Greetings, companions. Every year, I come back to my high school band camp as an instructor. This year is no different. For the next week, I will be very busy most hours of the day, and I'll probably be using my down time to rest. There likely won't be any posts this week, and if … Continue reading Band Camp!

“Héan?” Reid whispered into the darkness. “Héan, are you there?” “I am always here, Reid.” Hèan’s voice came from somewhere nearby. Reid’s ears could pinpoint the source.
