Haunted Mirror

I went rifling through an old notebook (one of my hodge-podge journals where I was journalling EVERYthing together which I like to do, but is dreadful for finding stuff) and came across a Bizarre Concept.

One of those "fantasy cliche" exercises spurred it (or so I would gather from their juxtaposition on neighboring pages). It's one of the notes I was completely puzzled over until I'd puzzled it out to the end:
    A culture where the names of the gods are chosen carefully to be invoked for identities at births...but a very slight mispronounceation invokes a certain god. The children are unalterably kleptos.
    Luckily, there's a thieves colony, because it happens fairly often.

That's a fairly malleable bit. It could turn to a story where the colony emerges as an odd thievery-accomodating culture, where it begins to plot revolt, where... see?

I've started a new blog mostly for myself to practice descriptive writing by making memories into stories. I really want to learn to evoke places, times, environments. To be able to better this:
" Instead of the echoing quiet of the display hall, the rumble of motors and squeal of shop doors surrounded them. "    A gem of originality, that...

And I wrote Escape Pod because it's been 2 months since I submitted.
That makes me a bit nervous.
