Sunday Scribblings - Faith


"You must believe, Je'anna Marie." The Zafting Fulgurate ran a gentle finger down along the tracks of Je'anna's tears.


"I'm trying," she sniffed. "But it gets harder each time you leave."

The helicopter blades whipped overhead sending her hair into a frenzied dance around them both.

"I know it does, but I'm careful and I'm tough. I will return to you, just as I have before."

"But what if you don't, Mama? What if you don't come home?"

"If I don't come back Je' then the powers will move on to you and your Granny Loo will train you further in their use. But have faith in my love. Know that I will do everything in my power to come back to you."
