Aurora took one of the tubes out of the case, holding it up to light to better see what’s inside it. “Yeah, I think it does.” I looked over at it. “Isn’t that the same colour as the blood sample?” Aurora nodded. “I believe so.” “Interesting, I wonder where they got it from?” Estella said.

When the moon came up…
Different than usual, the jump-off line is actually from the novel Lord of Emperors by Guy Gavriel Kay. For a while, I was doing Wild Writing daily so I had to supplement the Laurie Wagner videos with a source of my own. And that’s when I turned to fiction. I think the piece below isContinue reading “When the moon came up…”
Forgive yourself
The jump-off line comes from A Course In Miracles by Megan Freitag. Forgive yourself the words of retort that you were too slow to say. Forgive yourself the fear and helplessness behind the dignity maintained in front of the public which everyone else saw as silence and passiveness. Forgive yourself the sleepless nights in whichContinue reading “Forgive yourself”
Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 21
We ended up tracking Guppy by the beacon on the buggy, which indicated a factory at the edge of town, with a forest and farmlands lying beyond. Estella assumed she’d been kidnapped. “Let’s not waste any time then, we can follow the road until we’re close, and then circle around through the forest, get aContinue reading “Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 21”
Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 20
I walked into a bar that I espied on the way. It was a little place tucked away in a corner. When I walked in, I realised it was one of these dingy places. Still, I’ve seen worse. I sat myself down on the bar stool. Before I could even order, a woman walked rightContinue reading “Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 20”
I want to put it behind me…
This is just a line invented by Laurie Wagner who runs Wild Writing. I took it instead of any of the lines from the poem. That happens. I found out when I’m not inspired by a line, I just am not. This piece is not just about me. Laurie’s Wild Writing is more about truthContinue reading “I want to put it behind me…”
We are learning…
The jump-off line is from New Day’s Lyric by Amanda Gorman. We are learning the way of it, the way to move, the way to navigate through time. We are learning to unravel, to delve into the inner workings, to know what was once unknowable. We are learning to dissemble, to bide our time withContinue reading “We are learning…“
Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 19
We landed on a farming community some distance from the Frontier, that looked large enough to have a vehicle seller. Only Jessica had been here before and she couldn’t tell us much except that it was a quiet place. We decided that made it safe enough for us to split up in two teams: me,Continue reading “Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 19”
We know this though we forget…
The jump-off line is from the poem Nothing Wants to Suffer by Danusha Lameris. We know this though we forget. We know that abduction of children occur even in advanced developed countries. We know that there might not be a tomorrow but we feel confident that there will be one for us. We know thisContinue reading “We know this though we forget…”
Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 18
When Guppy came in the gunnery deck, she looked like she had scrawled the words “I’m serious” on her forehead. And she looked like that all the way when she was helping out and did not speak one word to me. “Loosen up, kiddo, you need your concentration for the shots.” I told her. SheContinue reading “Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 18”
