    “Mama, I'm going to be home late. I have a lot to do before I can leave.” Rashaad said.“Baby, they say there’s going to be a blizzard. You need to leave now.” Mama replied, concerned.“Mom, the weatherman doesn’t have a good track record his week. He said it would be in the 70s, and it’s snowing now. I will be all right. Don’t worry.”“The work can wait. I don’t want you stuck in that building with the snow coming down as hard as it is.”“No, mama. I have a deadline.

    The Whisper

    The clopping sound of horse’s hooves upon the road alerted the farmer to an armored rider approaching. He was a knight errant from the center-lands, a herald of the court of Mount Valissia, judging by the dragon depicted on his kite shield. The farmer, sickle in hand, departed from his task in the field and met the knight near wooden fence.‘Hail,’ spoke the knight beneath iron visage. ‘Are you the owner of this land?’‘I am,’ replied the farmer, true. ‘I have learned much about your tale, good sir.
