We were back. I could not say exactly how, but we were. It was like no time had passed. Doreen and Marsha were still in the same place. “I have her!” Doreen said. “She is here in this room.” “We did it!” Doreen continued. Marsha gasped, thinking that Doreen was talking to her, but I…
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,…

If energy could destroy whole towns in an earthquake or storm…I knew that I could manipulate things…change things. This is what I thought about as I stood at my alchemy table studying and learning. If I was still here;…
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…
