Goodnight – A Senryu?

Let sunlight hold you; no nightmare can behold you; sleep now, dreams shield you. Fly amid the stars where wishes made become true; wake to wish granted. Sunlight breaks gently on your brow and embraces dreams as it enfolds. Continue reading Goodnight – A Senryu?

A tug on his arm yanked … Continue reading Curse Breaker | Tell me

Explain that the tight confines of the tunnel had left no room to maneuver? Why bother when anything he said would sound like an excuse. No one ever believed him. Sarn regarded his fists that bore not a single scratch because … Continue reading Interrogation | Curse Breaker

Melinda Kucsera

Curse Breaker | Blindly Seeking One day Sarn would discover what had happened to the Litherians. The answer lay hidden in the depths of their last public work–Mount Eredren.

Sunlight reached out and touched a warm finger to the tip of his nose and tempted him to … Continue reading Blindly Seeking | Curse Breaker
