Author has written 26 stories for Twilight, and Homestuck.
I used to be edwardcullenmaniac, then I was some other stupid thing, but now I'm dot823, if any of you are wondering...
My current top fandoms: Homestuck, Hetalia, Doctor Who, Supernatural and Sherlock.
What to expect from me around now: (June of 2014) I took a break from writing due to school and reality. I'm back now for the moment, but not sure how much I'll write. I'm currently really into Homestuck still, so I'll probably only write Homestuck fics. I have an idea for a Superwholock fic but I don't know if I'll write it. I'll try to get a chapter in each of my current fics up some time soon, and try to wrap up some of them. I don't think I've lost interest in any of them and I do not plan on abandoning them.
A long time ago this happened: My stories placed second and got an honorable mention in Child-Of-God13's contest, KITTY KILLER! placed second, and Unexpected was mentioned. thanks to everyone who helped! Especially beta's, bluefox and AspensAngel!
I made this account for Twilight fanfiction quite a long time ago. I haven't written Twilight fanfiction in ages and I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to it. I'm still in the fandom, I'm just in a lot of fandoms and Twilight's taking a back seat at the moment.
faves(as of December 2013):
songs: I love a lot of music. At the moment some of my favorite songs are songs from Disney movies and Homestuck Off-Broadway music. I also really love multi-language music put together because of Hetalia, and Greek music's pretty good. Also, music made about Tumblr and fandoms can be really good.
animals: I currently love cats, hedgehogs, chinchillas, and bulls. frogs are good too. and Platypies/Platypusses or whatever the hell.
books/series': Currently I love anything by John Green and Tamora Pierce. The Twilight series still holds a place in my heart. The Warriors books by Erin Hunter also has a place in my heart, although I'm several books behind. Hunger Games, Ellen Hopkins, um...there are really a lot but I don't have my bookshelf available at the moment.
movies: Disney animated movies are amazing. Especially Tangled. I love Tangled.
tv shows: Doctor Who, Supernatural, Sherlock...
other things I love: Hetalia and Homestuck, definitely. And tumblr is great. If you want to know if I'm alive, check tumblr. My url is dot823.
these are pictures from my stories, they say what they are and the story(recently cleared out dead links);
Edwards crown from Notes with Bella and The Gang
Bellas royal clothes in Notes With Bella and The Gang
Rosalies dress from Notes With Bella and The Gang
Some of my favorite headcanons:
I like to think that Tavros is part Greek and part Spanish and/or Hispanic. My reasoning for him being Greek is that 'tavros' is Greek for bull, and it is also the Greek spelling for 'Taurus.'
I think that Tav's favorite thing on the playground when he was a kid would have been the swings, because it would make him feel like he was flying.
If he were human, Sollux would be a chimera; two fertilized eggs that merged into one embryo in the womb. Either that, or he would have eaten his own twin in the womb.
Tavros goes through periods of time where he's really depressed. He's really good at hiding it though, and usually just tries to avoid seeing people too much when he's like that. Nobody can usually tell, except maybe Aradia before she died. Usually, this lasts a little while, but then he'll go back to being genuinely happy.
Dave is still a little lanky, Dirk is more well built, Bro is much more built, and Dirk's bro would have been lanky with some muscles.
Tavros has freckles on his cheeks and the bridge of his nose.
Tavros is 5'10" without counting his horns.
Dave is 6'1" as an adult.

Hendon named key election 2015 battleground by Labour
Hendon has been pinpointed as a key battleground constituency by the Labour Party as Britain marks the halfway point between the 2010 and 2015 election.
The north London constituency was won by Conservative Matthew Offord at the last general election. Mr Offord triumphed over his rival, Andrew Dismore, by just 103 votes.
In a list, published on the website Labour List, Hendon is placed third in the rankings of seats the party considers key targets in two year's time.
The last census reveals that Barnet's Jewish population is the largest in the UK, rising by nearly 16 per cent to 54,084 over the last decade. Another Conservative-held Barnet constituency – Finchley and Golders Green – appears at 89 on the list, which is compiled in order of the swing necessary for Labour to win.
The Cannock Chase seat currently held by Conservative MP Aidan Burley, who faced national embarrassment in 2010 after reports surfaced of him at an allegedly Nazi-themed stag party, is at number 50. His opponent, Janos Toth, is the son of a non-Jewish Holocaust refugee who fled Poland to escape the Nazis.
Other seats on the list include Liberal Democrat seat Manchester Withington, Harrow East, now represented by Bob Blackman but Labour between 1997 and 2010, and Brighton Pavilion, held by Green Party MP Caroline Lucas. Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather's Brent Central seat is 23rd on the list while Lee Scott's Ilford North constituency is 83rd.

