Eternal Curse: Battleground 10.0 (wip)

“Well now,” she said calmly as though she hadn’t just been crying. “I presume you are in charge of security, so what shall we do first?” I continued to be amazed by her. She was so different from any regular person I’d ever known, but then it didn’t take me long to realize that she wasn’t “regular” at all.

I spoke up taking charge as I had many times before with those of my kind. “First we need to secure a cover for us to travel together and I need to make sure that we are not being tracked.”

It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 7.1 (wip)

“Oh please stay,” she said wiping tears from her face. “I know Teddy and Rebecca would love to have you here. They’re both so fund of you.” Virgil looked up momentarily, he wondered what Lisa meant by that last comment. He’d never seen or heard of this guy before. Why was he there; this should be a time for family, he thought. Little by little over the next couple of hours more family and close friends showed up to give their support. The crowd had to be moved to a waiting room down the hall. Somehow, Lisa became the designated message taker; her phone was flooded with calls from people wanting to know updates. Eventually, even Mr. Thornton showed up. He had his nurse get him a taxi. He came in and sat next to Lisa as she took her calls. He held her purse and her coffee and even her hand when she needed it.

Sample Sunday 81: GIOVANNI’S ANGEL

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 8.0 (wip)

The year was 1929. I was barely a man myself when Giovanni and I first met. I had just turned twenty years old and I was engaged to a sweet, small town girl with a thirst for knowledge. Her family was more than just poor; they were desperate. She’d worked a job since the age of eight. When I met Sarah, I knew right away that I’d spend the rest of my life taking care of her and making her happy. I always thought it was somehow cosmic or predetermined for me to love her the way I do, given that my name is Abraham and her’s is Sarah.
