Comments on 'The Extra Passenger - The Name In His Book'The funnel expanded, the sludge of the Master's former substance pouring into an unseen mold, filling it. A human shape, and the flutes trilled loudly in Hoven's ears, piercing his eardrums and making his nose and eyes bleed. He fell to his knees in the presence of the god--

Hoven looked into the beatific face of the angelic man. His skin was an unnatural black, black like light fell into him and was lost, but Hoven could see the man (or what appeared to be a man) _in his soul_. The Messenger had high cheekbones and a delicate nose, almond-shaped eyes; Egyptian features, the face of a pharoah rendered in anti-light. The figure produced a book in one great hand, and pushed it at Hoven.
Yes, yes Hoven would sign his name in the man's book; and lo, it was written there though Hoven never moved.2008-02-18T03:02:51Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/13818Comment on The Extra Passenger - The Name In His Book<p>I’m a little confused.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13818?basename=419962008-02-18T03:02:51ZAlexa ♥http://ficlets.com/authors/alexa1018Comment on The Extra Passenger - The Name In His Book<p>One other note about N.’s appearance here: it is <em>possible</em> that N. will have/will have had an encounter with Simon before… there <em>is</em> a story about a young wizard and an evil library out there in ficlet-land that I hope to come back to after NaNoWriMo ends… <em>mwah-ha-ha….</em> (Actually, I’m not promising anything other than my returning to that story—when I get back to it, I don’t know where it will go; but N.’s appearance there has been at the back of my mind, so….)</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13818?basename=233132007-11-15T18:55:02ZHowie Amourscowhttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_396Comment on The Extra Passenger - The Name In His Book<p>NaNoWriMo goes reasonably well, thanks for asking. I’m a few hundred words behind, but nothing that can’t be caught up during Thanksgiving.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13818?basename=233112007-11-15T18:45:16ZHowie Amourscowhttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_396Comment on The Extra Passenger - The Name In His Book<p>By the way, <strong>Howie</strong>, I’m glad to see the Cthulhu twist brought you out of hiding… or, you know, NaNoWriMo stuff.
