I'm feeling pretty good right now so I'd like to have a little overdo fun here on the blog.<br />
<br />
First of all, my announcement ...<br />
I have release dates for the remaining volumes of The Foreseers series. Yay! Let's list those dates, shall we? Drumroll please ....<br />

<br />
I'm so excited to be doing this. Feeling well enough to release a book, start a vlog, throw a contest; it all makes me very happy to be able to do normal things. Soon (mid-November), I will be back on the heavy chemo. I will do my very best to keep the chaos around me, and within me, happy chaos. That's the best kind of chaos to have.<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Contestering,<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
After overhearing her parents arguing over whether or not to hospitalize her, sixteen year old Landrie Moxon runs away from home. She ends up in New York City where she finds 5 other teens just like her. Landrie and her roommates soon discover that they are special ... each of them possessing a similar mental "hang-up" that keeps them from living normal lives. Landrie's mind is controlled by random photos of people, some she has seen in real life and some she has not. Her mental infarction makes her a recluse, withdrawn, quiet, and distrustful. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her roommates also have images that control their minds. One sees a shadow of an action, one sees a date, one sees a time of day, and so on. When the six pieces of information come together, the tight-knit group sees an event from the future. Sadly, the events are traumatic, some even fatal. Landrie and the other's don't realize how special their power to foresee the future really is. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Landrie meets a face from her mind and begins to spend time with him. Eventually, Landrie and Aidan Kane fall in love. Aidan's father is a politician that is running for President of the United States, a situation that ads a complexity to the foreseers that even Landrie doesn't recognize at first. And there are others that know of the foreseers's gift that cause the group problems, too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Will Landrie be able to have both Aidan and the other foreseers in her life? Will she ever embrace her special power and learn to control her mind? These answers will be revealed in the three volume, realistic fantasy series, THE FORESEERS.</div>

I don't even know how to start this post except to say that chemo brain is very real and very much a part of my life. Sadly, pathetically, I can't remember much these days. Things from before treatment are easier to remember, but stuff that's happened in the last 30, 60, even 90 days? Sadly, most of my life since December of 2013 has been forgotten.<br />
<div>
Chemo brain has adversely affected me and my writing. I read things that I've written and I get scared. I can't remember writing it or even thinking it. It is scary to try to pull on parts of my memory, wanting so badly to be able to remember certain events, only to draw a blank. I can't imagine how my sweet grandma Melva felt having been diagnosed with Dimentia. Memory loss is a very scary ordeal, indeed.</div>
<div>
Along with the memory issues, I have a hard time concentrating. I can't multitask worth a lick anymore, either. Sniff. Sniff. </div>
<div>
Yet ... I am working on keeping better written notes, calendars, and journals to better help myself when my brain can't find the event in question. This seems to help. I consciously work to stay on task, and I keep my tasks, conversations, and projects to a short, doable amount of time. All these little tricks are helping.</div>
<div>
Regardless, I hope to start writing again soon. I honestly don't think it will happen before I take a real break from chemo, but who knows? Some days I feel so courageous, I go so far as to open a new word document. When it happens, I'm sure I'll be publicly expressing my joy ... loudly.</div>
<div>
Until that day, let's keep reading. Shall we?</div>

Such a great time with many (67 at one point) new friends. Thank you again to all that showed up. I can't wait to do it again! (The next one is scheduled for March 13th, FYI.)<br />
<br />
I've copied and pasted the transcript from some of my favorite questions. Just so you are aware, there are **SPOILERS** ahead.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi Kristin. I’m a huge fan of your work. I’m currently about
halfway through The Nation. I’m having a hard time putting it down. My
question: how much of yourself did you put into Brynn? I know many authors see
themselves as the female lead in their books. K******<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi K******. Thank you! I’m so glad you are enjoying the
series. To answer your question … When I wrote The Trait (years ago), I did put
quite a bit of myself into Brynn. During my writing process, that happens a
lot for me. But since then, I’ve written 4 more series. Now, I see more of my teenage
daughter in Brynn. Thank you again for being a fan and for joining today.