A little afraid where this may Go.:
Oooohhhh Billly!!!!
hmmm, you should tell BP, how to get man boobs like this, these feel nice.....real..... nice
I saw Shockey come up from behind someone Sunday and was grabbing him like in this picture as they ran off of the field.
I was hoping someone would put a pic of that here on "caption this".
That guy behind looks alot like Shockey????
"Attempting to be funny and scare Parcells, Tony Romo carries a life-size
Billy Cundiff action figure out on to the field during a field goal try.
Unfortunately, the joke was on Romo when he accidently pressed the 'kick'
button and the Billy Cundiff action figure kicked the ball which missed wide right."
Fairy tales can come true. They can happen to you.
Story by:
Lois Einhorn
Tuskogee Telegram
Ray Finklejagt attempted to sneak onto the field and kick a field goal in a Billy Cundiff disguise. Tony Romo, the teams quarterback, smelled the distinct odor of alcohol, instantly realized who it was and proceeded to carry the lifetime underachiever to the sidelines. His body was never found.
Romo: mmmm, what is that smell, billy?
Cundiff: Parcells! This isn't part of my contract! I want Henson holding my kicks!
Cundiff: Tony his THIS BIG!
Cundiff: "Will you still love me when you are the starting QB?"
Romo: "UHHH, of course I will Billy"
Cundiff: "Tony, is that you? For a second I thought it was Jeff Garcia."
:laugh1: :laugh1:
Stupid Cowboy fans....!!!
"Great kick Skip!! Is it okay if I call you Skip?"
Things I have to do to be the starting QB.
You mean like this sandtrapp??
"Are we gonna get hopped enough to make some bad decisions?' And perhaps play a little game called 'Just the Tip.' Just for a second, just to see how it feels, or 'Ouch Ouch, You're on My Hair.'"
This is the gayest thing ever posted on here, its gayer than the naked leopard man its so gay I just knitted a sweater for my cat.

Several things mark the forthcoming PDC out from other Microsoft conferences I've
The fact that it's sold out so quickly, wildly ahead of expectations in this difficult
economic climate. (That's not marketing fluff – we would definitely have planned for
additional capacity if we'd known in advance that it would be so popular.)
That we're giving out bits without requiring NDA for a major Windows revision that
won't be released for another two years.
The number of dress rehearsals that are taking place all over campus for the breakout
sessions. I certainly don't recall this happening at previous PDCs – perhaps I just
wasn't on the right internal mailing lists before, but most of the sessions are being
run for internal audiences with the aim of getting as much constructive feedback as
possible to hone the sessions still further.
If you're not going to the PDC, you'll still be able to get much of the technical
detail by identifying attending bloggers whom you trust. I'm planning to post my notes
here each day, and you'll be able to read others' opinions at pdcbloggers.net.
Only ten days to go!

