturday.
Research continues to go. I think I knocked out most of my needed research for Wild West stuff, but we'll see as the writing continues.
Still debating about whether or not I should try and do an entry for the Christmas Inklings Challenge. I have some vague scene ideas but nothing concrete.
The rest of the month/year will be mostly prep work and research and editing for various projects to be tackled in 2024 (which is. next month. why is time like this), mainly a few more shorter stories and the longer story with Crispin, and more generally getting my writer act together.

Little Plant Robot!
A Terrarium robot I made. I finally put the little plant I sculpted into it.
It's kinda sad I'm going to have to completely remake the 3D models from scratch, but it must be done. I made the originals using some sketchy TinkerCAD shenanigans. That made making adjustments difficult. Now that I use FreeCad, it'll save me from future headaches.
The parts arrived and the printer is reasonably working again. Just need to model/print... Then get more ideas for next month! You can see me trying to draw new ideas on the page.
