Teri tries to remember how old she's supposed to be
Transmigrated Teri is a WIP that is part of a “post 200 words a day during July” challenge issued by
. Episodes posted daily will be of various lengths and sometimes will stop in the middle of the scene. You have been warned!The set up:
Teri Travers, a nearly-50 bitter “office lady” who has not led a happy life gets in a massive car accident after being sent home on the first day of COVID lockdown in 2020. She (and her dog) wake up in a strange new world that is also strangely familiar…that’s right, she’s been transmigrated into the world of her favorite 1990s fantasy novel series, the massively popular, critically disdained, and incredibly tropetastic Allisar Fireborn Chronicles (AFC) by the infamous Chadwick Jarvaldson, aka “Fuckin’ Chad” to all his very annoyed fans who are still waiting for the final book to be published.
Previously: Teri starts spinning the tale that she has selective amnesia…
She waved at hand at Lady Elisandar, who had started crying loudly again.
“She looks much older than I expected, which is why I did not recognize her at first.”
This time the murmuring was dismayed.
Doctor Dourwin, though, was not one of the ones murmuring. He studied her with a critical eye before folding his hands in front of himself.
This is exciting! What if he doesn’t believe you?
Theo, please just lay down and shut up for a minute.
Rude! He spun in place for a moment and flopped back down in a huff. Everyone by the bed flinched, but continued to ignore him.
“And before you ask, no, I do not remember how I got into this situation at all. Lady Elisandar mentioned that I was on a shadow hunt for a void howler?”
Doctor Dourwin’s face turned sour like curdled milk. “Indeed.” He rolled his shoulders.
She just stared back at him, hoping she looked imperious and demanding, and not constipated.
“What imperial year do you last remember?”
Well, she knew she had forgotten something. She gnawed at her cheek for a moment, trying to do math and figure out when Lady Greyrage was actually about thirteen. There was a reason she wasn’t in the accounting or financial aid departments.