I manage this condo for the delightful owners. I have been a Maui resident for more than 15 years. I enjoy helping people find accommodations on Maui that fit their needs and providing information about what to do and see while on their vacation. I offer personal service and attention to all my guests during the reservation process and during their stay. Personal attention is one of the many assets that make this vacation rental unique. The condo is lovely, well maintained, nicely furnished and the ocean views are incredible. You will love it here. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.
This property was actually more than I expected. The photos do not truly capture the amazing and extensive view that literally changes everyday. The property was clean, well-maintained and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable retreat. We could not find a better view at any restaurant so we prepared several meals on-site, which was made easy because the kitchen was fully functional. This place is very quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for a slower pace, tranquil retreat, this is for you. Activities close at hand are hiking, sitting on the beach, snorkeling, golf, drive along the coast and shopping.
My family and I were not prepared for how beautiful this condo was. The pictures do not even capture half of the beauty of this condo! Not only is the condo immaculate, the finishings are very special too. We enjoyed spending our mornings on the patio and watching the snorkelers (the most beautiful snorkeling spot is right in front of the unit). We snorkeled with turtles and some of the largest fish I have seen in Hawaii...all right in front of the condo! The ability to have access to a kitchen that has everything made meals during the day so easy. It was very nice to not have to sign a bill anytime you wanted a beverage or snack.
Maria met us at the condo, and she was very pleasant (and organized). She made booking and arriving at the very easy for all of us. We cannot wait to come back. I have already shared it with many of our friends...
From the minute we walked in, we knew we were in heaven!! Unit F204 at Makena Surf has everything you want in a Maui vacation and more. The property is in the perfect location - facing the ocean with views of Molikini and other islands. Every where you look, you can see the ocean!! I have to say that this is a prime location on the island as the beaches and snorkeling are great with plenty of sea turtles to see. Every morning, multiple excursions were in our coves to prove how good of a snorkeling area it was. The owner has spent the time to think of any amenity a vacationer would need and provide it - fully stocked kitchen with "extras", nice and plentiful linens, beach chairs, towels, cooler and umbrella, paper products, etc. The unit is very clean and has all the space you need to unpack and settle in. All you have to do is pack your clothes, buy food and you're all set! Maria is extremely helpful both before and after you arrive to ensure you have everything you need - she even has a very thoughtful "welcome basket" full of goodies!! There are plenty of nice restaurants and shopping within a few minute drive of Makena Surf and easy paths to take for running. The central location allows you to get to all parts of the island quickly and come back to the quiet, serene environment that Makena Surf has to offer. Coffee in the morning and sunsets in the evening are amazing from the lanai. This unit was so nice that we had a hard time leaving it to explore other parts of the island. While the photos are accurate of this unit, they don't do it justice.
Great location close to beach with great snorkeling area right in front of this special unit. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get which is over the top wonderful. Everything you need is at your finger tips to make your stay so enjoyable. The owners take great pride in their property and opening up of their beautiful home. You are just minutes away from wonderful restaurants, shopping and other fun adventures in this beautiful Makena location. The manager of the unit Maria is wonderful, so helpful and right there if you need any assistance. There was a problem with the microwave and she had another one to us which she personally delivered right away. We love this so much it will be a same time next year for us!
Words cannot express the beauty of this condo. From the moment you walk in the feelingi is expansive and grand (but liveable). The ocean virtually surround you. The modern and fully equipped kitchen is a gormand's delight. Walk 100 yards down the tropically landscaped pathway and you are on the beach. On the way, you pass one of the two pools that are abundantly furnished and offer you your choice of sun or shade. Add to this the wonderful services of Maria, the delightful property manager,and you have a perfect vacation.
My husband and I returned to Maui for our 10th anniversary with our two small children. The view was breathtaking! I stood in the entryway to the living room area and was awestruck! All I could say was "awesome". We sat out on the lanai each night to look at the stars and the reflection of the moon on the water. The unit itself far exceeded our expectations. We hope to be able to stay there for our 15th anniversary! I will plan our trip around the availability of this unit. When we were married, we stayed in a suite at the Fairmont Kae Lani. We would rather stay at Makena Surf F204!
A perfect location for a perfect vacation. We've stayed at many VRBO rentals but this one at the Makena Surf ranks near the top. The views are spectacular from the moment you walk in the front door and peer down the hallway. It is truly a special place and one which was very hard to say good bye to after the week long stay. Waking up to the ocean waves just yards away and having breakfast out on the lanai before swimming among the fish and turtles was unforgettable. Maria did an outstanding job coordinating all of the details and was very responsive to all of our inquiries. The grounds of the Makena Surf were very well maintained and had a feeling of a tropical paradise. We hope to return again many times.
Makena Surf is centrally located on the island making it a perfect place from which to venture out and see all that Maui has to offer. It also has much to offer without even leaving the resort. The snorkeling, swimming, boogie boarding, paddle boarding and diving right off shore are some of the best in Hawaii. There are on-sight lighted tennis courts and two pools with outdoor spas by each. Within a short drive are some of the best white sand beaches on the island. You can visit a different one every day of your stay. Go golfing at the world renowned Wailea Gold, Blue & Emerald and Makena courses or go shopping or dining at The Shops at Wailea, are all within 2 miles. Learn to scuba dive, snorkel, or surf nearby or take a Blue Water Raft trip to the island of Molikini and the sea caves. Go on a whale watching adventure where you are guaranteed to see whales. Heck, you can even see them from your private lanai at F204 along with dolphins and sea turtles. Experience the beauty of a volcanic mountain top at Haleakala. Hike through layers of colorful lava rock, and encounter native Hawaiian species found nowhere else in the world. Watch the sunrise at 10,000 feet and see the tops of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the big island of Hawaii. Drive the two lane road to Hana to see the north shore and the magic of the windward side of Maui. Visit Maui Ocean Center. The 2,000 awe-inspiring fishes, sharks, corals, and various sea-life are breathtaking. Don't miss the interactive whale discovery center. Flight seeing excursions are available by helicopter to Hana and the Haleakala Crater or do the circle island tours. Go on a private kayak tour that includes whale watching, snorkeling, bottom fishing and distance paddling. They leave out of Wailea - a mile from Makena Surf. Go hiking in the Iao Valley or on the lava beds at LaPerouse. Go zip lining for thrills and a unique way to see hidden parts of the island. Spend the day at Lahaina, the historic whaling village rich in history and art. Maui has a broad range of activities and adventures all within a comfortable drive from Makena Surf resort. There is something for everyone on Maui and people usually leave the island with only one regret – that they didn't get to stay longer.

