Part 1

“Well,” I thought, “Here I am again.”

The music swirled around me as I sat on my little bench, alone as usual. The world of my periphery was a blur of color, music, and laughter. My seat was beginning to feel hard and uncomfortable, and I could smell the currant-wine scented conversation coming [...]

The Flying Angel

Chapter twelve First morning I opened my eyes and I saw the bright light of day. I had had a good night sleep. Great even. I looked at where Christopher was sleeping and he wasn’t there.
