In conclusion of the series of Nine Lives, this is the last chapter. For this chapter I really could not pick one topic. So, I spun a story that revolves around the eight virtues that I chose in my previous chapters. Read Along and Enjoy!

PS: I made Missy into a girl here, who represents all the Missies of the eight chapters culminating all virtues at one single point.
( Nine Lives: 9) Whirlpool Of Virtues )
Author's Note: The original plot for this ninth story was totally different from what it turned out. Here was my original plot.

However, as I started framing the story around the plot, it seemed as though my characters did not want me to write what I started with. Maybe because the original plot did not have two of the Virtues planned for yet. In any case, eventually the whole story took a different turn. I literally felt that my characters were driving me the direction they want as opposed to my pen (or my keyboard in this case) and my thoughts. Sometimes I do feel my characters dictate the story, but this was the first time I ever experienced where the characters pretty much wrote the story for me. I believe writers out there feel the same too. Do you? I wonder!

Preface:
The first time I got introduced to the Nine Things About Oracles, it was
shweta_narayan 's this poem. Then
asakiyume put together some of these Nine Things About Oracles here that actually inspired me to start my first Nine Things About Oracles.
elisem took this to another level by grouping everyone's Oracles into series of Nine that are nine things about Oracles here, which led me to create another one of my very own Oracle Moments. All these threads and conversations about Nine Things About Oracles inspired me to expand this to another side.
Yes, I spun nine yarns of short stories that I am calling Nine Lives, each one depicting one character of life. Each story would breeze thru either a virute or sin of life. I picked the ones that cause either the most happiness or most sadness in life. Here I am posting the first story today. Topic is LOVE!

Just the way the day went yesterday, made me write this. After writing it, realized that it indeed could be another Oracle poem, just like my last one, My Nine Things About Oracles.
elisem one more bead for the chain of nine things about oracles.
Nine Precious Oracle Moments!
Never ever was I given, moments in a single day;
First off, warm sunshine peeking on to my bed.
Second, tunes from XMRadio, lovable melody
Making my drive to work happy.
Third, Rosie graduates, Yay!, finally!
Her hardowrk pays off, and we party.
Fourth, applause at work, made my day.
Oh! Yeah! A reason to splurge too.
Fifth, pitter patter, titter tatter
Rain! Maiden showers of this season.
Sixth, fabulous workout, achy muscles now.
Yet, a healthy way to de-stress.
Seventh, Aaaahmazing soak in lavendar
Bubble bath, Refreshing my mind, soul.
Eight, What better way to close the day
But with a yummilicious dinner, Slurp!
Ninth, Last but not the least, sleep
Beauty sleep, floating into my dreamland!
Aah! What day 'twas, yesterday, memories
Moments, filling my heart and soul to the brim.

Inspired by several posts about the Nine Things About Oracles, shared so graciously by
asakiyume and grouped together by
elisem here, I am posting about my Nine Things About Oracles, Nine Things that are dear to me, almost like Nine unique Oracles in my life; all mentioned in the order they are important to me.
One: Family
Always there for me; so am I, always there for them;
Without whom, would I reach happiness to the brim?
Two: Music
Notes, Tunes - the magical strings of fusion, rhythm;
Lost in those melodies, even if it just chants an Om!
Three: Drawing
Pencil N' Colors bring life to dreams, wishes, fantasies;
Well, sometimes even my sillies, more like funny idiocies.
Four: Cooking
Aroma of Spices, floating on veggies, meat - Yum Yummy!
A wonderful way to de-stress; pleasing growl of tummy.
Five: Writing
Amazing! how a quill can flow the river of thoughts;
Spin them into stories, poems - any / all sights!
Six: Reading
Romance, Murder, Mystery, Fiction - Main Choices
Pick I to read; enjoy would I - browsing all classes.
Seven: Workout Obsession
Oh My! what an obsession, do I have to reduce;
I could do anything to stop my overproduce.
Eight: New passions
New passions budding in me - Photography for one;
Plants being second, wonder what is the next zone!
Nine: Laugh N' Smile
Last but not the least; crack here a smile;
bounce there a laugh, forget pain awhile!
