Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 1(wip)

I stood there cold, shivering, and sulking staring out the viewing portal of my quarter. I’d placed my face so close to the plastic pane that I could fog it up with the subtle blowing of my trembling breath. I was trying to focus on anything I could to keep myself from crying yet again, a task that had begun to offer me a weird kind of comfort. I was so tired of crying, but what could I really do about it; I was sad and grieving. I looked down and watched as the day laborers were struggling to set up the tents and move in chairs, in the midst of the torrential downpour that was pounding against them.

6 Sentence Sunday 9: ECB

This is a weekly meme hosted and originated by 6 Sentence Sunday.

Eternal Curse: Battleground-6 sentences from chapter 2 (a work in progress).

I was still in shock. My mind and body had never known of such pleasure and joy; if I hadn’t been so happy I would have thought I was dreaming. That was the first time in my life I was actually glad I’d always had such horrible nightmares because it meant that the happiness I was experiencing was really real. I could never have dreamed up such wonderful things.

I sat up in the bed, early that morning and just watched Mira sleep. Cradled in the comfort of our silky, warm, and exhausted sheets, I happily stared at Mira in the half-light of cracked blinds.
