Hello again, ,


It just goes to show that one should not send out newsletters when one's children are doing their best to be a distraction. Here's the excerpt I forgot to insert:


Today's excerpt

But my breath caught as something cold and moist clasped my ankle. Shivers ran through my body. I looked down: a tongue of mist had wrapped around my leg. I glanced behind me: a milk-white blanket covered the path. Ahead, the same. I had never seen mist move so quickly.


The realization that I had missed important signs burst in my mind. The darkness between the tree trunks hung thicker; the pines chanted in hissing notes; a thin reek of moist decay laced the air.


(This is from a story that will never get published. This part is good, though.)


Something else learned

Yeah, that thing about the children.


Over and out!

Adriana
