This is the sixth episode in a multi-part story. Although I hope you would enjoy it by itself, it would be better to start with Chapter 01 first so you can understand the context of the situation and get introduced to the characters. This is a story of a journey and is meant to be read in sequence. * A slight bump and the revving of the port side thrusters...
There were a lot of good reasons to be out this early, but none as wonderful as seeing this first Giant Swallowtail awakening, and John smiled as it moved.

I often look out across the calm summer sea and watch as the sun's rays scatter and reflect off of the waves rolling gently against the shore. Such a tiny bit of light can conceal so many secrets. On the surface my home town of Gideon's Gully is a thriving summer retreat, a home to retired artists, and a fishing community. It's a veneer I would come to resp...

Ned, the Total Woman Academy Coach Tutor Emeritus, looked out the window of the G280 Gulfstream as the gaps in the billowy clouds peeked through with vistas of the passing ground below. He had just completed a multiday transfer recruitment and a special coed evaluation assessment last week. Though Ned was still in good shape for a middle aged man, the youn...
