Sometime Last Week Chapter 8: Welcome

ByLouise Warren July 1, 2016

    Of course it comes back to the shepherd. What is he doing right now? No, I’m more interested in the cave. That hill in the distance. I wonder how long it would take to walk there. I think it’s too late right now, but tomorrow, I’m going to hike over there. Should I…

Sometime Last Week Part 7

ByLouise Warren April 1, 2016

Friendship is Magic   I turn back, but the shepherd is trekking back across his field, toward his rock. Did he mean my mother is proud of me? Did I mishear him? I must have. Or maybe he does know of the Margravine. Perhaps the birds have been speaking to others. I never thought of…

Sometime Last Week: Chapter 6

I’ve Made up my Mind. Let’s Go.   We left on Tuesday. When I took my mother her coffee and granola bar, she wasn’t in the chair by the window. Nor was she in bed. I found her in the shed. How did I miss her going out? She was digging through the suitcases we…

You Caught Me Monologuing   I have asked the birds what this is all about, and Henwyn, at least, has been helpful. She agreed to come down out of the attic for a chat. And now she is telling me about the flock’s journey to this house from their world in search of the Margravine….

A Different Point of View The human is imbecilic. The human is dangerous. The human is beyond our help. Oh Margravine, your strength is waning and I cannot stop your demise. That is the way you have chosen to go, but you promised we would be spared. You said we could save the world you…

Sometime Last Week: Chapter 3

A Sweet and Uplifting Bedtime Story   I stare at the bones for several seconds before I realize just how angry the birds are. I’m confused. They ruffle their feathers, heads jogging back and forth. A clack of a beak, a small whistle that sounds more like a growl.   “Why here, Fireflight?” asks Henwyn….

Sometime Last Week: Chapter 2

A Melancholy Fear of Cereal and Existentialism   The house is silent. It’s been so for years, but today I feel something in the silence. I can’t tell if it’s fear, or regret, or perhaps an ill intent, but something new is here. Lately, there’ve been too many new things. I’m hungry. I wonder if…

Sometime Last Week Chapter 1

ByLouise Warren August 1, 2015August 27, 2015

  Chapter 1 Fire   Sometime last week, the birds in the attic started whispering.  They want a new leader but can’t decide if the Mohawk or Fireflight is preferable. I told them I endorsed the Mohawk so I think they will choose the other. On my way down from their congress, I stopped to…
