Kick, kick, nudge. Well, the little one is certainly active. He is making it known to me that he is present. And like every pregnant mother experiences, he is creating awareness of ligaments and muscles that we don't know existed before this baby has joined our lives.

22b (Argentum’s Song – PG)
“What if I don’t want to be indentured for the rest of my life? To anyone.” Argent remembered her role in the caravan and could understand that question. He had been too afraid to ever voice anything similar to Simon but he had struggled with the concept himself. Until the first time he had … Continue reading 22b (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Alexis’s first pizza dream part 3
(Still that letter from 2005 🙂 Half way through.) I look out the window. That is NOT Srinagar. Nope definitely NOT Srinagar. In fact it looks strangely like Delhi. I tap the man on the shoulder in front of me. "Excuse me ... did I overhear you say that you were going to Srinagar?" He … Continue reading Alexis’s first pizza dream part 3

Chapter Twenty Two “So the creator, Ferus, has the power to block the weir infection ...” Martha was clearly trying her best to keep a fast pace behind Argent up the mountain but she kept getting thrown off balance and just plodded along so slowly. “Yes but He only keeps people from turning if they … Continue reading 22a (Argentum’s Song – PG)

38. Reassurance
Oh how good it was to hear the little ones beating heart after so many weeks of only having the last memory hearing his heart beat being dulled by the given knowledge that there was only one heart beat. This time it was pure joy, and a bit of relief to hear the strong sound … Continue reading 38. Reassurance
20b (Argentum’s Song – PG)
He reached into a pouch by his side and pulled out half a handful of dried meat and berries that he proceeded to split with her. “Well, you aren’t turned and you aren’t eaten. So I think I can fill in the blanks for you. Earl and Franklin must have returned just in time to … Continue reading 20b (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Alexis’s first pizza dream part 2
(Reminder that this is adapted from a letter I wrote home over a decade ago. Still worth reading I think 🙂 ) TODAY I get up at 4, share a Taxi to the airport with a german I just met from my hotel, am one of the first people in line and then am ushered … Continue reading Alexis’s first pizza dream part 2
20a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Chapter Twenty “Please, please don’t stop … that’s the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard!” Martha must have managed to convey her sense of desperation through her whisper, as Argent returned the flute to his lips and played. Martha closed her eyes and went to rest her head on her hands. Only one hand was … Continue reading 20a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
