The God Child: Chapter 6 The Seraph
That night, Nomad woke up to someone singing. He had never heard the song before but it’s melody awoke something inside of him. It sounded like a chant almost but with more variation. Nomad followed the singing out into the room where Erick’s blanket still lay crumpled on the floor. He turned to see if…

The God Child: Chapter 5 Progress
Over the next few days, Erick and Nomad got out of the habit of guarding their minds from one another and much of their conversations transitioned into their minds rather than out loud. “It’s a good thing we don’t have neighbors.” Erick commented as Nomad’s shield exploded for the third time that day.

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 7

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 6
Thursday When he awoke, Erick lay there on his cot for a long while. With all the windows and doors boarded up the interior stayed fairly dark, though to his eyes it remained gray, not quite fading out of sight. All the while that he lay there, he went over in his mind what his…

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 5
Wednesday A network of canals and smaller ditches wove through town and Erick had found a large culvert that was mostly dry where he could hide out in and spent the night there. A thin rivulet of water ran down the very bottom of the culvert but there was plenty of space on either side…
