Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 2.2 (wip)

At that point, I too was crying again. Dad held us both in his arms and simply stared at us. He looked at us as if he was witnessing a miracle. He was in awe and amazed that we were there with him.

It was becoming more and more difficult for me to look into my father’s eyes without confusion and discomfort. There I was, twenty-two years old and he only looked to be a few years older than me. In all those years, he’d barely aged. I had always been daddy’s little girl. I never wanted to acknowledge the fact that I knew one day, I’d grow old and he’d outlive me.

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 4 (wip)

Mira didn’t know if she was truly terrified or compellingly intrigued. Was this all real or was she just dreaming? Mira slowly began to fade back into reality as she heard a deeply thunderous angelic voice call out to her, “Mira…Mira are you all right?” The sound of that voice calling out her name almost resembled the poetic melody and chorus of a love song. Her eyes opened with a glare in her vision as she began to focus and stare carefully. Finally, with clear wide-open irises, she realized that she had not been dreaming at all. It was all actually happening and he was actually real.

Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 2.1(wip)

“Hey Sis, you feel that?” asked Sheldon.

“Yeah, I do.”

“I don’t feel anything,” said Michelangelo. Uncle Jack reached up, slapped Michael on the back of his head, and then shushed him.

Desperately I asked, “Where is it coming from, Sheldy?”

“He’s in the domicile,” he said turning and twisting his head, trying to lock in on the location of the familiar sensation.

“That’s not possible; I’ve been here all day. I would have seen him,” I proclaimed.

Jack sighed and put his hand on my shoulder. “You were out for a little bit when you took to pastor and the undertaker to view the plot.”

“You’re right,” I said, as I came into the realization.

“I think…” said Sheldon as he closed his eyes and concentrated. He walked around in a circle and then grabbed my hand, held it and squeezed it tight. “I think he’s in the lab.”
