Re: Book Walkers

Re: The Transmission
The night was ink-black when Maiven gently crept from her bed, gave the lump of blankets that hid her brother a quick kiss, and stepped outside. The cool night air ...

Re: imperfection
This is really poetic. You have a neat "voice" - as in the narration here is blunt, head-on yet vague at the same time. You took a simple idea of ...

Re: Little red lights
