Excerpt: The Twins of the Myriad

Light crept across the room through Esther’s blinds onto her bed; waking her from her deep sleep. Slowly she opened her eyes. Her white stucco ceiling came into view, blurry at first. Her body’s tempo increasing she rose out of bed and slipped off her pink pajama’s letting them drop to the floor. Wearing a white t-shirt and jeans Esther walked gingerly down the stairs. Her kitchen nook and living room’s bright white paint reflects the sun light as she makes her way to the door. The sounds of unseen bird’s songs are lovely and peaceful as they come through the open door. Esther’s eyes popped open abruptly as her dream broke suddenly. Her eyes slowly focused on the violet sky above and the hefty silent bats traveling in it. The clouds of the early dawn looked wispy as they framed the scene so familiar to Esther’s consciousness. She took in the scene as she rose from her bed she was sleeping outside as she always did on cool nights. Esther stared at the seemingly endless horizon. Between here and there were hills of green grass.
