She saw me. “Cemagna!
 
What are you doing awake?” Without a glance at the shattered mirror, she sprung from her bed and ran to me.
 

“I—I heard you.
 
You were talking about a promise,”
 
I said.

“It’s late and you’re tired.” She put her arms around me in a tight hug.

“You’re sad, Nessy.”

“Go back to bed, my little one.”
 
She ushered me down the hall to my bedroom, stroking my hair.
 
“Sometimes we don’t hear things correctly when we’re tired.”

That night was the last night I was ever afraid of thunderstorms. Something far more terrifying had entered my life.

About the Author

Stephanie Void spent most of her childhood indoors reading, since going outside meant the sun might kill her. Some of her favorite authors are Edgar Rice Burroughs, J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, Patrick O'Brian, and Madeleine L'Engle.
 

All this reading made her want to write stories herself, so she did.

When she isn't writing, she might be doing one of these other things: oil painting, graphic design, photography, singing, perfecting her Gollum voice for everyone's amusement, or enjoying nature.

Sometimes she mangles some songs with a string instrument and calls it violin playing.

Once somebody thought it was a good idea to give her a black belt and a teaching license in Shindoryu Aikijutsu.

She's from New Orleans, Louisiana but moved up to Boston to eat snow.

She loves hearing from readers; you can contact her at her website: stephanievoid.com.
