She saw the mix of thoughts reflected on Hippolyte’s face as she considered the new information. The brief moments of fear, then question and finally support seemed to show themselves and Styliani watched closely as Hippolyte quickly smiled and turned to the aggressor, “You, and your tribe have crossed a pact made by us, Gargarean,”Continue reading “Story Time (5)”

Story Time (4)
Styliani remembered the woman clearly and she drew her eyebrows down as she remembered her promise to not allow the Gargareans to know of Adelpha. “The woman you speak of died, as did her daughter,” Styliani said flatly and holding Adelpha, a little too tightly, made her way to leave as Adelpha squeaked in protest.Continue reading “Story Time (4)”
Story Time (3)
Previous – Story Time (2) Styliani’s mind raced. Her first instinct was to protect Adelpha from the Gargarean’s likely attack. She crouched low, in case she needed to drop Adelpha’s sling in a hurry. She frowned at the young man. As her eyes adjusted she saw he was a teenager. Little more than fifteen years old.Continue reading “Story Time (3)”
Story Time (2)
Previous – Story Time (1) Styliani woke and felt the dread that the nightmare had caused, like a lead weight in her gut. She stood and seeing Calla feeding Adelpha with a bottle of goats milk, while making silly faces quietly. She approached and Adelpha’s little face broke into a huge grin upon seeing her.Continue reading “Story Time (2)”

You laugh at first as you realise how tense your muscles have become, then almost gasp as you realise you were holding your breath. You try calm yourself but your eyes dartContinue reading “The Light Creates More Shadows”
Pondering
When my brain is left without anything to focus on, well, I get random thoughts to ponder, here are a couple that come up continuously; 1. Do tone-deaf people not know that they are singing badly, or do they really want the people around them to suffer? I mean, the reason you speak loudly isContinue reading “Pondering”
Education or Ignorance?
So many kids have been left behind, by the system. This is not only an error, but an actual killing of high potential.
