Barnes

Barnes stared down her nose at the young man. When he finished speaking, she reached out her hand. “You have a ladybug on your shirt.”

Before he could reply, she picked off the bug and held it in the palm of her hand. It was brilliantly deep in color, just like the rest of the labyrinth. The only time she could rem…[Read more]

I probably should have given a little bio.

Name: Lucille Barnes

Description: A young woman (older than twenty, nearing thirty) with grayish blond hair and a tall build, at least six feet tall. She has a fair amount of natural strength. She wears a ruffled cream shirt and maroon jacket and pants. I’ve already mentioned that in what I’ve wro…[Read more]

Barnes

“I don’t not care, if that’s what you’re suggesting,” Barnes said without looking to see who it was. “I’m not a nihilist.”

The walls rustled around them, and Barnes turned her head to scan the smaller hedges.

Some of the maze was smaller and narrower than the rest, like little mini gardens encased in the rest of t…[Read more]

Barnes

Barnes meandered along the edge of the labyrinth. She stood behind the rest of the crowd, almost as if she were part of the background. Her pale skin easily matched some of the stone decorations along the directionless path. That was the only similarity between her and the place.

Home. It felt far away, although logically, Barnes must…[Read more]

Yeah Ikr! Unfortunately there aren’t enough doctors in my area so some kinds of healthcare are simply not available. For instance, my sister has been told she likely has ehlers danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that effects all parts of the body’s function. It’s supposed to be diagnosed by a rheumatologist but because there is a…[Read more]

@rae

Thanks girl, I’ll pray for you too < 3

Ouch that doesn’t sound like fun. Yeah I’ve heard of that, my cousin has chronic Epstein bar virus and it comes back sometimes. It’s exhausting when stuff you thought you were done with still lingers… ugh. I tested positive for Lyme last fall but the doctor didn’t feel confident treating me, and now…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

What I’m asking is, as readers, did you get anything out of this in this book at this time in this place, or did you just read it more to get over it to the next part of the story?

I agree with Keilah and Linus—I think you should leave it in, but maybe have Julian encourage the believers more by reminding them of their future hope.

@rae

You okay? I hope it’s nothing too serious 🙁

Not really tbh. This is the sickest I’ve been in 7 years of chronic illness and this has been one of the hardest years yet. I went to a new doctor at the recommendation of my mom and he messed up my health, I’ve been in a slight migraine state for almost 2 months since his treatment. I learned not t…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Thanks for the tag I’m rather too ill to participate in much of anything but I appreciate it anyways lol

@theducktator

Praying!!!

@whaley

Which team? Hot Dogs, perchance? 😉

*Notices were already on page 3* Okay, I’ll touch on this soon. I’m drawing right now. XD

@ellette-giselle

Gotcha. You might want to try to clarify the definition a little more, but I would see what others like Linus think.

What does your signature mean, by the way?

@keilah-h ^^

New chapters! I’m getting a little short on my supply so I’ll probably start posting singles instead of doubles every week soon. The past few weeks have been busy, but hopefully I’ll start writing again soon.

@ellette-giselle

I like how Konner and the others are afraid of the Empire. That seems realistic—I would be surprised if in a time like this, all the Christians were courageous enough to defy the government always. Julian’s speech is good. Very rousing. A few parts didn’t make sense.

“If we make decisions based on survival, and only on the abi…
