Temple in the Stars – Part 2
Sometimes, the absolute hardest thing to do with a dream is admit it’s time to take a step backwards. Due to circumstances beyond my control, my job has seen fit to require me to drive into the office every day…
Temple in the Stars – Part 1
Last week, I ended with a story entitled “The Children.” I’ve been having some severe difficulties finding traction on any story that isn’t Sci-Fi. I’m not certain of the cause, but my Friday post did not do well at all…
