“That don’t make me feel any better.” John grinned at his joke.
I sighed. “Sure, I forget to pick up one magazine and suddenly I’m senile.”
John had asked me two weeks ago during a quick run to pick up an Old Farmers Almanac and I had completely forgotten. He would have come but his leg was still recovering, the muscles having been torn up pretty bad. He’d more than likely have a small limp for the rest of his life.
“A very important magazine,” he said with no real anger.
I shook my head and returned to staring at my paper.
“You think this place will be okay?” he asked conversationally.
I shrugged. “Who knows? They could’ve already moved on for all we know. Or maybe they’re actually a commune that worships lizard gods.”
John rolled his eyes at that.
I smiled into the fire, the flames dancing before my eyes and whispered, “Or, this would be paradise.”
THE END
Author’s Note
Yes, this is the end, my friends. Well, the end of this series, anyways. I am so happy that you decided to give my little slice of fiction a try (at least I assume you have if you’re reading this). This Would Be Paradise was my very first book and my first series. There will always be a special spot in my heart for it, but that’s the thing with hearts—they have lots of room. I will be moving on to another series that will fall under the Urban Fantasy genre. If you are interested in hearing more, please check out my website: http://ndiverson.weebly.com/
I will be giving away free advanced reader copies of the first UF book (when I actually write it) in exchange for honest reviews. If this is something you would be interested in, please contact me here and I will put you on the list: http://ndiverson.weebly.com/about-the-author.html (disclaimer: you must have a valid Amazon account where you can post the review from)
And, if you enjoyed this series, please consider leaving a review. Reviews and word of mouth help support indie authors and keep them typing away. Know that you would have my eternal and undying gratitude (too cheesy?) and somewhere out there, you would be putting a smile on my face!
Thank you once again for reading!
