This is an excerpt from the journal of James Winchester. The story is centered around characters from the Winchester Novel Project.

My name is James.

Those were the first words I remember writing as a child. I guess I wrote them here because I didn’t know how else to begin.

My name is James Winchester. My mother’s name is Elissa Winchester and my father’s name is Luce. Mom died six months ago and I have never known my dad. My little brother’s name is Johnny.

I look up from these pages and look across the small bonfire to see him laying there, wrapped up in a blanket. His face is pale and haggard under that dark mop of hair of his. He’s been plagued by nightmares ever since mom died, hell we both have, and here in this Godforsaken city they have grown worse. It’s like the city itself produces the dreams and the visions that haunts us.

A reply to a Smoke And Mirrors challenge posted on Realm of Fantasy. The character Terrel was created by Alterra.

He watched the man rest. In the flickering candle-light he was a creature of runes and enticing shadows. The chest raising slowly with every breath. At peace now, but only moments ago he had been fighting for his life, and for theirs. In sleep the Patryn looked so young, almost vulnerable. Terrel caught himself wanting to run his fingers through that dark tousled hair. He sighed, it had been so much easier when he had hated the man…

The time has come to post my first journal entry. I must say it has taken some time to come this far in the process… 3 days to be exact.

If WordPress wasn’t so easy to manage and update, as well as secure and stabile I would have tossed it out like yesterday. I’m used to the freedom of e107, used to being able to change every part of the site and the theme. With WordPress I find that it is so much more difficult to edit the css-files and get everything working with the plugins and stuff. And the widgets… Don’t get me started on the widgets…

But at last, the board is up and PM’s can be sent and recieved (I hope), and avatars will be available shortly. And now I will continue to watch the TV-show “Lost in Austen.”

More ships keep coming every day. Huge freight haulers returning from the border worlds to our station here at Venezia 5 at the very edge of the frontier. Their cargo holds not filled with metal or space-scrap but with humans. Thousand upon thousand plague victims. And it is getting worse. Every day there are more.

The healing zone is as big as a city but still there isn’t enough room, not enough power or medicine. The Daemons labour day and night, work-cycle after work-cycle to expand the Healing Zone, to ad unit after unit, and still it isn’t enough.

Welcome to our brand new site. Due to security issues with the e107 system we’ve opted to try out WordPress. Hopefully this will serve our needs better.

As you can see pretty much everything is different from the old site. At the moment the site is still much a work in progress. Things will change and move around and who else knows what will happen. :)

Best Regards,