Kristin<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Along the same lines as Kaitlyn’s question, your books have
a lot of medical terminology and references. Do you have a background in
healthcare? S**<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi S**. Yes, I do. I worked in the business/office side of
healthcare for over 10 years. I wanted to go into patient care (nursing or preMed)
when I started college, but I quickly learned that I don’t like blood or pain or tears.
Thanks for joining today! Kristin<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kristin, I’m C********. I love the Trait books! I especially
love how both Brynn and Creed have changed over the course of the series. In
the first book, I admit I didn’t care for Brynn’s behavior at times. How did
you plan that transformation out from book 1 through book 4?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi C********. Thank you for joining today. I’m thrilled that
you are enjoying the series. To answer your question … As I think back on it,
the transformation with Brynn came quite naturally. As the story intensified
and progressed, she matured, per say. At the beginning of the story, when she
was dealing with the bad decision she had made with Chandler, she was reclusive.
She was quiet, and she built a strong wall around her heart. This behavior limited
her ability to grow and learn from life experience. By the time she lets herself
accept her relationship with Creed, she had experienced a lot. That life
experience, and all the experiences she had with Creed, helped them both mature
and grow up, similarly to how it happens for most of us. It was a wild ride
with Brynn, wasn’t it? She kept things moving and shaking, once she found her
voice and let the wall around her heart crumble. Again, thank you for joining
today and keep reading! Kristin<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel really bad for Chandler. Please tell me you have good
things in store for him. G***<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi G***. I won’t spoil the story for you but to answer your
question … yes! Good things happen for Chandler because all-in-all, he’s a
really great guy. He’s just persistent and comes off as pest, at first. Thank
you for joining today. Kristin<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi Kristin. I’m also a fan of your writings. I’ve fallen in
love with Creed. He’s witty. In chapter 6, he makes a comment that is my
favorite. “Vampires are stupid.” I can’t help but to ask, is this a dig at
those popular “vampire” books? LOL V*****<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi V****. I’m laughing right now, too. To answer your
question … a little bit. Blush. When I wrote the series, those popular vampire
books were all the rage. Admittedly, I haven’t read them but I made my cute
husband by me the movies on DVD for Christmas last year. So, let’s call it a
subliminal “nod of acknowledgement” to Edward on Creed’s behalf, yes? After all, that
story-line is truly amazing. Thanks for joining today and for the laugh!
Kristin<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi Kristin. I’m B*****. I found your cancer blog through
your book blog and I've read it and follow it. Kudos for keeping a smile on your face through
treatment. I noticed when reading The Trait that Brynn’s grandma passed away
from cancer. How were you able to write such a storyline having cancer
yourself, and did you find it hard to do? Sincerely, B*****.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi B*****. Thank you for joining today and for your
meaningful thoughts. To answer your question … When I wrote The Trait series, I
didn’t have cancer. I was diagnosed late in 2013, and had published all four
Trait novels beforehand. Admittedly, I read the parts of the books that mention
cancer and I feel <i>okay</i> about them. I
have a thousand times the knowledge about cancer now verses the time I wrote
about it, and I do wonder now if it would've been advantageous to have chosen a
different terminal illness to give June instead of the cancer. Regardless, it
is what it is, and I’m proud of Brynn for caring for her grandmother the way
she did. Brynn’s examples of strength, loyalty, and
personal sacrifice are traits I aspire to have. Again, thank you for your thoughtful
words. Kristin<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi Kristin. I know you have written lots of books. Do you
ever cross reference The Trait in other novels or vice versa? T*******<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi T******. Thank you for joining today. To answer your
question … admittedly, I do. It’s a fun little “game” I regularly play, and I
know I’m not the only writer to engage in such fun. One particular
cross-reference I can think of off the top of my head … in the Keepers, the
protagonist is talking about the movie she had just seen with her cousin. And I
quote: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I like the part when the guy pee’d on the carpet and it set
the fire alarm off. Classic,” Dane stated with a boyish grin.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You would like the gross part,” Meagan teased. She and Dane,
cousins turned friends, discussed their next adventure together as they slowly
strolled down the street. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
End quote. So as you can see, I like to subliminally mess
around. It’s one of the many joys I find in writing. Thanks again for joining
today and for the question. Keep reading! Kristin<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today is one of those days that make me truly LOVE what I do.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I really look up to Ms. Lee. She is one of the author's on my "favorites" list. Why? Because of lines like this:<br />

