Martha, and those around her turned her attention to the young wretch who was already fleeing down a side alley. By the time she looked back, the tinker, the coins, and the duck had disappeared. Before long the rest of those gathered also began realizing the tinker and the youth might have been in league. … Continue reading 5e (Argentum’s Song)
The largest bull moose I had ever seen strolled out from between our tents and stared at me. It was beautiful, but I knew the stats. Moose were responsible for more deaths in Canada than any other animal, many of them because curious campers didn't respect them enough to give them the space they deserved. … Continue reading Rusty’s 3rd Bee Story – Part 2
The guard had nodded to two fellow militia, who to Martha’s eye, seemed to be moving to surround the tinker and keep him from running off with the money. The charlatan must have noticed them as well as he stopped edging toward the alley behind him and turned back to his wooden duck. The crowd … Continue reading 5d (Argentum’s Song – PG)

He wore a half-mask with brass rings surrounding crimson tinted glass disks before … Continue reading 5b (Argentum’s Song)
The following summer I went on a canoe trip with three friends. We were three days into a seven day canoe trip exploring one of the river and lake systems in Algonquin park. I had never been as far away from “civilization” before. I don't remember us seeing another human being in over a day. … Continue reading Rusty’s 3rd Bee Story – Part 1
As soon as Martha got around the street corner and out of Ladin's sight, she gave in and allowed herself to skip with joy. It wasn't because the errand she was on was giving her a great adventure in an exciting urban area. Rather, because it wasn't. This ‘hub’ of northern life could not possibly … Continue reading 5a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
A little later, I felt prompted to go to a website of Focus on the Family pertaining to adoption – “Waiting to Belong”.
