Friday Fictioneers: The Secret
PHOTO PROMPT © David Stewart
For a thousand years, she slept to keep a secret that she believed would have devastated the heavenlies and the land below.
She woke to find a war in the heavenlies and distribution in the land below.
The secret had been a lie told to her to keep her out of the way.
She had slept when she should have been awake.
She raised her warrior cry and fought to save all she held dear and loved.
After the war, where she once slept now sits an eternally blooming flower—a reminder that some things should never be kept secret.

This is not your typical science fiction novel. It’s set on a planet in the Pegasus Constellation, but there are no monster aliens, and no wars in space.
This trilogy is about people like Lieutenant Jessica M. Hewitt, Rona Montgomery, and High Priest Adumie who, like all of us, struggle with self-worth, rejection, and love relationships.
This trilogy might just be your next read.

Coming in 2020
Maybe she should have spoken up much sooner
You’re correct.
She thought she was doing the right thing. Turns out she was wrong. But she made up for it in the end.
All my dreams are war themed. Should I be worried? 😅
I recommend a fellow blogger who turns his war dreams into humor. https://dralimanonlife.com/2020/05/06/ff-of-men-and-fridges/
I’ll take a peep 😌
Better late than never. A cunning plan to keep her out of the way.
And hopefully a full book. Thinking about it. As if I don’t have enough to think about.
Wow this story really resonates with me. Need to go read the first one now.
This idea is floating around in my thoughts. I hope to come up with a full story and possibly a book.
Thanks for reading.
Nothing worse than when you are duped into silence. At least she did wake up!
Woke up and fix things. ;0)
