The Past Catches Up 
     Please, tell me what I need to do.  Yoramel knelt beside the bed, hands clasped and head bowed in prayer.  She nearly shook she poured so much into the plea.  There had to be something more she could do to help.  She just couldn’t figure out what it was.  After all, what could one person do?  Especially now that Xakal was gathering outside the city, too.  There just had to be more she could do.       The priestess lost track of time eventually, until a loud thud interrupted her prayers.  Yoram The Past Catches Up

Going Home 
     She was covered with her own blood.  Her hands were pressed to the wound but she knew it did no good.  She’d screamed at first.  Cried.  Now either the strength had left her or she’d just given in to the inevitable.  This godforsaken road saw few people pass through.  No one was going to save her.  She couldn’t save herself.       So she waited.  She had nothing to quicken the process.  Only time.  Patience.       The sky was clear.&n Going Home

The Inevitable Outcome 
     Yoramel stared at the empty half of her bed as she’d done every morning for the past three months.  She reached out from beneath the blankets to rest a hand on the cold pillow across from her.  As she’d done countless times before, she wondered where he was and what he was doing.  Was he alright?  Was he fighting?  Recovering from a battle?  Had he seen Luthaine yet?       Thinking about it had nearly made her ill at first.  She wasn’t sure if it was a blessing or a curse that now she could ab The Inevitable Outcome

Warmongers 
     Sleep was precious in the camp of the afflicted.  The smoke of campfires hung in the air, unable to cover the smell of nearly thirty unwashed bodies huddled in tattered clothing or blankets.  It wasn't overpowering, but it wasn't pleasant.  There was another, more subtle smell that drifted here and there, however.  It was a phantom smell, here one moment and gone the next.  Those who stayed long with the band began to recognize it all too well.  It was death, creeping just outside the firelight, waiting for someone to stray too near.   & Warmongers

Latest Endeavor

Journal Entry: Mon Oct 15, 2007, 10:25 AM
My latest endeavor into writing is a series of short stories based off the only D&D character I've ever successfully played. It's not only for getting records of events from her life, but also me giving myself an excuse to write.

Each short story is independent. No other needs to be read to understand any of them. There's no specific order. Some things have actually occurred in game, others are flights of fancy of what could happen in the future.


The Trials of Love Series

[link] Warmongers

[link] The Beginning **

[link] The Politics of Love

[link] A Sure Way of Telling

[link] Inspection of Indignities

[link] Remember Remembering

[link] Crisis of Faith

[link] The Past Catches Up *

[link] The Inevitable Outcome

[link] What Could Have Been

[link] A Harsh Lesson

[link] Libertine Politics

[link] Aggrieved Awakening (part 2 of Libertine Politics) **

[link] Drowning in Politics (part 3 of Libertine Politics)

[link] Resolve of a Mother (part 4 of Libertine Politics)



Please do note that I don't want to become known for this kind of writing. I'm not prone to sappy crap like this. Also note I'm aware I suck at titles. Suggestions appreciated.

Living is integral to the story.


"And what is that?"
"Oh, that's just a form of mild dementia."

If I'm not paranoid, something must be wrong.

I know how it goes with the recognition, and this time I'm hoping to actually keep up with the deviations of people I watch.

Why thank you. :) Some day I may get back into doing photo manips, but at this point, I'm just struggling to get back into the swing of things with writing.

Thank you again. :) It's one of the manips (though it's more painting than manip, 'cause I didn't do much other than recolor the thing) I still rather like to look at once in a while.

Oh, you're very welcome! I was so tempted to set it as my desktop, considering I work in a call center that can sometimes run across those during troubleshooting with customers. :D But my current one won.
