Subject: [FARPG] Alone2 Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 21:05:38 -0700 (PDT) From: Stana Hierspiel The book was still open. Taunting her with the singular word she had written. And in that word was contained her whole world. Word-world. Funny, in a tongue twiting sort of way. Agrin tugged her mouth, but there was no humor. She had friends...so where were they. Sullam, Shinji, Lyr, Clip, Teri... God knew. And he wasnt telling her. God knew...and she didnt. What a thought that was. She would have been mortified of that thought...not long ago...and forever ago. "Where is my God" she mocked herself gently "I see Him not!" In fact, nothing seemed further than God at this point. She looked at the blank page, save for that one word, and her hand clenched around the pencil. She did have friends...she knew that...but they werent there...and whose fault had that been? Teri had tried...hadn't she? But- Stana wrote the word down Teri. And then watched as it bled from the page like water. She gaped, as the very heavans opened up in a deluge of water and furios winds. Suddenly a tree beside her was struck with lightning, catching fire despite the rain. The gound underfoot trembeled ad she cried out as the winds slashed at her face and hands. The book tumbled from her hands as she lifted her head and screamed defiance into the storm. "I won't let you win!" The storm threw them back in her face. But she swore she would be heard.