I'm happy about it, very happy. It was disheartening when designhousedigital.com closed because I liked designing scrapbooking products. But to find a new "design team" gig was way too time consuming. So I opted for an Etsy shop instead and I must say ... Etsy rocks my world.<br />

How are you? How have you been the last say ... 5 or so months?<br />
That's great! How have I been?<br />
I've been distracted. Very distracted.<br />
By this. <a href="http://300dayswithcancer.blogspot.com/">CANCER</a>. Not good.<br />
And this. <a href="http://www.gearketeers.com/">GEARKETEERS</a>. Very good.<br />
Now that I've got my treatments semi-under control, I hope to be back and blogging more regularly here. And writing. I've started writing again. It will be interesting to see how my writing style has changed under the effects of chemotherapy, yes?<br />

She's a fan of epic novels turned movies--Twilight, Hunger Games, Harry Potter--and she's completely convinced that The Trait Series will be made into movies someday. A little part of her message:<br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"> "When the TRAIT Series is made into movies, this should be the theme song!" </span><br />
<span class="userContent"> </span> <br />
<br />

I have fallen in love with this song. It feels like THE TRAIT to me. Thank you KP for the suggestion and the kind message!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
The two women hadn’t said a thing.
The older woman in the driver’s seat focused on centering her rig on the scale
at the same time her scared young passenger worked to catch her breath. The driver
handed her papers to a Canadian highway official and rolled up her window. She
turned to talk to the passenger just in time to see a vehicle rapidly
approaching through the window.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Is that friend
or foe?” she said in a substantial Canadian accent. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
Brynn peered out
the window to her right. The vehicle in question bounced along the dirt road
and Brynn caught a quick glimpse of the side of it. She knew it was the van she
had been riding in just minutes earlier.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Foe,” she said
and she started to breath heavy again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Climb in the
back. There’s a compartment underneath the bed where I store my dirty clothes.
Roll into it, then pull the clothes in after you,” The woman said without
turning to Brynn.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
Brynn did what
the woman said to do. Lying in the dark, stuffy compartment, she closed her
eyes. The compartment smelled of musty cigarette smoke and stale beer, and she
covered her face with her shirt and started to count to keep her mind from
deteriorating into mush.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
She had counted
to 162 when she heard the loud banging on the truck door.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“What do you
want?” the driver barked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“We’re looking
for my sister. She’s run away from our group,” the man’s voice said. Brynn
thought it sounded like Andy and she pinched her eyes together as tightly as
she could.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“I haven’t seen
her.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Did you see a
young girl wandering around? Please, ma’am, she suffers from mental illness.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Nope. I haven’t
seen any women around her all night except for that window clerk,” the driver
said, pointing at the woman working behind the large glass window inside the
weigh station.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
The man turned to
look at the building. The same worker that had taken the papers from the driver
rig briskly advanced the cab. “Sir, you can’t be out here on foot.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“But my sister.
We’re looking for my sister.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“I don’t care if
you’ve lost the Queen of Sheba. You’re not permitted to be on or near the
scales on foot. Return to your vehicle immediately,” the worker said. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
Brynn exhaled carefully,
but to her ears, it sounded like a foghorn. Before the worker could escort him
away from the truck, Andy climbed up and looked into the cab. Seeing nothing
but an unmade bed, he glanced at the older woman before jumping to the ground
and running to the van.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
The truck pulled
off the scales, and Brynn didn’t move until the heat from the vibration of the truck
below her became unbearable. She climbed out from underneath the bed and slowly
peered into the cab of the truck. The woman looked at her through the rear-view
mirror and pointed at the passenger seat. Brynn climbed to the seat and
fastened her seat belt before turning to the woman.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Thank you for
the ride, and for hiding me.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Was that the
creep that’s been hurtin’ you?” the older woman asked. Sitting in a dirty
sweater, frayed, fingerless gloves and a crooked beanie cap, the woman had to be
in her early sixties. Brynn could see a small piece of gray hair sticking out
from the cap as her eyes traveled down from the hair to her wrinkled, pale
face.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“No, that was his
friend. The creep was probably looking elsewhere.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Was he abusing
you?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Yes,” she said.
