"I trust you are well?"The words came to Kenneth as though they traveled a long way to reach him. He put a hand to his forehead, already despising the headache that he felt growing there."What?" was all Kenneth could utter.

He started thinking of all the things he would say to her. Many of them he would not repeat to his parents."Is that her designation? A geographical area that is neither plains nor forest, yet a mixture of both. This land type vanished completely from record around the 30th century when—""Let her sleep," Kenneth said. "I'm hungry, and sore. You have anything to eat?"Download and discover why readers are raving about GJ Winters.Scroll up and get the book now! Views: 646