How Hits Happen: Forecasting Predictability in a Chaotic Marketplace
by Winslow Farrell
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 088730978X, Paperback)How is it that certain sites become the superstars of the World Wide Web? What makes Internet-based stores and services, such as America Online, burst into public consciousness? The process is the same, Farrell explains, as that which took Hootie and the Blowfish from bar band to supergroup at record speed or made Beanie Babies the national craze.
Farrell shows how social interactions create hits, both online and off. Better yet, he demonstrates how computer models are using the mathematics of complexity theory to help predict the hit or flop potential of new ideas, products, and services. What makes the models so fascinating is that they behave as groups of individual consumers, running in simulated communities inside the computer, approximating the reactions of their flesh-and-blood counterparts.
While the principles here apply to the entire world of business, they are particularly essential for those who wish to create an audience or customer base on the Internet, where the hit-creating (and preventing) forces seem to be particularly volatile. And while Farrell makes it clear that hits cannot be manufactured on demand, he is able to provide good advice on tactics, which can swing the odds more in your favor. --Elizabeth Lewis

I Never Wanted To Be A Hero
He never wanted to be a hero, but he should have known freedom would never come without a price.
I never wanted to be a hero. But my country needed me, especially once other countires got involved.
I had used to think I was useless, pathetic and much, much more. But now I see the truth, my life is but a distant echo of what it should be, leaving me, waiting for me to fall into deaths cold embrace. My next adventure. Life: what is goddamn point? We live, we learn, we love, we die, and then were forgotten. Nobody will remember this small stain upon the canvas that is humanity. Only fame is revered by anyone in this egotistical society we call, in certain terms, the human race. We paint but a small, truly insignificant part of a bigger picture.
Now however, I look in a mirror, seeing haunted eyes staring backing at me. I see as I look at myself, all the lives that were lost in the final battle of WWII. Innocent people, fighting for their fredom. Shame, shame is the feeling that fills my soul as I remember that I'm a survivor. Why did I have to survive? Was my soul purpose in life to kill a madman whilst millions of others died around me? Mothers, Fathers, Sisters and Bothers, did they deserve what they got as death engulfed them?
If only everyone out there knew. Knew that life is ever growing, ever evolving, changing until the things we once knew, are sat growing mouldy in an old history textbook. We all strive to go down in history...Or be known in the future. Are the two really the same? What will we really be known as to the generations to come? Foolish...Idiotic perhaps?
After all, power was a deadly motive for the evil that had walked the earth just recently. Luckily he was gone now. The bastard that had torn apart so many lives, mine being just one of them was finally gone.
I don't know how others do it. They handle the hero status really well; they deserve the attention now, even if they don't want it. They watch as people thank them for what they did, hiding what they really feel from all but their closest friends and family.
People tell me I'm a hero, just like them and that I should be proud.
But I never wanted this…
I never wanted to be a hero…

