The Healers Chronicles

Walking down the highway - barefoot, feverish, and in only a nightgown.



At least the storm had quit.



Now if I could get my chattering teeth to stop, it would help - maybe.



Up ahead, I see some stopped cars. Some have their lights on. Maybe I can get help. Too bad I can't travel any faster the way I am.



That's odd. Nobody in them. Lights on, but no one at home.



Except for a crying baby. And no one answers my calls either.



No, I can't leave her alone. At least there's a shawl they left with her and her blankets.



So she and I are on the road again. Toward the next town, which is just a couple of painful miles ahead.



Me and the baby have something else in common besides my barefoot walking and feeling alone...



Noner of us remember what happened to get us here.

Excerpt:



I woke up not remembering much of how I got here, where I was, or who I used to be.



There were two babies, one on each side of me, who were sleeping soundly. All of us in a big bed that was soft and warm.



My hair and white muslin nightgown were drenched. Like I'd been out in the rain with them. Even soaked the sheets a bit.



But the babies were both dry.



I could hardly move from where I was, since the top sheet and quilted patchwork comforter had been tucked in around all of us so tight.
