It's been a while for Rhodri, and he didn't realize the changes (to her & the home) had taken place there. He's a guy. LOL

This excerpt is just a quick remembrance from the protagonist's POV. He's sitting in a car and remembers this past and how the "voice" changed him. Of course, he kills a woman in this chapter too but I gave you the nicest chapter/version of this character. :-)
Up to this point in the story Camalus, or Mawry as his present day name is. He is not a nice person - very evil. Most of my beta's said that although they didn't like Mawry/Camalus cuz he was evil this "remembrance" helped them understand him better.
And knowing that it’s from Chapter 27 tells me nothing in relation to where this takes place in the story, so perhaps you’ll take pity on me and post some more. I’d love to read it.
I'd love to post more for opinions (since I am in editing stages) but don't want to be a board hog. This story is quite long and I need to shave off some word count - so I will be posting up things soon as I rework them. Thank you. :-) I'm happy you're intriqued.
I'm glad you liked it, and love the voice he hears. I often wondered if "the voice" comes off right as it is always there.
