... wouldn't be coming. One, this would be the last Sunday before I go home. Two, I've skipped church three times in the last four weeks. Three, I had promised him to help him sell his wood turnings today. Completely forgot about it, and now feel like a flake. :( *sighs* Also means I can't hint obviously that Nick would like a wood turning sometime soonish. I have one of Grandpa's bowls and one of...

On Holiday By Mistake: Chapter Seven

...You see, I was completely ignorant of space-travel, had no knowledge of worlds beyond my own star-system. I simply.......wandered. I crashed here in this water you call Loch Laggan. I've been here for many sun-turnings. I know not how long I've been here anymore. Time has lost meaning. But I am happy here. I am free.  Bridget smiled at her new friend.

Storm-Dragon seems to figure as much, as he doesn't press the issue. ~As I'm sure you know, we haven't had any of your tribe since the... incident several turnings of the moon ago.
