“You’ve worked hard,” said the huntsman. Father Hawk could see his large blue body looming high in the black expanse and hear him as well. However, Father Hawk couldn’t see himself and he certainly couldn’t hear any sound he would normally create whether that be his feathers shifting against each other or his own breathing. Continue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 33 (Early Draft)”

By G.R. Nanda Father Hawk gathered himself again and eventually walked off the stinging pain. His right leg had been sprained near the claw in his fall. He didn’t know how he was going to do what he had to do. He had flown high up above and had seen that the ravines and riversContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 32 (Early Draft)”

By G.R. Nanda 2200 A.D. Atlantic Tribe, Desolate Plains of the Atlantic As the windstorm died down, the old man cleared his throat and slurped on something.

Nickel had resorted to slumping at the bottom of the egg, keepingContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 31 (Early Draft)”
2200 Blues Chapter 30 (Early Draft)
By G.R. Nanda When he awoke, the sun was well on its way up the sky. The ball of yellow warmth loomed over him in a sky of light blue. The stolid white sheet of a sky seemed to have disappeared overnight. Only a few puffs of white clouds peppered the sky. A gentle breezeContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 30 (Early Draft)”

By G.R. Nanda Through the lush green, Father Hawk jogged, cutting through and separating clumps of grass. He accidentally ran into herds of large, furry and brown bison who grunted at his approach or butted their huge horn-studded heads at him. When they did this, he had to frantically scuttle around the herds or flapContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 29 (Early Draft)”

By G.R. Nanda “Great,” said Father Hawk. “Great.” He looked down and squinted. “But…………..I am great!” he shouted as he looked back up, frowning at the huntsman who hovered placidly in the sky. “I-I’m a god. Or I was. I was a god. I could fly all through the universe. I already was great.” TheContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 28 (Early Draft)”

By G.R. Nanda Even as he was spinning, Father Hawk could feel his heart sink. He never felt inevitability more than now. Plummeting in space, he could do nothing as he moved closer and closer to the huntsman. The huntsman’s legs trailed behind him in a blue haze that melted away into the stars. HeContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 27 (Early Draft)”

By G.R. Nanda “The coyote stared at Father Hawk with glaring yellow eyes that glinted with a strange brightness.” “Father Hawk’s heart sank. He was almost too tired to be afraid or run away. It was indeed getting tiresome, constantly running away, constantly being surprised and chased away by some new threat.” “It was tooContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 26 (Early Draft)”

By G.R. Nanda “Fear flooded Father Hawk.” “He stopped trembling from anger because now he was trembling out of fear.” “It was like a sharp bar of ice– a long icicle that plummeted on him, piercing him from his head to his gut.” “His eyes were wide with fear. He stood in one spot, transfixedContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 25 (Early Draft)”
