Chapter three tomorrow/Peri and Silas

I just found out this morning that S&S will be releasing chapter three tomorrow on RT Book Reviews. I’m so jazzed. If you’re looking for chapters one and two, they are at the website, here.

But what has me excited today is that I found the perfect music video for Silas and Peri. I have been listening to Filous/James Hersey’s “How Hard I Try” for a couple of months, but today I looked up the music video, and just about lost it. The human condition truly is universal. I found myself bawling at the end when, after give and take, discord and syncronicity, anger and love, he just let her walk away. They both did. Come on, Silas. I know she’s proud, tough, and infuriating, but she’s vulnerable and fragile–and you need her as much as she needs you. How could you just . . . walk away!

Fortunately there’s more to the story than this. At least in my story.

This is why I adore music/preforming arts. They can do in in three minutes what takes me 450 pages.
