Day Forty-Three (2 of 5)

Day Forty-Three (1 of 5)
Serious doubts grow within me. Doubts about my companions, about our group as a whole – and second thoughts about my place on this team. This should have been a straightforward assignment from Gavin and Yissic. It has turned out … Continue reading

An hour has passed since the last entry. Sunrise is coming. The sky already shows signs. I have eaten a bit and drank some clean water. Awake with me are Xel’Xaran and Pulp. Both tend to the sleeping wounded. Both … Continue reading
Day Forty-Two (1 of 5)
There is a lot on my mind. I can’t separate the nightmare images in my sleep last night from what actually did happen yesterday. They are one and the same. It is early on what I would call “day forty-three”. … Continue reading
