Webb of Anasi 1: Chapter 1 (Rough Draft Manuscript)

“Brooklyn is so pretty from up here, huh sis”  Denise said looking down from teh tip of the brooklyn tower. Staning above 1066 feet adn sitting on the black scaffold. “The air is so thin up here.”

“Yeah the breeze feels so nice with sun setting. How are you doing Theo”  Sondra asked her little brother  who was staidning horizontally on the vertical pltatofem his hadn behind his head. 

“Its alright I guess. I’m just happy that its dark enough that no one can see us. This high.” 

“”Which is why you shold be wearing a mask or at least your hoodie.” He  reache te the op of the scaffold and turned to walk  horizontally down the scaffold. Looking down at the sidewolak with his sandals in his hands.

“Sondra, it’s dark and we are like what, a 1,000 feet up in the sky.  Besides, you’re the one who told me to come.”

“Becasue you havee to keep your training up.”

“You’r sound like mom. Its bad enough i have homework and football practice.”

“Well , little brother you should be happy we don’t have curfew. So long as we are training.”

“Denise, thats like saying its okay so long a we’re studying. I’m not Vanessa.”

“Will you two focus.” She squinted and focused past the rooftops below them to teh the ants of people on the sidewalk illumintaged by street lamps, buidlins sings, and car lights. She stepped of the silver scaffold onto a very fine thread of light only seen by the reflection of the moon. 

“Says the one walking on her web. What if someone see you.?”

“oh , theywill just think she is walking on air.”

Sondra knealthon the theread.and at ther two younger siblings. 

“You two feel anything?”

“Nothing going on the ground, “ Denis plucked  at the thin orange thread that stretched from  the lap on the scaffold to the sidewoalk. 

“And nothing in the going on in the air..”  Theo twirl a purple strint togher and then unwinded it. “So much for training.”

“Helpppp!”  an voice came from the string from Denise.

“Looks like you talked to soon. Sondra?”

“Focus on it  adn take us there.” 

Denise hope ouonto her feet and jumped  the pflatform head first. An orange web shot from her finger tips. Theo followed by jumping feetfirst and purple web sot.

“You know I dont see why Vanessa or Rudy aren’t here training.”

Sondra somersualted from her web shooting a  yellow web twoard the the smae buuidling. 

“Stop complaining. And be a man.” 

The three siblings swung around buildings, the breeze hitting their faces. Smiling as they turne arnother corner to  a back alley whee a woman was surrounded b five men.  And none of them notice the thin orange web they were on.
