PREFACE

six strings

melodious peace

metallic taste that calms my heart

blurring tune that clouds my judgement

drifting sensation which dulls the mood

the harp

the harp

the harp

----REINA

Im asking you again, Jamie. Is Aslan telling us the truth?

Dont say it again. Please dont say it.

Tell them, Jamie, I begged silently. Tell them its true.

Tell them what you told me.

Tell them the truth

please Jamie

please don't do this too me

He looked at me and the words died in my throat.

Jamies eyes were cold and closed off, like a strangers eyes.

For the last time, no!

Come on, Dad. I only talk to this kid because you asked me to be nice to him.

Every word was like a dagger stabbing into me and just like that the air was sucked out of me .

My heart stopped beating .

Why Jamie?

Why?
