The demon stood above its victim, the weapon covered in the child’s blood. “The Dark strikes again,” he crowed as his hand arced down to deliver another slashing cut to the boy’s abdomen. The child coughed weakly, spilling more of his Life Essence on the ground. “It’s over, kid,” Viktorio grated quietly.

Brendyn’s back was aching as he crawled on his hands and knees into the vine shelter. “Over there,” a voice whispered, and he allowed himself to be led in the right direction.
All of a sudden, he stopped, staring with wide eyes at the patch of matted earth beneath his fingers. “No,” he whispered, horrified.
A look up confirmed his worst fears: strands upon strands of human organs. The seven-year-old gulped, tears forming behind his lids. He blinked a few times, but that only served to make the tears come, not push them back.

TIME ONCE AGAIN FOR A CHECK OF MY RECIPES
Then, tomorrow, and in the next few days, I look for more
If anyone knows a good microwave recipe, let me know

Time for some poetry
======
ACCEPTANCE (2009)
For the first time
In my young life,
I feel that I belong;
In this cold world
There is a place
That I can call my own.
For many years I ran and ran,
Denying what I knew
Until, one day, an inner voice
Stopped me in my tracks:
“What are you so frightened of?”
And it was there, in that place,
I learned that true acceptance
Is a gift
That only I can give.

DON'T HURT ME IF I'M DIFFERENT (2009)
======
Don’t hurt me if I’m different!
Can’t you see I’m human, too?
I only want to know you,
To live my life the best I can;
Why does nobody care?

FLASHBACK (2009)
======
Fear clamps its iron hand around my heart,
Steals the breath from my lungs;
My eyes stare straight ahead,
Hands clench into fists.
The details fade in time,
But terror still remains;
I’m drowning in the sea,
Grasping only air.

HOPE EVERLASTING (2009)
======
I know you're feeling lonely
And like no one cares
But rest assured we're here:
People just like you-
Lost, scared, alone.
No matter how bleak,
No matter how dark,
No matter how dreary,
Hope is always there.
Feel that?
It is the summer's wind
Offering its assistance;
Smell that?
It's the flowers
Giving their protection;
Hear that?
Those are the sounds of love everlasting,
Love for you, for me, the world, the universe.

I WANT THE TRUTH (2009)
======
I want the truth
And nothing less,
So give it to me straight;
I have so many questions
And cannot bear to wait.

INNOCENCE (2009)
======
Sweet little girl,
Just four years old,
Your eyes alight with wonder:
In time that all will change
As misfortune takes its toll.
No one so young
Should have to see
The things that you have seen;
No one so young
Should have to deal
With cruelty, pain and greed.
------
This yearI set it to music, incorporating it into my story and adding another verse (for a male character)

MATH (2009)
======
I’m sick of doing math,
Although it helps me learn;
Why torture me this way:
All for a letter grade?

TRAPPED (2009)
======
I feel so trapped
Just like a deer,
Or other wounded creature;
Just on the edge
Of the abyss:
Toes clawing for a hold.

Those drafts I wrote the past few days will remain incomplete, like all the others
I can't seem to stop changing details
Oh, the curse of being a bloody writer :(

It's back up to 96 bloody degrees :( (Pardon me, I'm on a roll) [It's hard not to be mad when it's so sticky in here, and yu know the AC's on, but it doesn't feel like it, and you know it's that much hotter and stickier outside, and you're trying to concentrate on stuff, and you seem to have the attention span of a thre-year-old]

In weather like this, everyone's got the attention span of a three-year-old.
Music too? Ooh clever!

Thanks, Lesley.
That stupid Dachelor party's tomorrow, and unless the humidity breaks it'll be as unbearable (if not worse) than today. Just the thought of going out makes me sick :( I might have to make some excuse so I don't have to. The worst part would be being cooped up in the car for an hour or so each way.

I just combined the last two drafts of "Abduction" I wrote, and put them in another folder
======
“It’s heating up,” Sevahriano announced firmly, “time to pack up and leave.” Orvessano, his adopted five-year-old son, groaned softly. He’d been enjoying this picnic and didn’t want it to end. Reluctantly, he joined his aunt and half brother by the park’s entrance.

“Has anyone seen Orseviyto,” Sorvahnia asked. Orvessano gazed around himself, trying to ignore a trickle of fear that made its way down his back. His eyes flew to his adoptive father’s. Only Orehlio seemed unbothered by his twin’s absence. HE’S TOO YOUNG TO GET IT, Orvessano thought, and found himself staring toward the nearby woods. Had Orseviyto crawled in that direction to get out of the sun? Had he encountered danger there? Or was he just taking a nap, oblivious to the worry he was causing everyone? JUST YOU WAIT, ORSEVIYTO, he thought hotly.
Sorvahnia Orseveyno tried to still the trembling in her fingers. PLEASE, LET ORSEVIYTO BE SAFE, she prayed silently. Then she turned her attention to the two nephews who were right there with her, one obviously scared despite his attempt not to show it, the other too young but reacting to the alarm nonetheless. “Don’t cry, Orehlio,” she soothed, picking the three-year-old up and hugging him close. She glanced over her shoulder to Orvessano. “Wherever he is, we’ll find him,” she promised, amazed at how calm her voice sounded.

The King of Scenoria felt his face go red in an uncharacteristic display of temper. “I’m telling you, Orseviyto wouldn’t do that. Sure, he’s been known to go off by himself, but he wouldn’t just disappear for hours on end!”
The man across from him laid a soothing hand on his arm. “Isn’t it possible he missed hearing you call the children together? He could have fallen asleep and—“
“No!” Sevahriano interrupted forcefully. “Assume he went looking for shelter from the scorching sun if you wish, but—“
“Depending how tired he was—“
“No,” the monarch said again.
“How do you know,” the other persisted. “He—“
“I don’t know what stories my adoptive son’s been filling your head with, but Orseviyto’s NOT one to go running off and lose himself—“
“Toddlers are curious of their environment, and your twins are no different,” the man said soothingly. “I’m not saying he planned it, but your son clearly got curious, or was searching for something, and then maybe he got tired. It would have been easy for him not to hear you when—“
“Stop,” Sevahriano cried, so furious now he could barely think straight, “that’s NOT how it happened! Orseviyto’s not a sound sleeper, so the faintest noise wakes him. Even were he exhausted, he would have responded to my call if he were in the area.”

“Then he wandered farther than shouting distance. He’s three years old, and kids that age do that sort of thing all the time.”
Sevahriano nearly said what came to his mind, but snapped his mouth shut like a trap. This argument was getting them nowhere. “I’d better talk to the searchers,” he said shortly.
“I’m truly sorry, Your Highness,” the man murmured, “truly I am, but legally my hands are tied. There’s nothing I can do at this early stage—“
“When then,” the king demanded.
“Tomorrow, if your son hasn’t turned up, my patrollers and I will step in.”
“Then it looks like we’ll be in touch.”
