The Creature in the Nomad Life

I’ve been in temporary housing since the end of April, after leaving my old apartment. Although the Creature from the Black Lagoon has been my traveling companion, he was not keen on being photographed in the hotels. I’m not sure why, since he was content enough when we went to Mythcon in Albuquerque. But I let him have his way.

However, he seems pleased with the current house-sitting situation, and was willing to let me take some pictures.

First up is one with the clay model head of my character Zoe, from my slowly-progressing graphic short story “Zoe Alone.” Poor Zoe has not been well protected in the moving about, so she’s gotten a little bit mushed. But since she’s clay this can be repaired.

The Creature said that since I was taking pictures, perhaps it was time to record Teddy and Dino, who mostly live in my car, Baby. Teddy and Dino are parking lot foundlings, hence their affiliation with the car. Dino I found in the apartment parking area. Teddy, however, was found in the parking structure at Sony Studios. He looked mighty forlorn there, so I collected him and he has taken up residence in the car.

About Sarah Beach

Now residing in Las Vegas, I was born in Michigan and moved to Texas when 16. After getting my Masters degree in English, I moved to Hollywood, because of the high demand for Medievalists (NOT!). As a freelance writer and editor, I find that Nevada offers better conditions for the wallet. I love writing all sorts of things, and occasionally also create some artwork.
