Ellna, Daughter of the Leaders | Part 4
Previous Amyra led the others to the shipworker. “Hello. I’m Raean Iarili,” he said in hesitant Rhetian. “You can speak Lilacan,” Amyra said in Lilacan, chuckling. “They all speak it perfectly well, too.” “Quite the fishing trip I shall have today,” Raean said, also laughing. “All right. Here’s the boat. She’s a steady one; no […]
Colors
Written 10/16/09 Underneath everything: A color, lurking, Dimly veiled; Where is it? I ask. I seem to have to have lost that color Hidden in every word Hidden in every number Hidden in these human inventions But yet I know Tan is grey Two is red Four is green 2 is the prettiest letter But […]

Ellna, Daughter of the Leaders | Part 3
Previous Two days later, Ellna was saying good-bye to the Ornod house. She carried her changes of clothes and a few ancient jewelry sets in her bag.

Beach at Night
The moonlight lights the sand and ocean up in a weird way. The world is black and white, with no colors. I like the smell of the sea air and the rolling and crashing of the waves ebbing in and out. The reeds and the sand dunes are absolutely beautiful, too. I like being alone. […]
Keeping Quiet: Tillia
The sun sweeps across a golden land, far, far away. Tillia is watching a cloud, wishing she was up on it. There is nothing to do here, nothing at all. Except starve. It was the worst famine on Lilia Island in many, many years. Tillia wondered if the cloud would bring rain. It was floating […]
Washington, DC
I arrive early afternoon on Saturday. It is warm out, warm enough to be spring despite being early March. We eat lunch and chat. We go for a walk. It is a little muddy out, but outwardly seems more like a day in May or so. S and I play on the swings, acting for […]
