I'm back with a plot line that has thickened, the volume written in with more details and the writings begin with that mysterious man who was left behind Jessica's rumbling bus, saying her name. "Antanasia..." His name is Lucius Vladescu, an "exchange student" from the mysterious country of Romania. Jessica seems to at first not really take a second glance at the Romanian native, but all she had to do was cut through the tension. The tension between skin and blood veins that is. As the blood seep from a paper cut, she sees from the corner of her eye, Lucius staring at it and...licking his lips. That puts him at a 10 on the weirdness scale for Jess, but what she doesn't realize is that there is a reason for Mr. Vladescu's unnerving attention. As she rides home from school in her Mom's beat-up van, she sees him again at her mother's work-she works at a college- sitting on the stone wall. She tells her mother the whole story from him standing under the beech tree in a black cloak and boots to the licking of his lower lip as her paper cut started to bleed. Her mother doesn't react she had planned. She parks the car and walks up to her Romanian (and incredibly hot) stalker. Want more? Stay close by and keep on reading my posts.

Wow!! You've got me "hooked," Sydney... Beside being extremely scared of that picture that greeted me on the top of your page (just kidding), your words were expressive and intriguing. I want more!! This blog is more like a journey with an expert reader and less about a plain ol' book report which is something you should be extremely proud of. I am looking forward to "traveling" with you as you recount what has happened in you book and make personal connections. My only real request is that you try to avoid giving me bad dreams....
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your views so far and I look forward to checking out what is to come!!
Mr. L.
