April Quote Queste: The Truth


This is the Quote Queste for April!


The rules are found HERE. If you would like to participate, then go for it, don't be shy!

This month's prompt: "A truth spoken before its time is dangerous." -Greek proverb

My story this month:

The Truth

“A truth spoken before its time is dangerous.” The words of my father rang in my ears. “The Prosecution would like to call miss Natria Levyic to the stand.” I shivered as I stood and headed towards the front of the courtroom. 

"What is your name?" "Natria Levyic." I answered. It seemed odd that the attorney would ask my name after just announcing it. “Would you be so kind as to tell us what happened on the night in question?” The prosecuting attorney asked me, almost kindly. I said nothing; after all, I did have the right to remain silent, did I not? “Could you share with us what happened?” Silence. “Miss, if you choose not to speak, the truth will not be revealed. Now, if you please, we would like to hear what you have to say.” 

I took a deep breath. It would not do to expose the truth just yet. “If you don’t mind, I choose to remain silent, as is my right.” “That is your decision?” I nodded. “It is.” But the attorney did not give up so easily. “Then the court will not hear what you have to say at this time?” “So it would seem.” His expression changed from one of questioning to one of resignation. “Very well. It appears that this witness will no longer be necessary to the trial at this point in time. Miss Natria Levyic is dismissed from the stand, with no further questions.” 

I heaved a sigh of relief. I had managed to withhold the truth, and remain calm. Deep down, I knew that it may not have been the right thing to do in the eyes of the law, but it was not the opportune moment for the truth to be evinced. After all, the truth is given by God to us all in our time, in our turn. I reasoned with myself. Satisfied, I left the courthouse.



So there you have it! This time, I was able to make it quite a bit shorter than last month's. It was a bit harder this month. It took awhile for inspiration to hit me, but when it did, there was no question about what I was going to write about. I can't wait to see next month's prompt!

Ni lû tôl!

      The second to last sentence came from Les Mis, it seemed like the perfect place to put it.

      Never fear, I have a post already written up of a dialog that my sister and I wrote, but I have to get my mom to approve it first.

The Bookshelf Tag

Image
Ok, so a while ago  Mironiel Blokzyl  made a bookshelf tag, and tagged anyone who wanted to do it, so, naturally, I stole it  decided to do it. :) But, seeing as how I was on vacation when she posted it, and away from most of my precious books, I had to wait until I returned. Anyways, I'm positive the only rules are to answer the questions, and tag people. Let the tag commence! 1) How do you rearrange your bookshelf? There was a time when I didn't even have my own shelf, I shared with Lydia, so she did the organizing. Then, I got a huge tall bookshelf, that was rather wobbly. I thing I filled about half of it, and used the other half for desk storage, since I didn't (and still don't) have a desk. I moved rooms a couple of times, and now I have a different bookshelf (that is still huge). I had a faze where I wanted everything by series and height. Now it's just what looks nice and interesting. When I get more books, I may try to organize by color. 2)

Bang goes that theory. -_- Night before last, the heater ran all night, and I had the brilliant idea to accidentally sleep a large portion of the night with my mouth open. Fast-forward to 7:30 yesterday morning. I woke up with a sore throat. Determined to not let it get me down, I continued to function like normal, despite the fact that all I really wanted to do was ignore my alarm clock and pull the blankets back over my head. I marched downstairs and promptly brewed myself a mug-full of tea. Most the the day, I was able to act like nothing was out of the ordinary- I was even able to finish my science for the rest of the year! (*throws confetti*) After dinner though, I started getting really really tired. When Mom read us a story in the living room, I almost fell asleep. After she finished, I went back up to my room. If it hadn't been only 8ish I would have gone to sleep immediately, but it was, so instead, I crawled into bed with a book. I little while later, little si

I fixed it!

Image
A couple weeks ago I was notified by somebody who shall remain anonymous (you know who you are) that my Google Friend Connect button was out of commission. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what was the issue, so I just left it alone and hoped that Google would eventually fix it for me. Still nothing. A couple days ago, Lydia asked me to email her a list of some of my favorite bloggers (don't worry, you're all my favorite, but I couldn't very well send her a list of dozens of links to wade through, now could I?). She also asked me how she could get more involved in the blogging community. Of course, I told her to post more on  her secondary blog , and to follow and comment on other people's blogs. After thinking on what I told her, I decided that I needed to check the design for her secondary blog because I couldn't even remember what it looked like even though I was the one who designed it for her. Holy moly! It was definitely cringe-worthy!