What You Need To Know When Sending Your Child To Summer Camps. Equip your child's toolbox with the 8 Keys of Excellence the most important tool in your child's life! Build his confidence, communication skills and learning 'how to learn' strategies.
But not all enrichment camps are created equal. Here are some points to consider when evaluating programs for your son or daughter for this summer.
Does the area of enrichment have any practical application to your child's academic future?
Several camps position themselves as "enrichment programs" when, in reality, they are glorified and expensive vacations for the students who attend. Do the kids like these camps? You bet. But before signing up, take a good look at the program's schedule of activities. Close inspection may reveal that there's far more downtime and unstructured free time than there is quality enrichment.
There's nothing wrong with indulging your son or daughter in one of these programs, some of which are held in Europe, on cruise ships and in tropical locations. Just know that there may be little or no lasting value to the student or the parents in this investment.
What kind of training and expertise does the staff possess?
If a summer program bills itself as providing new skills to participants, then make a point to learn about the background of the staff who will teach these skills. Are the program leaders teachers themselves or experts in a particular field? Also, inquire as to the training they receive. Many summer programs scramble at the last minute to hire summer staff and, as a result, the experience and training of some staff members may be lacking.
Is there a balance between learning and fun?
The last thing a student needs in summer is more school. A good summer enrichment program gives students the feeling that they're at camp, not back at school. While some programs try to combine learning and fun by giving the campers adequate free time, the best camps incorporate fun right into the learning. When a student enjoys the learning process, the brain does a better job of assimilating and retaining the new information.
In what ways can a program enrich a student's life?
When most people hear "summer enrichment" they think of academic enrichment. Clearly, when students are able to acquire new skills in such areas as creative writing, reading comprehension, problem solving and critical thinking, they benefit. But if a camp offers them growth in life skills areas that build their confidence, motivation and self-esteem, as well as their communication and leadership skills, then you've found a summer enrichment program that can help a student grow in school and in life.
What's a good length of time for a summer enrichment camp?
There is no set length that is best. Students do benefit from some downtime in the summer, so a program that runs three or more weeks may be excessive and expensive. On the other hand, camps that last just a few days will have limited value. Similarly, day camps don't have the same impact as residential enrichment camps, where students get to stay on-site for the duration of the program. Teens, in particular, are nocturnal. Some of the best learning can come in the evening sessions of summer programs. Look for enrichment camps held on college campuses. Middle school and high school students enjoy the experience of living in college dorms for a week or more. It can even prove to be inspirational as they begin to think about college.
In summary, sending your son or daughter to the right summer enrichment program can pay long-term dividends for the entire family. Newly acquired academic skills, increased motivation or added confidence can translate into better grades, as well as new academic and personal interests. In turn, this growth can lead to better colleges, college scholarships and rewarding careers.

This girl Reece gives us a guide via Snapchat on how to take a dick pic.
We can only assume she has received more than her fair share, as she seems very knowledgeable on the subject.
On a serious note, it's quite funny. Fair play to her.
She should have concentrated more in maths instead of looking at pictures of willies though, as it would appear that she can't count to 7 properly.
Still, I'm gonna try these out tonight, number 7 looks like fun…. Who's got Snapchat?

Chapter Sixteen, Part Two: The Divine Cavalcade, Part TwoMature
In the back of the bus, so to speak, Borusa is glued to the windowed views, her frosty child-face locked in happy conflict with the scenery of Space outside.
"Are we there yet?" she asks softly, her blue saucer eyes fixed on one particular star, out there.
Out there.
"I think he's got another convert…" River says under her breath, smiling at Borusa as she works the shuttle console manually with her hands, out of habit.
Jack moves his foot from the console in dismay, affronted by the admission.
"What do you mean, he? Who are -you- talking about?" Jack breathes, rising a little in his excitement before he thinks to catch himself.
And it's too late, because she's noticed. She's seen him. River Song…
He asks again, hoping.
"So what did you mean? My being curious doesn't equal a win for you. I'm just being sociable."
But River Song just smiles red lips and says, "Spoilers..."

