I was spinning fast. I closed my eyes to avoid getting dizzy. Then I fell. I stood still to readjust myself. I still felt wobbly and out of sorts. I was in a different place. A bright light captured my attention and I knew that I was supposed to follow it. …
I rose the next morning with Robert on my mind; wondering how the rest of his night went. He had already left by that time, so I ate my breakfast alone. A few days ago I would have been happy that he was gone, but after the heartbreaking blow he received last night,…
Either Robert wasn’t the type to dwell in heartbreak too long, or he was used to it and had learned to hide it really well. When we got back to the house, he sort of went about his evening like normal. Maybe he had already seen this coming and had already mourned the loss of…

It didn’t take me long to discover that Robert was a early riser. By the time I finally came out of the guest bedroom, he had already eaten breakfast and started working on his computer. I was never an early riser and death did not change that. Although I didn’t really sleep…
I knew the first place to look for my alchemy table, but decided to stop and pick up a few ingredients first. The large bugs would come in handy with some of the potions that I would be mixing. Unable to avoid it any longer, I headed down into the basement. The basement was extra…
