Paradise Regained: Carolyn's Fan Fiction: Arrival in London Pages 1-4



P. 1: First Glimpse.

P. 3: And Here is Michael! 
P.4: Don & the Car; And Here's Doofus!
All artwork, layout & coloring by Ponymaan of dA.
Carolyn is going through a very stressful time in her life so she writes this to escape from her shuttle training (actually she just had a bad dream about Francois, her family's chef whom she had a crush on and never really got over, that she's trying to forget) so she sits down to pen this. I guess therapy does take many different forms.
I realize the projection here is complex, but no more so that Chaucer making himself a character who goes on the pilgrimage along with all the other funky pilgrims to Canterbury in his Tales
Oh, and about the names: Sim and Don are getting new identities (Sarah & Harold, the latter sometimes Harry). Kind of sort of like the Barbra Streisand character in What's Up, Doc? who keeps calling the Ryan O'Neal character Steve when his name is really Howard. I know, really obscure, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
