Sunday Six: Boys and Their Toys
Aug. 4th, 2013 03:58 pmEach Sunday, post six sentences from a writing project — published, submitted, in progress, for your cat — whatever.
Today's Sunday Six comes from "Boys and Their Toys", a dark P&F setting where Phineas and Ferb have learned that, whatever they do, nothing bad will happen, and have stopped caring about people. (There may be sinister external influences that have caused this change.) The story starts with vignettes from several characters' points of view; this excerpt is from Isabella's.

Only then, in the dark hall, could she let the tears come out. How did I end up here?
She knew, of course. Phineas and Ferb’s takeover of the tri-state area had been sudden and brutal, Phinedroids and Ferbots coming out of a hidden underground assembly line to serve their whims. Only her association with Phineas had kept her and her family safe - so many others couldn’t say the same. And now, she was Phineas’s kept woman, sheltered from the horrors outside their palace while forced to watch - and occasionally endure - the horrors within.