Goddess Kali Puja Preparations
Just a fortnight after Durga Puja, people across the millennium city gears up for Kali Puja and Diwali celebrations. As this year the torrensial rain and cyclone Philin drenched the Durga Puja , the Puja Committes gears up for festive with plans to celebrate this occasion with fervor and gaiety. In Cuttack city around 65 mandaps will be erected worshiping the dark-coloured deity with a garland of human skulls, tongue piercing out and stepping on a lying Lord Shiva. Kali Puja in Cuttack city is believed to have started much before the concept of Durga Puja. It is believed that this puja started in the city about 500 years ago and the concept of idol worshiping started when Bengali's brought this tradition to Odisha/Orissa during 16th century.
Among all the idols in Cuttack, the Goddess worshiped at Bakhrabad area is unique. It is called "Chhinamasta" or headless Goddess who chopped her head. The idol here holds her severed head on one hand while three streams of blood rolls out of her neck. While one stream goes down to her mouth in the severed head other two goes down to the mouths of her two associates. Instead of stepping on the lying Shiva, the Goddess steps over an embracing man and woman on a lotus. But nobody knows for sure how Chhinnamastika form of worship began at Bakhrabad.While almost all the Puja mandaps celebrating Durga Puja ,Celebrates Kali Puja. But Bakhrabad is the only place where only Kali Puja is being celebrated .
Unlike Durga Puja 2015 Celebration , OdiaLive will bring you regular updates of the Festive of Cuttack .Stay Updated .

Rampworx has experienced reasonable success in recent years and this has been reflected in the number of nominations and awards it has been nominated for.
Ride UK Reader Awards – Skatepark of the year – 2013 & 2015

This is a prestigious award that recognises organisations like ours who provide a good service to its users in the area. It is thanks to the dedication and the hard work of the whole Rampworx team that we managed to win this Award. Most of all its you guys who come through our doors week in and week out and keep our skatepark open.
Skatepark of the Year – 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013
Rampworx was awarded skatepark of the year 3 years running between 2009 and 2011. This is a proud achievement for the facility as it is judged by people within the industry. Its getting more and more competitive as other skateparks up their game and offer better quality services. Therefore, we will keep working hard to offer you the best facilities available; in particular our new extension, which will make us officially the largest skatepark in Europe.
Active Club Award – 2010
In 2010, Rampworx successfully acquired Active Club Award status. The Active Club Award is an Accreditation Scheme designed to ensure that clubs and groups meet standards that will lead to better quality provision. Rampworx was required to go through an auditing process that will need them to provide evidence that the club has systems in place covering key areas of provision such as;
- Coaching and competition (Coaching qualifications, insurance, competitions programme)
- The protection and safety of children, young people, the elderly and vulnerable.(Child Protection policy, CRB checks, Code of Conduct)
- Sports equity and ethics – (Equal Opps policy, Codes of Conduct for parents etc., set of rules for children)
- Club Management – (Affiliated to Governing Body, Membership policy, Communication with parents/carers, school/club links
- Volunteer Management – (Volunteer Co-ordinator, volunteer roles, CRB checks, Volunteer mentors)
This accreditation will provide carers and parents with the knowledge that the clubs and groups are committed to providing a safe experience for youngsters. It will also provide schools and colleges with the confidence to promote clubs and groups to their pupils and students. Finally the scheme will put in place an internal auditing system within the club or group to ensure that standards are maintained into the future. (The Scheme will be vetted by Sefton Education).
Merseyside Young Persons Project of the Year – 2009

