Anxious Waiting - Excerpt - Flying Sparks - A Novel – An Alien Perspective
Drake McCarty’s leg was shattered deep in the wilderness, and as the flash flood closed over him, he looked death in the face.
When he wakes up in a hospital bed, in a military base that shouldn’t exist, he has a whole leg and a furious sister to deal with.
Drake is sworn to keep a secret he doesn’t understand, but whatever pulled him out of the flood, isn’t quite done with him yet, because even if you leave nothing but footprints, the things that walk the forest can still follow you home.
Excerpt 15
Bard shifted uneasily in the dim hanger they always waited in when there were visitors while they were above ground. The rest of his colony stood around him glowing with sympathy, their radiation tuned to hide them from any prying eyes or sensors. If they did not understand his unease they did share it willingly, letting brief flickers light their rounded forms from within. The ember he had rescued from the fierce song had been taken from him too soon. He could feel it down to his most insulated shard. He should have kept him many hours longer and sang him fully well but the human healer had insisted on seeing and treating the ember and Bard could not refuse.
It was not that Bard questioned the knowledge that the healer held, but there was little music either martial or medicinal in O’Beirne. Both must have been there once, their mark still showed in his every light, but something had recently drained the young human and left him ill suited for the treatment of such a sensitive young ember. Bard shifted again and let out a worried trill. Miller came up beside him and pressed soothingly into his shoulder. Bard hummed gratefully but kept his attention on the humming of the primitive and discordant song rider.
