Greetings, friends. The next few entries on Daydreams are going to be slightly different from others, though perhaps not to such a degree that anyone might notice if I didn’t mention it. Still, I thought it would still be worthwhile to give this preface. Over two years ago, I began a Dungeons and Dragons campaign … Continue reading The Orua Campaign
Hello friends. Due to the hectic nature of the holiday season, posts on Daydreams will be sparse and short at least until the first of the year. Thank you all for reading. I appreciate each one of you.
Gifts
I love to give gifts, but I am not good at it. I'm not particularly crafty. I like to make things — I take pleasure in creating; that's why I write. Perhaps I could be good at knitting or sewing or woodworking, if I put in the effort. But I haven't, and so my skill … Continue reading Gifts
The Darkness
It began as a little pool of darkness in the corner of my office. At first, I thought it was merely a shadow like all the others, cast by the door or my chair or the leaf stuck to the outside of my window by a spider’s web. As the light shifted from morning to … Continue reading The Darkness
Gloria’s Baby
Gloria loves her baby. He is the meaning in her life; he is that which defines why she lives, and he is what she lives for. She can think of nothing else in her life that has ever meant as much as him: not her parents, not her siblings or her grandparents, and not any … Continue reading Gloria’s Baby
Cylpher the Righteous
My church cast me aside, but my god had not abandoned me. His power still stirred within my soul, strong and thumming. I felt its coursing strength begging to be unleashed upon his enemies. Through its force, I knew of his desires. His foes must be destroyed, and I was the tool by which he … Continue reading Cylpher the Righteous
D&D: Avenon
I get the opportunity to play Dungeons and Dragons with a friend on Sunday. It will be my first chance to play a character, rather than guide the adventure, in quite some time. I ended up using my writing time today working on that character (oops), so here's a little bit about him. Avenon is … Continue reading D&D: Avenon
Question
“Teri.” That name, more than any other, is not normally hard to speak. Justine’s connection to Teri is deep and full of history. Justine does not like people, and she doesn’t often speak to them or let them into their lives. Teri is an exception, but this utterance is different. Behind it, days of thoughts … Continue reading Question
Get Lost
She said to me, “Let’s go get lost in the woods.” I loved her, and so I followed her, as one does. She led me through the dappled light, laughing and smiling, because she is the sort of person who likes to be lost. There are people who always want to know right where they … Continue reading Get Lost
Ocean
Have you heard about the boy who went down to the ocean? They say he never came back. He went down to see the beach, and to dip his toes in the water. He told his momma he wanted to see what it was like. Well, he went down there, and she never saw him … Continue reading Ocean
