Take Me Away: Chapter 14Leaidy fell asleep on the piano that evening, with her head on her arms, which rested on the keys. When the five of them had gotten home, she had secluded herself in the room with instruments, to think while she played. Her mind focused and she was more relaxed while she was playing an instrument.Rick carried her into the front room and laid her down on the couch. He made sure she was comfortable, and remained at the side of the sofa. He smiled at her form, being reminded of his young daughter. Rick knew the love between a child and their guardians, and he felt pity for the teenager. How much she must miss her family, especially when she di
Take Me Away: Chapter 12Rick meditated the girl's advice for a moment as he stood in his room. "I'll see what they're up to. I'm sure a compromise or something can be done about this," he decided, and Leaidy once more felt that urgency to keep him near. Every time she felt it, she felt shameful. What kind of person was she, trying to have him for herself? It just wasn't RIGHT.Leaidy turned and pressed her face into Rick's clean shirt.

Woman shirt, and as she turned to free her sleeve a sparkling shape was taking form in front of her. She gasped as the glittering light condensed, then took the shape of a person. Leaidy stepped back as it darkened, revealing Syd standing there before her. She caught her breath."I spent the night out in these woods once," he said, taking a half step and looking up through the trees. The filtered sunlight made spots on his shirt and dark brown hair. Leaidy glared at him and folded her arms."Don't D
Take Me Away: Chapter 10The band got home that night to find Leaidy asleep on the couch. She had drifted off earlier while thinking about Syd, and what he had told her. "I'm really here," she remembered his voice saying. But how was 1967 Syd talking to her in 1973? And how did he know all that information about the future, and Leaidy's time, and even the band's activities?It hurt her head. She didn't understand the rest of it. She understood now why she was in this time period and what she had to do, but everything else was a confusing mystery. So much so, that it put her to sleep trying to figure it out.Roger stood in the doorway of the kitchen, using the fadin
What In The WorldI created them when I was about seven. I always have loved horses my whole life, so it was only fitting that when I was little I had an imaginary herd of horses that went with me everywhere. They could change size and grow wings and fly and walk through things and jump up to/across any height/width and pretty much do anything.But mostly, they were invincible.Later I added unicorns to my imaginary herd. I also had four designated for the four main elements of nature, which joined the herd in their own time. Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. Fire was a red unicorn, with every part of his body red, Water was blue, Earth was green, and Wind was w
