To Touch, Feel, Taste

-
Nothing is said to be real unless you could feel, touch and taste it. But stories which have been told to me had neither of those things. An yet, they have been as real to me as those who have stayed at my side through times when I could only lie still. -Ivy Winter

The Savior's Champion by Jenna Moreci

“Choose the path that's right by you. Always. It may end in misery -a small price to pay. No amount of hardship compares to the emptiness of regret. Of never having lived at all.” Let’s first talk about this opening – it was really promising, it engaged me immediately and I found myself consumed into the story.  Yet there were also a few things that I want to discuss as certain aspects could have been improved upon. One of my favourite things about this book, and the most obvious, was that I really enjoy reading from Tobias’s prospective. He is kind, loving and honest. He also interacts with people in a realistic way, and was probably the most grounded character in the book. His internal dialog also sounded realistic– I would probably think the same things in those situations. He wasn’t a hero. But he will try and save people and he is modest about it. All round good guy. The only thing I will say about his character, that I found unrealistic, was that he immediately deci...

Snowy the Goblin and the Cross Over Bridge

The South air blew across the still river, carting with it, the defined smell of salt. Close to freezing to death, Snowy walked along hurriedly across Milton Bridge, which was built of stones.

It was a portal into a world in which was unknown to many. As Snowy passed, a young boy on a bike he hit an invisible wall and slipped through a door.

Unable to Accept

You know, as an adult, I remember telling my sister, "she isn't your friend you know". I had been referring to one of the girls at our work. You see, my sister and I used to work at the same office job, and she used to be really close to one of the girls there. I didn't know the girl well, I actually didn't know anyone at the office well. It wasn't because I had only just commenced working there, it was because I was so far removed from work life that I saw it only as a polite thing to know at lest the peoples names. It sounds strange if you feel the same as I did back then, but that was how I looked at it. They weren't my friends, I wasn't theirs. It was work, and that's it. There isn't any reason why I should do anything other then my own work. I shouldn't need to talk to anyone. I don't need to ask how they were. This was pretty much how I felt in school as well. I was only there to do my job. So you could imagine why I said ...
