Chapter 23 The morning was colder than it had been recently. The skies were gloomy and overcast. The only other signs of life were the black shapes of the birds above the horizon. They ascended over the river in a delta formation as the ships Slowly drifted until. Eventually, they found their moorings at the […]
Chapter 22 The four of them scurried along the twisty turny narrow alleyways of the city. Running under open skies and archways like harvest mice as their hair and garments rustled like streamers that followed their path closely through the air until at last, they found themselves standing still at a small unfrequented square. Amongst […]
Chapter 21 The light was blinding as Brownie wandered attached to the others like a human/animal chain, she could hear a ringing in her ears from far away as the first sensation that hit her was the cool breeze and the sound of the ocean. The smell of the briny sea Found her nostrils as […]
Chapter 20 Life is like a reunion, and that’s how I first met you.
