Customs, 3

[vmurther]

So much of what I do is reflexive. I check the protective scrolls on my door lintel before I use the lock. I let the door swing open for a moment before stepping in. I always lock and seal the door behind me again. I move carefully through my home, room by room, absorbing everything with all seven senses before I can finally sit down and relax

Oh, I like this one best so far.

Are you/have you considered a piece of length with this character and world? It seems full of possibility.

I think I like this story thread better than any other you've posted. And I like the new voice.

I'll throw my voice in with those who are enjoying this series.

Bravo. I can't believe you connected it all together so well! At this very moment the phrase I most appreciate Is:

I went into the kitchen and started some coffee; the ritual interlude between work and work.

A. Because that is what goes through my head every morning, only written more succinctly,
B. Because I was so damn curious to see how you would incorporate the coffee, and I'm most pleased :)

A remarkable vignette.

Thank you.
