Is this an excerpt from a novel that you are writing, Mitch? Forgive my ignorance 🙁 I’ve arrived in the middle of the party, I’m afraid. By the way, this is an intriguing story-line! I’m looking forward to more!
Never mind… I followed your link! Hurrah! Love it!
I wrote the book a few years back (sequels are planned), and have serialized it. You can read the book from the start here: https://mitchteemley.com/2014/10/08/the-wishing-map-1/
