story!


I was walking down the beach, collecting clams and such, when I saw the little angel for the first time. The poor little thing, she was soaked through, shivering, and bruised and battered. Her clothes were little more than rags, although they looked as though once they had been very nice. I gathered her into my arms and carried her to my room at the inn. I'd come to the shore, only to stay for a weekend, but I had to stay here until she could travel, now. She was obviously in pain, for she was tossing and turning in her sleep. I guessed she was having nightmares about her ordeal. I stayed awake caring for her for three or four days. I'm not sure which. Finally, I had to sleep. Wouldn't you know, that's when she woke up. She was terrified. Who wouldn't be, I guess, to find themselves in a strange place with a strange person? I quickly calmed her, and tried to find out who she was.
" Shhh...calm down. You'll be just fine. There, there, that's a good girl. Are you better now?" here I offered her a drink of water. "Now, can you tell me your name?"
"I'm....I...I don't remember!!"
This set her wailing again. I'll give her one thing, she has a real good yell.
"Please, please, quiet yourself, calm down!! That's better. Well, I suppose that bump on your head made you forget yourself. I am Darien. I'll take care of you until you can travel, and then I'll take you somewhere to stay until you regain your memory, okay?"
"Alright."
She was too tired to stay awake any longer. As she agreed, she fell asleep. Her sleep was no longer fitful. In fact, she seemed to be sleeping quite soundly. I stayed there and watched her sleep, thinking of how beautiful she was, until I joined her in the land of sweet dreams.


Well, I hope you liked it. More later.
