NM #2 ~ Sitting

T #1 - Headspace
It was a warm and sunny day, late in the summer when the cool chill of fall waited patiently just around the corner. A perfect day to be outside in the fresh air; the children were playing, the birds sang, and the village bustled with life. The...
NM #1 ~ Comfort
The door clicked as Mela unlocked it and stepped into the house. She set her duffle bag on the floor before announcing herself. "Honey I'm home!" she called facetiously. Making her way to the kitchen, she peeked into the living room to see Niv...
LLST #10 ~ In Dreams

LLST #11 ~ Novelties
It was another bright, sunny day in Val'En as Mela approached one of her favorite stops on the market street. Wedged into an alcove was a little stall run by a lovely old Lorean woman; mostly small trinkets...
