![]() I hope you all get to enjoy the full moon tonight… And for those of you who are in some form of lockdown/quarantine/other emergency situations, then I’m right here with you! In fact, it’s snowing where I am right now to make matters worse. If I was an apocalypse author, I would be very happy right about now! Hahaha I hope you are all well and that none of you get sick! |
Writer Update!I am just a few words away from finishing Allegra Episode Four! This episode has been very entertaining to write, and the series is nearing full-sprint! What has been the most exciting for me since my last email has been reading the new reviews I have gotten! I would like to thank all of you who took me up on my invitation last week, your involvement has really helped me and my book’s rankings! I now have four reviews on my Allegra series on Amazon and one on both Goodreads and Bookbub. I also have several people who have reviews in the works, and I’m excited to see what they have to say! So, Thank You all! Your help has been super helpful. đ Once again, if anyone else is willing to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. A simple “Cool book” is enough to help my book survive. Here’s the link where you can get the review copy because I still need more reviews! Ten reviews is oftentimes seen as the minimum required reviews for a book to been seen as “legit.” https://storyoriginapp.com/reviewcopies/092b8809-2e3b-4599-b1fb-2bdfda9e25c6Short Story! After far too long, here’s chapter six of Accolade! I hope you all enjoy it, and I would love to hear what you all think of it! Accolade Chapter Six Paradise, Galatia âThat wasnât one of my best landings,â The pilot in front of Gideon mutters after a long, unsteady breath.âYou did fine,â Hayes assures the man as she releases her white-knuckled grip from a nearby rail. Looking to Gideon, she continues with a friendly smile, âWelcome to Paradise, Gideon.ââThanks,â Gideon manages as he tries to let go of a handle he had used to stay upright during the crash landing. His knees buckle slightly, and he resolves to continue hanging on to his handhold.âLooks like we are ahead of schedule,â Hayes offers with a lighthearted chuckle.âThatâs got t be a record,â The pilot agrees with a laugh.Evidentially, Hayes keeps her crewâs morale was always up, Gideon thinks to himself, Or, they are just crazy. Gideon looks over to the Commander and scans her face for several moments before he manages to add his own joke, âBest flight Iâve ever had,âThe pilot looks back to Gideon with a look of surprise. Judging by his expression, Gideon wasnât supposed to be out and about, much less in the cockpit. The pilot quickly recovers and laughs. After a beat, he says, âIâm glad you liked it,ââFollow me, Gideon,â Hayes instructs as she turns toward the rear of the cockpit. Gideon silently follows her, curious as to what she had to say.âCommander,â A soldier acknowledges Hayes as she walks by. The soldier sounded a lot like the one named Clo that Gideon had overheard earlier. She looked like she had been caught in part of the explosion that had nearly brought the hovercraft down. Clo continues speaking after gently biting her lip, âIf they donât get us a new ship, weâll be stuck here for several weeks. Our shipâs pretty banged up.ââIâm fine staying here for a while,â Hayes smiles.âJacksonâs gone,â Clo announces as she stares at the ground, âI saw him die.ââOh, Iâm so sorry, Clo,â Hayes whispers as she draws Clo into a hug. She holds Clo for several beats before pulling away, âIf thereâs anything I can doâââNo,â Clo cuts her off, âI donât want you to be in any more hot water.âHayes looks like she is about to say something before she promptly walks off, continuing down the corridor. Gideon sheepishly looks away from Clo, who is still sulking as he scampers after Hayes.âThose damn savages did this,â Hayes mutters once Gideon finally catches up to her.âSavages?â Gideon inquires. He had heard of the mutants, but never of any savages. After a beat, Gideon presses, âWhatâs a âsavage?âââTheyâre the people who live outside of our Domes,â Hayes replies with a bitter look on her face. Shaking her head, she continues, âTheyâre mostly rebels and terrorists. Theyâve been attacking our ships for some time nowâŚââWhat?â Gideon asks when Hayes trails off. She had stopped at a doorway and pressed her hand against the cool steel. Gideon shifts slightly to get a look at the Commanderâs face, and he notes that a few tears are streaming down her face.âThey killed my husband,â She mutters before wiping her face and returning to her usual bolt-upright posture. Now that she had regained her composure, she continues, âWhen they informed us, Sylvia left home. I didnât know she left until the local garrison contacted me. They sent her here without even asking me, I never got to say goodbye.ââThey did the same to me,â Gideon offers. He doubted his words helped, but he felt like they needed to be said. After a beat, Gideon asks, âWhy canât you talk to her yourself?ââMy superiors wonât allow it,â Hayes replies as she guides Gideon to another door. Opening it, she continues, âThey threatened to take my other children if I spoke to her. I canât risk losing anyone else.ââAhâŚâ Gideon nods slowly, understanding the Commanderâs predicament. He looks around as Hayes ushers him into a bleak-looking room. The walls are all grey, just like the floor and ceiling. The only color that graces the room is provided by a drab green pack that is sitting on a table in the middle of the room. Gideon takes a seat in a chair she is pointing to and looks over to her expectantly.âThis is all I can do for you now,â Hayes starts as she opens up the bag. She continues as she removes the bagâs content, piece by piece, âThe others wonât have very much equipment. I ensured that you would have everything they might be missing. That includes a shovel, some knives, tarps, and several flashlights. As you can see, thereâs a lot more too.ââThanks,â Gideon nods in appreciation of the large variety of gear.âAll I ask in return is that you keep my daughter safe,â Hayes whispers barely loud enough to be heard, her eyes pleading with Gideon, âMy husband is dead, but you can save my daughter.âGideon offers a slight nod as he tries to push down his own anxiety. He stares blankly at the large backpack before him which represented his only chance of survival. If a career soldier like the Commander was afraid of the world beyond the protection of the Domes, then Gideon had even more reason to be terrified.âDirector Stone would like to see you, Commander,â A voice reports over the shipâs PA system.âGideon, thereâs a lot you donât know about,â Hayes says in a rushed whisper, âYou saw what the Coalition does to people who they think know anything. But I need you to know that not everyone outside of the Domes are savages, some of them are friendly. However, donât count on that. And donât count on anyoneâs loyalty either, that will get you killed faster than any hybrid could.ââThe Director is waiting, Commander,â The PA continues after a few beats.âTell my daughter I love her, and that Iâm coming for her,â Hayes whimpers as her lips quiver slightly. She quickly repacks Gideonâs pack, and pauses as she pulls a small bag from her uniform, âAnd please make sure she gets this.âGideon nods dumbly, which appeases the Commander. She mouths the words âThank Youâ to Gideon before retreating back into the corridor they had come from. Evidentially, she was more afraid of what this Director would do to her and her family than anything else.âWhat have I gotten myself into?â Gideon asks himself as he lets his head drop. He absently rubs his face as he struggles to make sense of everything that had transpired since he had been arrested. Weekly Promo!
