EXCERPT
Tenth hour would take an eternity to arrive, but
they both had to attend to their duties. Although Cameron seemed suitably
impressed by his appointment, it didn’t improve Farrell’s mood.
He stopped himself as he started to think of ways
to get out of dinner. Not going wasn’t an option. More importantly, Heminaltose
only allowed Farrell brief visits to Yar-del City to see his mother. Skipping
dinner meant one less chance to spend time with her. And he’d see Cameron at
tenth hour.
“Boy.” The deep voice behind Farrell made him
freeze.
He turned slowly but already knew who he’d find.
“Master Heminaltose.”
Dressed in his formal blue-gray robe, he leaned on
his white wooden staff and tilted his head to the left. “What brings you to
this out-of-the-way place? And why are you just standing there?”
Farrell had been in trouble often enough to know
his master suspected him of something. When he tried to answer, his mouth went
dry and his tongue turned to stone.
“Well?” The older man raised his bushy white
eyebrows and peered down his nose at his student. “I’m waiting for an answer.”
His euphoric mood dashed, Farrell knew better than
to lie. “I came here to meet someone.”
“Someone?”
“Yes, Master, someone.” This approach never worked,
but he’d been too embarrassed to answer directly.
“Don’t treat me like a fool.”
Despite being at least an inch taller than his
teacher, Farrell felt like Heminaltose towered over him.
“I’m not, Master. I… I just….” His cheeks flushed
and he started to sweat. “I’d rather not say.”
“Excuse me?”
“It’s private.”
“Private? You mean…?” Heminaltose jerked his head
back and his eyes opened wider. “By the Six! Now? Your hormones have decided to
kick in now?”
AUTHOR BIO: Andrew Q. Gordon wrote his first story back when
yellow legal pads, ball point pens were common and a Smith Corona correctable
typewriter was considered high tech. Adapting with technology, he now takes his
MacBook somewhere quiet when he wants to write.
He currently lives in the Washington, D.C. area
with his partner of nineteen years, their daughter and dog. In addition to dodging some very
self-important D.C. 'insiders', Andrew uses his commute to catch up on his
reading. When not working or writing, he enjoys soccer, high fantasy, baseball
and seeing how much coffee he can drink in a day.
