The Minions of Time (2008)
“As soon as he had left, darkness fell over the land like a blanket. Even people with normally happy dispositions walked with heads down or stayed inside behind closed blinds.
It is to this locale and away from the primitive life of the Lowlands that we return now to walk lighted streets on paved sidewalks. This is much like your world, with cars and planes and audio players and bullies in the hallway. It is a world vastly different from what Owen has experienced in the Lowlands, yet it has many... of the same concerns. But these people cannot see the fight going on around them.
Through the shadows of this world, on a street with few cars and only one business still open toward the end of that street, walks a young girl, a cape drawn over her shoulders and gathered about her head. She seems to know exactly where she is going, but sometimes she fearfully peers out of her cape to look behind her or across the street.
She passes under a streetlamp, and it suddenly flickers and flashes. She looks up, and just before the lamp goes dark, we are able to see her face—beautiful, soft and tender, and full of charm.MoreLess
