#Amwriting A Novel: Thin Line of Life – Chapter 1 (sampler)

“Chief!” a snappy voice echoed around the dark room. It startled Malera, who was hunched in front of her holoscreen.

She was daydreaming again. This cannot be good, at all. Especially at work. She just cannot dream away the day.

The woman glanced out of the darkened windows for confirmation. The day was over and she had slept through the evening hours.

This kind of behavior was not good for The Assistant Chief of Security Forces of Lysandria. It has never been a good idea. But this is the second time in this year she has caught herself doing that. Working in the Security Department should be rewarding and challenging job for a person like her. But here she was, sleeping away the day.

“Chief Malera! You have to see this!” the annoying high pitched noise emerged again, stirring her from her thoughts.

“I’m coming, coming,” the brown haired woman grumbled and stood up from her desk, while rubbing away the sleep from her eyes. “This better be something good.”

Mind of Green

Going trough

 this narrow road.

Trees and forest

are passing me by.

#amwriting: a Poem #2

Over the hills of Joy

 

Over the hills of Joy,

I am away.

Away from this earth,

far from this dirt.

 

The trip to there is easy.

so dont be lazy.

Close to the Flame

 

Close to the flame,

It’s so warm in here.

Bad thougths are drifting away.

And I feel better inside.

She walked slowly up the hill. The journey seemed long and hard, but she continued it anyway. She had a purpose. She needed to go up, she needed to see. Step by step, purposefully, she made her way up. Grass was cutting her ankles, making her feet itch. She didn’t yield to the need to bend down and scratch the cuts. No. She was too busy walking, thinking, seeing, feeling.

She smiled when she saw the spot at the top of the hill. It was her place, her sanctuary. She had missed this place oh so much. Her pace quickened and soon enough she was already there. The happiness bubbled to the surface and she sighed contently, sitting down to the favourite spot in the world. Closing her eyes for a moment, she thanked the universe that she finally made it there.

Opening her eyes, she saw her surroundings. The things that made her always feel better. The landscape that made her heart flutter every time she saw it.
