Small to medium length passages from any of Toi’s published, unpublished, and works in progress posted just because. Currently discontinued.
Apologies.
There will be no sample today and I will be a bit scarce with my posts and replies to comments this week. Anything that has already been scheduled will go up for your enjoyment, but that’s all.
I have recently learned of the loss of a relative and am taking time to spend with family. I will return to regular schedule as soon as I can.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 5.3 (wip)
In the roomy bed she’d been provided, Mira quickly became relaxed and was very comfortable. The sheets were soft and cool and the mattress was just the right firmness. After a few hours of blissful rest and sleep, a strange sound, like wings flapping or flags blowing in the wind, woke Mira from her slumber. The sound was coming from outside, so she ran down the hall to the indoor/outdoor room to gain access to the deck. There she saw what looked like an enormous white bird; the most regal she’d ever seen. It looked to be the size of a man with wings white like snow. It flapped its wings over the apple orchard as it ascended up into the sky. It was the most beautiful thing Mira had ever seen, or maybe imagined.

It’s Like the Full Moon chapter 3.3 (wip)
The next morning at brunch, since breakfast was terribly out of the question, Lisa and Rebecca reminisced over the events of the previous evening. Very early on Lisa commenced her inquiry into the mysterious young man that seemed to have enchanted Rebecca. Coyly Lisa asked, “So how exactly do you know that Peter guy Rebecca?”
Slightly annoyed, Rebecca replied, “His name’s Paul, Lisa.”
“Ok fine, Paul,” said Lisa. “I don’t care what his name is I just want to know where he first met you to get so enamored by you so quickly.”
“He’s not in enamored Lisa, he’s just flirtatious. I meet him our first day here; he was late to lunch with his father whom I’d started up a nice chat with.”
“All that from a nice chat,” said Lisa. “Honey, what were you wearing?”
