Eternal Curse: Battleground 9.0 (wip)

All was quiet. The tension is the room was palpable. We each held our breaths and ignored the elephant in the room as Dad began to slowly descend back down to the floor. I couldn’t even remember at what point during Sheldon’s story that he’d become so overwhelmed. I only hoped that this wouldn’t be a major setback in Dad’s progression.

Flakes of frost began to crawl up the walls as Sheldon and Dad’s combined efforts worked to restore a comfortable temperature to the confined quarter. I stood strong and put on a brave face the way Mom had taught me, so Dad wouldn’t worry too much about hurting or scaring me. Once we were all in the clear and we were certain that Dad’s condition would continue to progress, Sheldon continued his tale. We all knew what was coming next.

It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 6.4.# (wip)

Slowly everyone came down from there frenzied high and gave Paul some privacy to finish dressing. Back down stairs where Ms. Rapture and TiTi Lucy were setting the table, Lisa poured everyone a glass of wine and explained how she and Rebecca met Paul in Milan. Then Teddy explained how they met earlier that day. For the most part Rebecca just sat back and listened to the others tell their stories while her mind wandered in and out of the current topic. She picked up on the fact that Paul was only supposed to be there for a week and that he’d be living in a condo with his father in the town after that. Rebecca was more glad that she had moved to the city at the moment than she’d been in the six years she’d lived there.

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 7.4 (wip)

Mira decided to go for a walk and look around for Giovanni. She searched the house and the lab, but he wasn’t there. She searched the sheds, the greenhouse, and the gardens, but he wasn’t there. She ran up and down the orchards, but still could not find him. Then she wandered out into the wilderness that surrounded the estate. She walked and walked, forgetting why she was there and what she was looking for. Mid-day came along and Mira thought briefly of Giovanni hiding away from the sunlight, and remembered her reason for wandering. As Mira looked all around her, she realized that she was lost. She twirled around several times and noticed nothing seemed recognizable to her and that there was no sign of a path nearby.
