    My story, Mathematical Shield, has been published in the latest

    STAR TOUCHED

    STAR TOUCHED

    Sometimes it’s hard to be who you are meant to be.

    Especially when your powers can get you killed.

  • Fledgling

    Little fledgling

    So smart, pretty

    Some feathers sprout later than others

    Each more brilliant than the last

    One by one you stretch your wings

    Testing the wind

     

     

    With tears I watch

    Soon you’ll fly far away

    Return home soon my little fledgling

    Young, almost grown

    Powerful wings that no longer flutter

    A fledgling no more