“My name is Brynn.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
“I’m Penner.” She glanced at Brynn before quickly refocusing on the road.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“For the initial
48 hours, there will be a one-to-one point five vaccinated individual per
caregiver ratio. After that, we’ll start taking shifts. The ratios will jump to
one of us for every four or five of them for at least eight weeks,” Dallin
said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Along the far
right wall is a defibrillator, three blood pressure cuffs, the thermometers,
and the oxygen tanks,” Beth explained, pointing at the wall. Brynn glanced at
Beth then at Silus. Silus and Brynn shared a brief, tense stare until Creed
interrupted it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Si, will you
give us an update?” Creed asked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“There’s complete
security around the total perimeter of the property, including the driveway.
There are four secured phone lines down here, as well as in the duplex we’ve
rented for the families. Nothing can get in or out of here that we don’t want
to.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Dallin, what are
the potential problems we need to be aware of?” Creed asked. He didn’t look at
Dallin, but instead focused on the bulletin board in front of him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“We have two
older recipients, one who’s almost 50 and the other, 56. Both are male. We also
have a minor who will be turning 18 in 28 days, but still isn’t legally able to
make a decision like this without the approval of a guardian. Luckily, Sally’s
mother is very accepting and supporting, but she’s also overly involved. For
the privacy and protection of each individual recipient, no one besides this
group is permitted in this room … ever. Sally’s mother is going to struggle
with that.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“She’s going to
be staying in the north side of the duplex, right?” Creed asked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Yes. Again,
she’ll want to come down here, but she isn’t permitted to. The Harrison twins are massive boys. Both are built like
linebackers so it’s going to be a chore if we have to lift or move either of
them. Out of the ten recipients, five are between 20 and 30 years of age, which
is a good thing, three are teenagers, and then the two older men that have
already been discussed.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“All ten
recipients are in excellent health. Nancy examined them one-by-one and she
couldn’t be happier with their pre-inoculation statuses,” Creed stated as if
Nancy had been a part of the process all along. Brynn had to physically
restrain herself from rolling her eyes and turned away from Creed when Dallin
cleared his throat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“I have a
personal concern about your dad, Creed.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“And I have a
personal concern about Nancy,” Brynn said, quickly making her statement before
Dallin could continue on with his. “I know she’s signed confidentiality forms
and stuff, but I—I have reservations about her.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“I know you do.
We all know you do. That’s why she’s on a need-to-know basis only. She doesn’t
have full access here. She doesn’t know everything, hell, she hardly knows
anything,” Creed replied.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“I don’t want her
alone in the house without one of us here to supervise her,” Brynn demanded.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
Creed studied
Brynn to see if she was being serious. “Brynn, love, you know that isn’t
possible.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
Brynn began to
retort when Silus loudly cleared his throat. “I agree with Brynn.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Done,” Dallin
said, desperate to keep the conversation from becoming uncomfortably hijacked. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“What’s done?”
Nancy asked. She entered the basement as if she lived there. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“We’re going over
our final checklist. Please, have a seat,” Creed said to Nancy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
Brynn tried to
pull her hand away from Creed’s grasp, only for him to gently squeeze her
fingers in between his.<br />
Dallin
didn’t like the building tension, or the amount of time being spent at the
expensive of Nancy, the newest member of Creed’s team. “Like I was saying about
your dad, he’s the oldest recipient and it’d just … well, it would kill me if
anything happened to him,” Dallin cautiously said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“He’ll be fine,”
Beth replied. She gazed intently on Creed. Silus wrapped his arm around his
mother Beth and she turned from Creed to her youngest son and smiled. She was
confident, at least she put on an air that she was. She didn’t agree with
Kalen’s strong desire to receive the EA-7, but she’d support him with almost
anything he requested of her after a bit of coaxing and even more explanation.<br />
“Okay.
