Chapter 7 As the king lay down, he knew it was pointless. Another sleepless night. Exhaustion overtook him as images of times past filled his mind; he was standing outside.

Not guts
This year I entered Chico in another Halloween costume contest. We didn’t win. 😢 But I had great fun putting it together. The goal was a raven sitting on his back, pecking his guts out.

Once there was Darkness
Chapter 4 Part 1 ‘Here we go again’, he told himself as he lay down. Kol tossed and turned. As he lay in the bed trying to sleep, he dreamt about the Battle of Youn-der. She had been there.
