Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 4 (wip)

I approached the man trying to distract him, which I did, but not in the way I’d planned. When the gunman noticed me walking towards him, he became startled at my appearance. He turned and fired his gun without even looking. The young couple took the opportunity to run away in the opposite direction. The gunman fired twice; one shot hit the viewing portal of a transport parked next the curb and the other shot hit me. I hadn’t been shot in over seventy-five years. I’d forgotten how it felt. The bullet sped through the air making contact with my skin, causing it to stretch and bruise. The shot was fired close enough that when the bullet finally stopped, it lay rested in an indentation on my arm.

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 4.5 (wip)

Mira thought to herself that the house was decorated very simply and elegantly, but overall the house had a somewhat cold feeling to it. At first Mira couldn’t quite pinpoint why she had this notion, but then it came to her. Mira realized that there were no pictures of people anywhere in the house. There were no family photos in frames or in albums, and there were no wall paintings with people in them. There were barely any mirrors in the whole place. For some reason, one or both of these men didn’t want to even see people. Mira began to wonder where these men’s families were and why they were hiding away from the rest of the world.

Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 3.2 (wip)

Just as Mira sometimes needed a little more to be happy living at Sinclair Manor, I sometimes needed a little more to feel fulfilled in my purpose and calling. I never tried to hide anything from Mira, but I did always try to protect her feelings, even though she was stronger than even I sometimes gave her credit for. I told Mira of my intentions to reach out and help people. Mira wasn’t afraid that I’d get hurt or even that I would hurt someone else, but she had so many concerns. She unconditionally trusted in my ability to control my actions, but she feared for the unknown.
