Sample text:

Rain from a Cloudless Sky

 

—OldEarth—

 

 

 

Breathe. In…out.

Savor the sensation.

Oh, God, how do humans stand it? So many sensations all at once. The warm sun on the face, the chill breeze as it rolls over the skin, the sound of laughter, the scent of… What is that? Fried chicken? Yes, that’s what Father called it. Fried chicken. Hmmm.    

I wish Father hadn’t left. I know what he thinks; I depend on him too much. But being here alone… It’s strange. Humanity is strange. Heck, the whole dang planet is strange.

Better get used to it. Life’s profession and all.

Breathe.

Okay, Jacob, you can’t see me, but I’m watching you. I’m a Luxonian Guardian now, and I’m going to stick to you like… glue? Humans come up with the oddest expressions!

Uh, ho. No… You’re not supposed to be doing that…

~~~

"Ma?"

"Jacob?"

"I’m here, Ma. I just wanted to see you."

"Oh, Jacob. You’re not supposed to. Go, on. I’ll be all right. Go home…"

"You’re not all right. You’re sick. I want to help."

Silence.

"No one can help me now, honey. I can’t lie to a smart boy like you. You gotta accept. Go home."

"Not without you… without Pa… Janie…"

"Don’t! I wish I could… God, the pain—"

"Ma!"
