XO “A missing runner Episode 10

We arrived at the out door concert. As it was just getting going. The first band was rocking out making the kids down below go wild viking off the magic of sound and the hypnotic light show.

I scanned the crowd with my eye as flashes of light shined down and across the crowd of youthful faces and mixture of social economic classes.

“It’s no good bro. You ain’t going to find him in that crowd.” Xena said.

“What’s my time?” I asked my sister again to distract her while I searched the crowd.

“Seven hours and thirty-three minutes until the next sun rise. We’ll have to call it and let authority handle it.”

I was silent for a moments and then my eye caught his face in the crowd on the far east side of the crowd. He was stationed near a wall smoking a cheery red cigarette and fresh blood on his jacket sleeve.

“He’s here. Bring it down near the east side. I’ll pick em up.” I said.

“‘Shit. Bro. How?”

I smiled. “A highly advanced cybernetic bionic eye, photographic memory, plus my OCD is a wonderful benefit to being me. Bring it down. I’m going in.” I said locking his location in my memory.

“Hold on tight. I’m taking it down. Close the door.” She ordered.

I slide the door closed and it locked. Xena raced it away toward a parking space. I started to open the door but it remained locked.

I started to ask her to open the door but Xena was already getting out of the car and leaving my door locked. I glared at her back as she raced away and then flowed into the crowd and disappeared.

James Potter and The Court of Owls ebook

Well it’s done. Version 0.1

of the Court of Owls.

This is the completed work

This has been a learning experience. I’ve come to some conclusions about this site and what best to put up and what I will do going forward with this blog/website.

Long form content doesn’t work for this website. My short form stuff does well and I produce enjoyable podcast and audiobook stuff. It is what it is.

The plan

Very short stories 50%

Short audiobooks 40%

Writing tips 1% or less

The readership for James Potter and The Court of Owls on this website was a complete failure. So there is no reason to produce this type of content for this site. So now I have to figure out what readers want from this site and give it to me. That said, I have concluded I am better off writing about things or in genres people care about on other platforms.

Off this site I achieved my goals for writing the story and I will proceed to write more content on other websites and about subjects people care about.
