Poison Woman - excerpt



Here is the next paragraph of my budding story, inspired by my time in the high desert of New Mexico on my honeymoon.  This story definitely has a life of its own, a past life:


"He must cleanse and ask the Great Spirit for guidance.  He would find her. Avenge his brother and restore his honor.  She could not run forever. He would cleanse his mind and rid it of the impure thoughts, distractions and most if all the memories.  He would become the arrow.  The Great Spirit surely would guide him, for justice - so his brother’s spirit could rest.  Then he could return and continue his own journey, the Old One was only partly right; the path of the shaman was through the path of the warrior."
