But the rain isn’t the only thing that seems to be following me around. Lately I’ve been dogged by wisps of deja vu every... Read more

Clyde, Clydeh, Clydhe, Cludha. The waters rise up, envelop you, take you down. Cold at first, oh so cold, but your core temperature drops, As he makes you his own. Warm now, in his embrace, you see for the first time, the history of this place. The visions play before your eyes, Scenes of battles, scenes of peace. Lives of dear friends in a dear green place. A foreign God, a man from the south, the true tales of a... Read more

I felt the energy of the river as it stretches out onto land, as it touches the city beyond its banks. At last, I'd learned one of the river's older names, and I knew that we had only been acquaintances before. Now we knew each other a bit better. Read more
