At The Dickens Project

 

Having a few minutes to spare yesterday, I dropped by The Dickens Project, an inworld tribute to the classic tale "A Christmas Carol" and the world it took place in. I arrived in time to see a live musician, Wald Schrride play some gentle tunes, followed by Caledona Skytower reading some ghost stories.

The main entrance to the Dickens Project is at The Dickens Project (129/128/1401).

 

SL Fiction: Christmas In The Deathlands

 

We take a break from the news to bring for your entertainment a piece of Second Life fiction. In the continuing tales of Melvin Cooper, an ex-burglar brought from early 21st Century America to the post-apocalyptic area known as the Deathlands. Christmas Day starts out like many others for our protagonist, hungry with no food. But his luck takes some unusual turns, and eventually gets to show some locals what the Christmas spirit is about.

SL Video: "Jenny's Holy Night"

(Click here if the video fails to play)

From Nikira Naimarc and Die Villa on Nov 23, "Life is unfair. That feels also the little Jenny. She not only has to fight against the cold of the winter, but also against the cold in us. The pursuit of wealth, money and prestige leaves us too often blind and we also unlearn to look carefully left and right. Maybe the little Jenny will open our heart as well."

Breezes Thoughts: "Twas an Old Lady ..."

Longtime readers may remember Breezes Babii, the creative spirit behind "Breezes Thoughts" of the original Second Life Newspaper. She sent in this little tale, one that starts like a familiar nursery rhyme but quickly takes a different turn.
