Kali wrote about the word wonder 2 years ago
Curiosity gets the better of her, and she sets her shoulder to the double doors and pushes with all her might. They open onto a field of summer flowers and sunshine, blue skies and warm green grass, and all she can do is wonder how something like this is possible in the dead of winter [...]

Kali wrote about the word train 2 years ago
He sits in the window seat and stares out at the green countryside and the impossibly blue sky above it.

He turns [...]

Kali wrote about the word moon 2 years, 9 months ago
The moon was a crimson red, and it chilled him to the bone. “Knights of Asgard! To me!” he cried, crashing his sword against his shield to draw their attention. “To me, men!” He heard the drowsy grumbles–that he was a crazy superstitious man who refused to let his subordinates sleep–but how could mere superstition [...]
