Ja'Qui's Escape
I don’t know what you believe in, friend. I don’t even rightly know what I believe in, given the circumstances… But I believe that fire remembered my name, probably remembered all of us it’d wronged over the years. And it atoned for its transgressions that night.
And I ain’t never been afraid of fire since then.
If you’ve been keeping up on the novel I’ve been writing (which, btw, I need to resume now that I’ve got a production rhythm going)… you should be somewhat familiar with Ja’Qui’s story. At least the part that’s been added to the book so far.
I wanted a soundtrack to Ja’Qui’s scramble through the forests to find what would eventually become known as Kalacria. Something intense and organic, but with moments of otherworldly influence. A theme that will continue throughout the book.
If I ever finish writing the damn thing, of course.
