To whet your appetite before I send out this chapter.  It should be 
out in full (or decent portion therof) in a few days.

If you are reading this story, please tell me.  I know I have 
problems in my stories, and I desperately need the C&C.

Happi's Legacy,
A Ranma 1/2 Alternate world
By Liath Corrine Shadow
Episode 3


Darkness surrounds me.

Well, my eyes are closed, so of course I should only see darkness.

But darkness isn't just in the sight...it's in the feel.

I open my eyes slowly, and glance around me.  something feels 
wrong, something feels...not right.

I'm in a room, not surprising.  It's dark outside, I probably slept a 
long time.

Someone is in the room with me.  Someone small, shrivelled.

Whoever it is is standing, or is it sitting?, in the far corner of the 
room.  Whoever it is looks up at me, and I can see into his eyes.

Deep into his eyes.

"I'm sorry.  I'm so, so sorry," My father whispers before vanishing 
from my sight.

*****

It isn't much, I know.

Flame away!  Although I personally prefer constructive criticism 
myself =^_^=
