A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.

The Nymphs of Alpheia
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. Nora witnessed it herself. Hushed voices and frantic footsteps roused her from her sleep in the early morning hours of that day. The glow of candlelight danced along the bottom edge of her bedroom door. Nora's heart leaped and lodged itself into her throat. Sharp whispers poked holes in Nora's resolve as she jumped from her bed and swung open the door. The unruly curls of her ginger brown hair bounced against her warm cheeks. The Queen's lady and the late King's advisor turned at Nora's unexpected appearance.

How Time Blurs
Time blurs as the days bleed together. Each day is a continuation, a reliving of the previous day. Not much changes when you are stuck in a perpetual state of waiting. The gold lettering stitched into the navy carpet lining the floor of the elevator reminds you it is Sunday; the second Sunday in this elevator. Such simple things are often forgotten in a twilight space. Somehow, you move forward as an unknown force shepherds you along the path with an undesirable destination.

Sleepwalk
The brakes of the Subaru shrieked as Will crept to a stop and threw the transmission into park. Emma didn't know where they were. Will had instructed her to keep her eyes closed. The giddy smile on Will's face when they left their apartment had her nerves frayed. Will loved surprises, but anything unexpected pulled at the perpetual knot tangled in Emma's stomach.
