very cool!
unfortunately the links to download the cd .iso are broken, but this is a very cool service!
i've liked project gutenberg for years, this is definitely right down their alley.
Thanks!
i really like this, for a multitude of reasons. wind caressing - beautifully evocative.
isn't this one of the loneliest of feelings?
an excellent question, dropped into the middle of a fluidly descriptive moment.
interesting.
quite a conflict between "take me away" and "i'm getting out of here".
if there's someone you trust to get you out, go for it.. but don't underestimate the power of your own two feet. =)
wow.
nothing really to say here but that i found myself reading and nodding and thinking "i honestly never thought i'd ever see anyone else say any of that."
wonderfully done.
one thing which caught my eye all the way through - shouldn't "souls" be possessive - soul's?
absolutely wonderful, may i snag a copy, please?
*meep!!*
Ayshela stands very still as the butterflies swoop around, teasing and tormenting everyone in the area. Eventually, as they tire, they come to rest on the only still person around until Ayshela begins to resemble a butterfly tree.
*giggle*
Welcome back! *hugs*
suh-weet! if we're not mid-birthday stuff here still will definitely tune in again.
*wanders off mumbling incoherently something about where the heck did she see that contact info stuff*
perhaps to not crush the fleeting fragments of hope which remain?
if you fall and there IS someone there, then that's a lovely surprise..
which is quite a different thing from reaching out on your way down and finding no one.
YAY!! a Rune sighting!!!
*huggles*
Miss seeing you around here!
*huggles*
You left awfully big shoes to fill, for such a little one. =)
(good thing Orlan has such big feet, eh?)
mmm perhaps true, but better, i think, to not find out for sure that when you reach out no one's there. as long as you don't reach out you can still think there might be..
the "walls of the pen" are up at the very top of the page by where it says "logged in as:" and for me they do show up on every page. are you not seeing them, somewhere?
Alone
Hold tightly, small one,
your hands to your side.
Or wrap around tightly,
your warm heart to hide.
Run swiftly - be careful!
Don't stumble, don't fall.
This way you won't know
no one's there, at all.
Ayshela looks over Stick's invoice and considers the possibility that his tutoring session with Wyvern on "How to make geld" might have been a serious mistake. Thinking again, she decides that any (un)reasonable way to be rid of her brothers couldn't be ALL bad, and sets off in search of blunt objects and very large sacks..
your imagery is always astonishingly *right*, precisely fitting. being able to pop in and read something new of yours is like a reward for having waded through my piles of stuff. thank you. =)
one thing that caught me on this on every read through -
this seems incomplete, as if you're giving the setting but the action is missing - and yet it's closed off with a period and separated from that which follows.
i love this piece for reasons i simply won't go into, but this particular place it's like skipping down the steps and suddenly missing a tread. =)
