Chapter 1: James the Greater

Chapter 1.jpg

Day after day passed, yet I remained -
a shell of the woman I used to be,
numb from the pain,
trying to stop the world from spinning for just a moment.

And then He entered my life.

It’s like I was drowning, but the sea lifted me up and tossed me out onto the shore, right at his feet.
He scooped me up.

Through the groggy haze, I heard his voice and saw his silhouette.
Something strange happened then -
Somewhere deep in the charred remains of my heart I felt the spark of a tiny ember that had remained,
and before I knew it a fire reignited within me,
amongst the coals I feared would forever remain cold.

Our time together was short,
but he breathed life back into my soul,
and showed me that I could,
once again,
feel something...
