There are not many candidates that I can put forth, as I usually don’t leave the house. So it’s down to visitors, either masked or no.Two possible instances, one more likely than the other. I’ll add in the timeline as I go.The first event was a family get together on Oct. 10.There were 10 ofContinue reading “How’d I get it?”

And there came a time when the mysterious, ancient Kal-tu warrior priests became aware of an energy. A power unlike any seen in the west or east. When, after years of searching, they found this new life force, they were aghast at its potential. Evidently, this person could summon his living chi to light thisContinue reading “The Iron Finger”

So….update. Full disclosure, as I have done all year long in the blog.Granted, not a great thanksgiving.

For whatever reason, I was awake, rolling over, worrying about something stupid, trying to get comfortable when I heard… something.  Downstairs. NOW I was awake. I didn’t know what the sound was, couldn’t make it out. It might have beenContinue reading “A sound in the night”
