Silence (Scene 3)

Scene 2 here Scene 1 here Walking wasn’t easy in the constant drizzle, and with no shoes it was worse. The cold was something Lyra did feel, and it wasn’t what she wanted or needed. It drained her, took energy she needed to search, to maintain the map in her head. The third time she … Continue reading Silence (Scene 3)

A review of Nabatea that almost made me cry

Originally posted on Meeka's Mind:
Forgive me if I reproduce this review in its entirety, but as a pantster, it’s validation of a sort I never expected to get:  Oooh, I loved this series, and now that it’s over, I’m suffering from a book hangover. Nabatea is the final book in the Innerscape series.…

Silence (Scene 2)

Scene 1 here The old shack retained some warmth if she huddled in close to the corner. It was timber, and even though old, it wasn’t yet rotted.

List-ing

Clothes. Protection. Hat. That’s what she needed. And shoes, comfortable and strong hiking shoes that would get her across the desert without killing every nerve in her legs and back. What else did she need? It would take a list, of course, but she had plenty of time, plenty of time indeed. It was a … Continue reading List-ing

A Candle

Never go back! Isn’t that the rule? Keep moving forward, you can’t go home, things are never the same as remembered. What did I do? Of course, I went back. I’m here now, standing in front of the first home I remember. Okay, it’s true – the only home. Even had a few siblings related … Continue reading A Candle

Silence

The cold and lumpy cobbles hurt her arms. Lyra held the moan inside, hoped the punishment was over, that someone would come and pick her up, comfort her, let her go home again. She wanted only to get warm, find proper clothes to don, and shoes – good warm socks inside thick leather boots to … Continue reading Silence
