The sacrificial Lamb

To write sober letters is one thing. It is quite another to actually act more responsible, for lack of a better term. To feel it appears next to impossible. I find it hard to keep my own tongue in check. Harder still not to say what I really think. I wonder how long I can […]

May 5th 1855

“God’s Grace”. That is the name of the ship I managed to get on board and hopefully go savely to the Americas. She looks sturdy enough. But then, I’m not much of a sailor. I know nothing about ships like this.

The Crossroads Demon III