This is the prologue to a story that's been stewing in my head for more than two years now. I haven't written any more than this and I expect that it will continue to stew in my head for quite a while yet.
The moon shone down icy bright over the city of London that night, its pale, cold glow bathing the buildings and streets in a blanket of pearly-white light. A wet mist hung over the entire city, clouding lights, muffling sound, and covering every surface with a thin coating of dewy water droplets.
It was nearing midnight, the busy sounds of the city gone, replaced by the more nocturnal sounds of the wind down empty streets and stray dogs nosing around for scraps of food in narrow alleyways. Cats hissed and fought each other in the distance, and the small flutter and shrill squeak of bats could occasionally be heard as they swooped down from attics and church steeples in their nightly search for food.
Somewhere, there was a steady tapping sound, as though someone were hitting a stick against a rock, and the sound bounced down between the walls of the close buildings. It did not seem out of place, but rather as though it were meant to be, keeping all of the other noises in tempo.
Down a long, dark street, a shadow stirred and there was a gentle clicking of worn boots against the ground. A moment later, the source of the tapping was revealed as a figure emerged from between the buildings and into the fey moonlight.
The man was a poor, blind beggar who was known to everyone around simply as Old Rook. He was poorly clad, as one would expect a beggar to be, his hair untidy, long, and silver with age. His skin was rough and wrinkled, his brow furrowed by many years and trying times, but a faint smile still hovered about his lips, not quite happy, but bittersweet. Rook's eyes stared blindly and unblinkingly into the dense fogbanks, but he navigated his way with surprising ease, his feet taking him on paths that he had worn nearly as much as he had his boots. He carried a slight, wooden cane with him that he used not so much for direction, but to tap rhythmically against the ground, conducting the symphony of night sounds all around him.
Old Rook the beggar wandered through the still, but not-so-silent city, adding the sound of his own footsteps to the familiar nighttime noises. He wiped away a few drops of condensation that had formed on his forehead and hitched up the tattered leather bag that he carried on his shoulder as he turned a corner onto a broad cobblestone street.
Suddenly the tapping stopped and Rook froze. He cocked his head to the side like a squirrel that has detected a nearby predator and listened, his sightless eyes closed and his face lined with concentration. Here was a noise that did not belong to the usual nightly harmony. A sharp, but quiet sound, high-pitched, desperate, yet peaceful — the cry of a baby.
It came from around a bend not too far away and Rook started toward it, cane outstretched, ears listening intently.
On the street corner in a pool of liquid white moonlight was a small bundle wrapped in soft cloth, the quiet, gurgling cries emanating from it. A curious dog had ambled over and was sniffing and nuzzling the bundle with its wet, black nose. It's ears pricked up and it gave a small yip as Rook drew near.
"Shoo, shoo," said Rook quietly to the dog, waving his hand in its general direction for it to go away. The dog took no notice and merely looked hopefully up at Rook, panting loudly, tail wagging fast.
"I haven't got any food," said Rook. "I scarce get enough for myself, never mind the likes of you. You might as well clear out. Go on, shoo, shoo!"
The dog made no move to go away, but Rook gave up trying to negotiate with it and instead bent down and felt around on the ground until his hand came across the small bundle. He picked it up in his rough, dirty hands and held in up to his face. He could not see it, but he could tell what it was from the smooth, incredibly soft skin; from the whimpering cries and the tiny hand that reached up to grasp Rook's thumb.
The beggar's face broke into a broad smile and he caressed the infant's head with his gnarled old hands.
"What are you doing out here all alone, eh?" Rook whispered, stroking the baby child's short hair, feeling the face he couldn't see with his callused fingers. "This isn't a fit place to be for one so young as you."
The baby kept on crying.
"Sh, shh. It's alright now," said Rook softly. "It's alright."
Under Rook's quiet assurances and his gentle rocking, the little baby was pacified. It's wails settled to a soft cooing and the night was still and silent again.
As Rook rocked the baby in his arms, humming quietly, something fell from the blanket that swaddled it and fluttered to the cobblestones. Holding the child carefully in one arm, Rook stooped and retrieved the fallen item.
It was a slip of paper, wrinkled and damp from the moist air. Rook felt it with his hands. The old beggar could not read it, but he knew what it meant. This newborn child had been abandoned. It had been left by a parent who did not want it or could not take care of it. Rook held the infant close, comforting it from what it did not yet know, lamenting in what it could not yet grieve.
"You poor child," whispered the old man, "left for doing nothing more than what you couldn't help — for merely existing."
Rook held the baby to his chest with one hand, while he picked up his cane once again with the other. He tapped it against the ground, slowly, quietly as he could, so he would not wake the baby that was drifting off to sleep against his shoulder. Like a tattered wraith, he set off through the dark city. The dog followed, tail wagging.
He walked for some while, still holding the baby and listening to the noises that echoed all about him. Somewhere, distantly, a clock announced the arrival of the midnight hour with chiming shouts as Rook turned onto a shabby street where the buildings were so close together they blocked out the moonlight. He walked down the street until he came to a particularly ramshackle hut made of old wood and an odd assortment of this and that. He pushed aside the door, which was made from a torn and dirty blanket, and stepped into the shack's cramped interior.
Rook set the baby down on his cot and then sat down on the only other piece of furniture in the room: a three-legged stool. Rook stared at the infant with unseeing eyes. This was where the child would live for the first years of his life, though Rook didn't know it at the time. This abandoned child would be loved by someone similarly abandoned.
