{My Soul} I summon to the winding ancient stair;
Set all your mind upon the steep ascent,
Upon the broken, crumbling battlement,
Upon the breathless starlit air,
'Upon the star that marks the hidden pole;

Gemma kissed the bottom of the hand-written note and tied it to the string of the lone lightbulb in the kitchen.
I love the loneliness of this phrasing, both for what Gemma's feeling and how it's going to hit the other person when she comes home.

Interesting! Portland Oregon, or the one in Maine?

Loneliness is a very powerful emotion. I feel bad for both of them too.

Can I duck your question for now?

[halfshellvenus]

Ah, the answer is still evolving!

Sure. :D

Not so much evolving... none of them lives in Portland per se. It is the largest city, and thus has a news broadcast station, which can be picked up over a rather wide range.

These were interesting characters/snapshots. I wanted it to go on!

Thank you! If I survive the round, it will.

This is an interesting start -- or end, perhaps, in Robyn's case. I feel a bit sorry for Kelly; she doesn't seem quite ready yet.

I'm not sure any of them are "ready" for what's ahead of them, but they all have to face the past/future.

These were really nicely done, and I'm interested to see where each of the stories go and how they intertwine one with another.

[pen_name]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the GR plug as well! That was most kind of you.

This is interesting. So many stories and so many possibilities. I'll be curious as to where this goes.

[pen_name]

I hope so! That's my plan, in any event.
