“Good,” the being said. “I'll be keeping an eye on you.” Then it vanished, leaving the two of them alone with each other in the beautiful garden.
After a moment passed, the two naked people ran around the grass, pointing out the various shapes along the horizon. There were hundreds of different fruit trees and berry bushes, so much vibrant, colorful food hanging around for them. They continued to explore, setting up home at the base of the tree's roots. The breeze was much stronger on some of the hilltops as they wandered.
They both jumped over the fence. Curiosity drove them as they rushed over a field of pure ash. It was soft and eerie to feel on their bare feet. Together, they climbed to the peak of a dune of black ash.
They peered over the edge as the sun began rising. The light streaked through the atmosphere, playing with the colors to the couple's amusement. In the distance, resting in the middle of the valley of soot, was a newly constructed, shiny-as-chrome metallic angel.
About the Author
Phoenix Williams wears pajama pants under his jeans in the winter. He has a ham tattooed to his chest and played Tiny Tim in a play as a child. He started out in literature by ripping off Dr. Suess and writing a sequel to The Lorax which he called The Truffula Tree. Ever since, he has tried his hand at comedy sketches and songs, but novels are his true love.
He was raised in Salida, Colorado by his ridiculously supportive parents Jim Williams and Dorothy Cladas. The father is a writer himself and an experienced publisher, among many other things. The mother was an editor and is a children's story writer. Phoenix has two brothers, one older and one younger. Imagine that. His older brother, Llowell, graduated from CU in Boulder, CO and is a journalist of multiple medias. All these writers. His younger brother, Hayden, was born entirely hearing impaired, and is a senior in high school with grades that make Phoenix jealously proud and a love for doing mentor work with hearing impaired children.
A Guardian Angel is the result of over three years of constant writing, rewriting, revision, proofing, and nervous planning. Phoenix decided to publish himself because wanted to offer a free version alongside a paid one. The author believes that those with little money to spare should not be excluded from the things they want to do, particularly if that is reading his work. He writes out of love and would be content not to make a dime if a few readers were touched by this hypothetical tale of tragedy.
