ISLAND IN THE SAND
Part XXIX
Star slept like she’d never slept in her life, awakening knowing that the depth of her sleep and her feeling of renewal and near total recovery was different from any other ‘get through the darkness of night’ experience of her life. She lay in the bed on her back, slowly coming out of her deep sleep as if rising from the bottom to emerge rested, but disoriented, while floating on the comforting sea of life.
i am so enjoying this as it unfolds. i hope to purchase a copy for my library and maybe a few to pass on to the grandkids
I will definitely publish when completed in Paperback and Digital Versions.
Thanks for your support, Sydney
James, I’m well and truly hooked on Island, Thunder Marine, all your short stories and 30 Days. I will never complain about the release dates of something that is free (thank you!) but I do want you to know that you are driving me batshit with anticipation. Please don’t let anything happen to you until you finish all three, I gotta know how all this turns out. Again, not to complain, but when did Wren have his sex-change operation? The first chapter ends with Wren singing “When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, he sang very, very quietly.” He is also referenced as being male in several of the earlier chapters. What happened? Thanks again for all the hard work!
WOW, what a careful reader, Tom.
I thought I would introduce transgenderism into the story. NOT really!
Thank you for bringing to attention and I believe we have defined Wren as a smart young lady in the early chapters,
at least through Part XI as of today

Your writing is really something. From putting the gritty reality of 30 Days has September to the fantasy writing of Island In The Sand. You are a really great who is not defined by one genre. Good work.
Thank you most sincerely Ernest. Means a lot for a rather laid back writer like me to receive such high praise…

It does get better and better with each episode, fantastic , a very big thumbs up LT , 👍 . Jim.
Thanks Jim, it is a fascinating odyssey with plenty of modern allegory braided into the main body.
Thanks for caring and reading and commenting here….

Just keeps getting better and better!

I’m truly enjoying the technological access Jim! The post EMP quantum medium affect…great description! I think I get it! I’ve secretly wondered for some years whether or not radio-detection of rapid polarity shifts induced by ultra-high resonant magnetics was good for human cells but after-all, the image quality is jaw-dropping and exceptional, to say the least. I imagine over time the ability to understand and an inability to operate with understanding have been Marion’s most apparent legacy…of course, it’s not that hard to understand wanting to survive…what’s really hard to grasp is mostly what’s missing from the thoughts of alien entities…without knowing whether Marion was the catalyst for recovery or the tool of an alien purpose! How foreign must our own feelings become to our own existence, before they may be operated by another entity for the sake of others? Powerful questions, sir….Carry On! Semper Fi
Thanks D.D., much appreciate your analysis and you continuing autopsy of the work and its meaning.
A lot of fun to read your comments…

Odd! An NCIS fan once told me even Quincy was sick to death of autopsies!
I think Forensic Analysis actually became his predilection when Felix Unger passed! (Tony insisted!) Have fun….will travel!
Sometimes you are even too arcane for me, D.D. This comment was a bit beyond me…

Revelations surface. Makes one wonder how far any of the entities can be trusted including 91. The savant may be the key to understanding their reasoning. Who is it the house entity is reporting to? Like always more questions the answers. James has his own version of the never ending story.
It is interesting to contemplate where a novel like this is going.
Entertaining, I hope. I have quite a good time with it.
Semper fi,
Jim
