Across the Sound

The Sound is a place of spirits, a limbo where time is different than time in the outside world. Some are here to help, some to teach and learn, some to live out the time they'd been promised, only to find it suddenly cut short. For some it is their purgatory, for others the foyer to heaven. Tonight a golden light passes over. The veil is thin and easily lifted. Stewart the cat wants more than his share and anxiously waits to steal it. Tempted by a quicker access to immortality, he is so easily lead toward darkness.
