RK- Introducing Hannah and JHKS

The Decks and the Road

Renegotiating Kaylin

Chapter 31- Introducing Hannah

Hannah- My mother is Jennifer Burrows. I’m twenty, and studying Fashion Design. It’s a sort of match made in heaven. Several of her clients have taken a chance in my designs, and my name is growing in inner circles. I’m one-third of Jack, which at times becomes Jacks when Summer is down. Friday nights are our nights. This Friday were meeting at Johnaya’s place.

Chapter 32- JHKS

Johnaya- You should have seen his face when he handed me the keys. It was like he was losing me. It was somewhat like the look he had when I caught the bouquet. And just like then, he didn’t pass up the opportunity to give me the talk.

“Listen, I get all the excitement. You know I’m proud of you, and I trust you. This is not about that. I’m just saying… don’t get caught up in all the excitement and lose your head.”

It’s not anything I would have wished for... the breakup, but I got a studio apartment out of Kayla and my dad’s ordeal. The rent’s all paid up, and I don’t have to think about it for months. I’m not like Kaylin and Hannah. They kinda have their whole lives figured out; the who, what, and the whys. But I’m just working, and waiting for a spark.

Anyway, Summer, Hannah, and Kaylin’s coming over. We’re playing monopoly tonight. It’s one of our things, and I’m the reigning champion. Usually either I win or Hannah. Kaylin’s usually an upset.

I’m listening for the door while I hear the radio. Kaylin shows up first, and she’s weird. Something’s up but I don’t dig. There’s no use… Hannah’s coming and she gets it all upfront. I’ve already set up the coffee table we’ll be playing on, and I have all our favorite things to eat. I get her text, they’re on the way up, and I start sharing out the money. Kaylin takes her place with her bowl in hand, and I see it.

“No you didn’t.”

It’s not a total black out. Not yet anyway. You can hear the questions and the whispers. None of them however are stronger than the darkness. Reece is the last woman standing, and her platform is beginning to look like a trap. It remains erected, but it’s obvious she’s going to need to move around. It’s the look on her face that sends this message. It says she’s got a head full of thoughts. It’s not even on her chest. No, it’s right at the tip of her tongue. Her Diary- Reece I

Introduction to Freeborn

The Decks and the Road Book 1- Freeborn Introduction “You have not seen your life, until you’ve seen a circle.” In life we take the hands we are dealt, and hit the road. Sometimes the deck makes us a slave, and other times, the road wears us down. Then, every now and again we get a glimpse of the Freeborn ; the beauty that is born at the round-about. It’s a fragile beauty; a beauty that can be easily seen but not understood. It’s the beauty you hope will be with you forever. But, too bad; it was born free. It comes, it harnesses the wind, it creates a line in the sky, and then, it’s gone. The freeborn is not for the aspirational. It’s useless to aspire to. It’s not up to us who breathe, but it’s decided by the one who gives breath. The generations could not purge itself to exist this way; nor could traditions. It’s the resting of a hand—the touch of destiny; and boy is it sure to be victimized. Yet, never mind the all the sympathy. The Freeborn is nobody’s ga

There’s no succession; no respect for season. You blink and there it is. It appears weak in contrast, until you see a squirrel sitting there. There’s no sway. There’s no bounce. It’s there and it’s meant to be there. My life is the tiny branch, but my breath remains a set of wings… again, one tiny and one large. You should see it flying through the sky; my breath. If you can capture the image, you’ll say it’s not going that far. Ye
