Author’s Notes: This is part 2 of 3 based on a three month challenge collaborating by using the Sims created by others in the SimLit Monthly Challenge group.
Step 1 – READ HERE– create a new character and upload it to the gallery. Create the backstory for this character. FIND TODD HERE in the gallery as Castaway Todd
Step 2 – This chapter – I selected Veronica Grey, one of the characters from another writer’s character introduction to incorporate as an antagonist (creating tension or conflict for Todd) (as per the rules – 673 words, 10 images)
Step 3 – HERE – a third character will be added to the storyline as a protagonist (a supporting character that may help to resolve or smooth over the tension or conflict)
The Simaginarium 
Good use of Veronica! I’m excited to see what happens next. ❤
Wow…I love it! The last part was hilarious! Can’t wait to find out what happens next!
I knew right away when I read your story that she would be the antagonist to Todd’s Paradise.
This is neat!
thank you 🙂 I am having fun, which I guess is what really matters, but it is nice to know others are stopping by to read.
Oh wow nice combination ❤
Very nice .. can’t wait to see the out come
Back to re-read and I am still intrigued .. who on earth can help them now …
That picture where Todd finds Veronica washed up on the beach had me laughing out loud. He looks so exasperated! I understand Todd. It’s one thing to take care of yourself or even another adult, but a baby on a deserted island? This installment made me love Todd more. He appears rough around the edges, but he’s a softie on the inside.
lol thank you. Your comment made me chuckle too. I can’t wait to wrap up with part 2. Todd, the real one, got a laugh out of this too.
Oh gosh, poor Todd has had his Peace and quiet shattered! 😂
Oh, no! No way Todd was prepared for this!
I love that his first thought upon seeing Veronica isn’t “Oh no! I’d better back up slowly and pretend I didn’t see anything!” but “Oh no! I have to take care of the baby!” He immediately takes responsibility. What a sweetie!
He is modeled after my real life husband (who, like me has an allergy to children lol) so I didn’t want him to come across as a total jerk face.
