Wild Rose Country - Chapter 10
If I thought I was confused after the little episode of weirdness that occured when Sharra tackled me and sat on my chest, it was nothing compared to what she went through. She actually knew what was happening between us and it scared her. An extremely...
Wild Rose Country - Chapter 16
As spring worked its green magic around us during our recovery from the attack by the bear, our situation didn't seem all that bad. Sure, we were both sore and limited in what we were able to do but we were still alive and the healing process had...
Wild Rose Country - Chapter 7
One by one, Sharra's senses slowly returned to her as she made a slow transition from a deep dreamless sleep to a state that somewhat resembled wakefulness. She lay still for a moment, slightly disoriented. For some reason she was curled up on the...
Wild Rose Country - Chapter 17
At the time I had no idea how to explain my recovery from the fever that by all rights should have killed me. I know now what was responsible but in those days I could only explain it as some sort of miracle. One just does not just spontaneously...
Wild rose Country - Chapter 8
The rising sun hung low over the forested hills to the east, casting a pale yellow light upon the land from behind the obscuring tendrils of low clouds. Shielding her eyes with her paw, Sharra squinted up at the bringer of light and warmth through the...

Wild Rose Country - Chapter 19

Wild Rose Country - Chapter 9
The beginning of April can be a wonderful time of year. Daytime temperatures finally crawl up to lurk around the freezing point and the short, dark days of winter are fading into memory. The realization that warmer weather lies just around the...
Wild Rose Country - Chapter 2
I have a fleeting memory of light. It was dim, hazy, ill-defined and laced with intermingled shadows, but nevertheless, it was light. There is a definite memory of pain there as well. It felt like someone was crawling around inside my skull and...
