Title: Soothsayer Chapter 12, Part 1.
***
“In every walk with
nature one receives far more than he seeks.” – John Muir
It took
us two days to get through Missouri, Oklahoma, a sliver of Texas and finally
end up in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Two days for what should have been a
fourteen-hour drive, because ha-fucking-ha, there was no way I should have
expected Sören to sit in the passenger seat and play with the Nintendo. No. He
preferred to Google bad roadside attractions with his phone and then compel me
to go there by bitching non-stop, or occasionally just staring at me with
cloudy purple eyes until I gave in. Not that I could give in, because—hello—no
distinguishing locations, which led to several arguments before he gave up.
“Next time,” I swore to him, “after
we’re not being hunted down by your dad’s soothsayer, I’ll let you plan a road
trip and we’ll waste time all over the country, but for now we just can’t. Not
if we don’t want your brothers crashing the party.” I let him read to me about
them as a poor substitute for seeing them in person.
Ooh, this is getting so twisty and turny, I'm thinking I'm going to have to go back and re-read...
ReplyDeleteAnd did I hear mention of a new Cody/Ten vignette? Happy very early birthday present, Batman! :-)
The vignette is coming, my schedule has been insane, but when it does come I hope you enjoy. And I know, so twisty, so turny...it's about to get even more so, my brain better not lock up.
Deletehi, Cari:
ReplyDeleteEvery day I´m surprised more of your talent. Although I lost part of the story for my poor knowledge of english,I really enjoy with it.
Thanks :)
Thank you Maria! Hope you like the next part too.

ReplyDeleteThe panic gives it all away :) The next few parts are going to get crazy, so there'll be plenty of panic to go around.
