Title: The Making of Maggie
Author: divadea
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 036, the Initiative
Character: Maggie Walsh

She wouldn’t admit it, but no matter how many degrees Maggie procured, how many papers she published in psychology journals, how many kudos she received from the vice president, the fear never really dissipated. She still smelled the blood from the sacrifices, still heard the chanting in demon languages full of guttural, slimy sounds, still felt the chill of hiding in the hall closet, looking through the crack at whatever other-worldly beast her father was dragging past her to the basement.

 

But now it was it was Professor Walsh. There was no demon and no man she could not subdue.

interesting look at the history that might have made maggie into the professor we loved to hate...

[divadea.livejournal.com]

Well, she better have had a nasty childhood - otherwise what's her excuse...

Interesting take on the life of Maggie

LOL, "interesting" seems to be the prevailing opinion.

Interesting take on Maggie's back history. You certainly get the feeling she's a control freak.

[divadea.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Thanks.

Well, that certainly explains a lot. Nice job with Walsh's backstory.

[divadea.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Interesting idea on Maggie's backstory. I love the phrase "gutteral, slimy sounds: nice and onomatopoeia-y.

[divadea.livejournal.com]

Hehe, thanks, Laura. Don't know how a sound can be slimy really, but maybe that's because I've been lucky...
