Chapter 20 Life is like a reunion, and that’s how I first met you. Brownie was thinking about the prose of the Martian poetry in her mind it didn’t seem to make complete sense to her, it seemed somewhat contradictory, the deeper meaning escaped her. How can someone be reunited and meet for the very […]
Chapter 19 It was remarkably quiet. Silent like the calmness that permeates the ether before the eve of the Tempest. The morning mist marched from the fields of lavender wheat down towards the lowland pastures, Hidden in their holes they lingered, their bodies camouflaged, as they laid in wait for the lioness of the Queen’s […]
Chapter 18 Tumjai cast his thoughts back to Those days… the dormant memories lied scattered so far away like shadows. He recalled the small rooms in the embassy that were dimly lit, they were cramped like small interrogation rooms and only scarcely decorated. Amongst the fixtures and fittings were pictures of majestic misty volcanoes that […]
Chapter 17 Brownie stood at the edge of the precipice, the canyon seemed to go On for forever, there didn’t seem to be any bridges, at least there were none that she could see. The skyline was pale blue with only a tinge of pink that showed in the cirrocumulus shaped clouds that spanned the […]

Brownie mulled over the events of the previous 48 hours; it was hard to digest, like something out of a horror movie, it made her head hurt thinking about it. The dusk was encroaching again, and […]
Chapter 11 Sadness prevailed over the sleepy village of Mārin, on every corner there were little candles placed in memorium for those that had fallen. Mothers wept salty tears for their sons that would never again return home. Fathers grieved for their Daughters, no longer would they feel their tiny hands pressed into theirs, or […]
Chapter 10 The sound of steel clanking and panic hung in the air, as people ran frantically for their lives towards the only exit, they were running from their seats toward the entrance, trampling the ones that moved slowly but they were cut down easily anyway.