The syringes are locked and loaded. One by one, starting with Sadollah, we’re
going to bring an individual recipient down to receive an injection. One
injection per hour on the hour, unless a medical emergency occurs,” Creed
instructed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“Don’t forget to
chart absolutely everything—a one degree temperature change, if their pee looks
too yellow, if you have to flush an IV. Are the consents and waivers all
signed?” Dallin asked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 231.15pt; text-indent: .25in;">
“Yes,”
Brynn answered.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
“All right,
Operation Enhancement is officially underway,” Creed said. He looked at Nancy
and pointed at the stairs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
Nancy quietly exited
the lab to get Sadollah. Sitting in the family room of Creed’s house were the
first five recipients. The other five, which included Kalen, were waiting at
Brynn’s house to receive their own vial of the thick, blue EA-7.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .25in;">
24 hours later,
10 very sick individuals were lying in twin beds scattered throughout the
basement of Creed’s home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">Creed slept for eight
weeks straight after giving himself the injection, the toll on his body from
the vaccine brutal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was lethargic,
often times unresponsive, and his body’s inability to keep a consistent temperature
was disheartening to both Brynn and Dallin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">“Dallin,”
Brynn said as she walked into the bedroom where Creed was sleeping. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">Dallin,
sitting in a chair next to Creed’s bed, looked up. He nodded at Brynn before
refocusing on Creed. He stood and leaned over Creed, slowly, methodically
touching Creed’s face and neck to check his external temperature. Dallin took
Creed’s pulse and logged the reading on a notepad dedicated to Creed’s vital
statistics. “He seems to be stabilizing a bit.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">Brynn
sat down on the bed next to the one occupied by Creed and sighed, “It’s been a
long road.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">“It
has, but I assure you, it will be worth it,” Dallin offered in a calm, almost
eerie tone. Dallin cleared his throat, the noise prompting Brynn to look at
him. Her head started to spin as she and Dallin shared an intense stare. As if
she had been drinking, Brynn was consumed with dizziness. Panic encased her and
her face showed her displeasure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">“Stop
it!” she snapped, her hands covering her eyes, but her cries went unheard. Her
mind took her out of the bedroom and to place she had never been before. She
felt as if she was moving toward a bright light. Brynn tried to divert her
thoughts, but her efforts were futile. Her mind was out of her control.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">It
was as if she was watching a motion picture of herself, but slower, quieter,
and less colorful than real life. Brynn looked at her feet as she walked
through granules of moist, blonde sand. Her white sundress gently swayed with
the breeze, and the smell of saltwater engulfed her. She could feel herself
sigh. Ocean waves crashed against the beach next to her and Brynn shivered from
a cool breeze coming off the water.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">Someone
called her name and she turned around. Creed, dressed in a white shirt and tan
rolled up slacks, slowly approached her and embraced her. She could smell him
and hear him profess his love for her. He walked with her to the large white
gazebo placed randomly amongst a horizon of sand. Standing inside the gazebo
was a faceless man dressed in a white suit and holding a white book. Brynn
could feel herself turn to Creed and smile. In slow motion, he said, “I do,”
before Brynn’s mind violently snapped back to the present. She took many deep
breaths before slowly opening her eyes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">“You
controlled my mind. It was like I was having an out of body experience,” she
said as she glared at Dallin, not knowing if she had enjoyed the hallucinative
experience or not.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="mso-font-kerning: 10.0pt;">“My
trait—it’s different now. I can control how you feel, what you see in your
mind. I can control what endorphins I put out and what endorphins you put out.
I can alleviate physical pain. … That’s the best thing I can do. I can only
imagine what Creed is going to be able to do,” Dallin whispered as he stood and
walked to the door. Just before he passed through the doorway, he said, “I can
kiss Aspen, Brynn. I can kiss her without knocking her out or making her high.
I can hold her while she sleeps. It’s worth it. It will be worth it for you and
Creed, too. … I promise.”</span></div>
