Lainers, the Happy Lil Dead Girl
Lainers the Happy Lil Dead Girl by Paul Rees-Jones
She floats around the light,
That shining orb so bright.
She knows its ringing call,
But doesn’t want it at all.
Skin so white, cheeks pink and red,
Content in being the living dead.
Her friends are cold, just like her,
Living and playing, just like they were.
And oh the joy of pranks and scares,
To those who trespass without cares.
Moaning and groaning like a ghost,
Is something she like the most.
Flying free, spinning in a whirl,
Lainers the happy lil dead girl.

Your frame has a massive impact.
But little girls should not be dead
It’s like the little one is happy being dead. Sad…

Sorry but this looks a lot like roman dirge’s lenore: the cutest little dead girl published by slave labor andsold in book stores and hot topics everywhere
Hmmmmm…
Shannon Rene' ... replied
yeah, i know who lenore is and lainers does not look anything like lenore. i love dirge but my stuff is way more detailed.
Crockpot
AND your stuff is way cuter. Dirge’s stuff is creepier. And more vague. Your characters actually have expression.
Shannon Rene' ... replied
thanks lorie….! :)
Maureen Bloesch

retrocharm

PJ Ryan
