Okay, not a baby , and I guess it was only last week from my perspective. Simon finally convinced the elder Kiernan Dunne to bring his family over from Ireland. I helped, mostly by spending a few minutes talking to the woman, Cliona. She seemed a little in awe of me, probably because Simon was laying on the Sister Prudence stuff really thick. I told Cliona about the Farm up near Chicago--one of the five we have in the US now--and how there was plenty of work for them, and plenty of food. The kid clutching her skirts couldn't have been much more than four, a dark-eyed little guy who didn't say much. He didn't look like he'd been eating much lately either. "A baby?" Older-Me rolls her eyes. "Do you know how stupid that sounds? By all means, jump forward to when he's eighty if that's what turns you on. You saw him back at the Cyrus Teed resurrection, didn't you? He's growing up nicely." the-chronos-files time-s-mirror Rysa Walker
c5da801 The Kiernan kid was there when it happened, near the back of the barn. He'd been hanging out earlier with a younger version of Simon and this electrical engineer we recruited. Kiernan helped them set up the lighting so that I'd look all ethereal and otherworldly. I saw Kiernan's face after those people slit their throats to show their devotion to Cyrus. The boy's mouth hung open and he just stared at the bodies, as huge tears rolled down his cheeks. Seeing him there, seeing someone else looking the way I felt--I think that's the only reason I was able to hold it together until I got out of there. the-chronos-files time-s-mirror Rysa Walker
