First Post - Veni.

This kind of feels like shouting to an empty room right now, so I'll keep it brief.  This is my first post, and I'd like it to set a precedent.  I'll be using this blog as a way to get my writing out in the world, to get some interested fans perhaps, and hopefully some good critics as well.  I'll often be posting story fragments, to see if there is interest, and to gauge where my direction should be.

For my first post though, I choose... why, the first short story I ever wrote.  It may not be the best way to say hello to the intertubes, but it seems like a logical starting point.

Enjoy.

The Lastborn

     Droi sat in the rain with the mountain.  Neither spoke.  Droi squinted to avoid the big drops handed down by the branches above him and kept his eyes focused on the summit.  He drank from a stream that chattered busily about its business of carrying fish and glinting bits of mountain.
