- Tesseracts
- fold
- time
- and
- space.
- I
- inherited
- the
- ability
- to
- both
- find
- and
- control
- them.Unlimited
- access
- to
- all
- universes.
- Sort
- of.Yea,
- freaky.
- I
- know
- too
- well
- how
- freaky.So
- I
- spent
- my
- life
- on
- the
- move
- -
- through
- many
- times,
- and
- many
- spaces.
- Forgetting
- where
- and
- when
- I'd
- been
- wasn't
- an
- option.
- My
- salvation
- was
- mastering
- the
- trick
- of
- retracing
- my
- path.
- To
- find
- my
- original
- home,
- to
- find
- the
- love
- I'd
- lived
- so
- long
- without.It
- wasn't
- just
- missing
- a
- normal
- childhood.If
- I
- didn't
- figure
- out
- how
- to
- get
- my
- life
- back
- under
- control,
- I'd
- just
- be
- growing
- older.Alone.Without
- any
- home
- or
- family
- or
- lover
- to
- ever
- call
- my
- own.(Part

- of

- started
- out
- with
- a
- precise,
- formal,
- handwritten
- note
- on
- my
- desk.
- "Please
- leave
- some
- rope
- here.
- L.
- Tess"Who
- was
- Tess?
- How
- did
- she
- get
- into
- my
- cabin
- while
- I
- was
- asleep?
- Were
- the
- gals
- just
- playing
- a
- practical
- joke
- on
- me?But
- next
- to
- the
- note
- was
- a
- wildflower,
- one
- that
- flowered
- in
- summer,
- not
- in
- fall,
- never
- just
- before
- winter's
- first
- killing
- frost.As
- a
- mystery
- writer,
- I
- was
- hooked.
- Next
- best
- thing
- to
- a
- locked-door
- murder.
- I
- don't
- lock
- that
- single
- door
- to
- my
- cabin,
- but
- I
- also
- don't
- oil
- its
- hinges.
- And
- the
- floor
- wasn't
- so
- solid
- that
- I
- wouldn't
- hear
- the
- footsteps,
- unless
- they
- were
- barefooted
- -
- unlikely
- on
- these
- cool
- nights.So
- before
- I
- came
- in
- from
- my
- chores,
- I
- made
- a
- point
- of
- finding
- a
- length
- of
- rope,
- just
- about
- a
- dozen
- feet.
- No
- lasso
- or
- long
- work,
- just
- something
- that
- would
- be
- a
- "rope"
- without
- being
- something
- I
- couldn't
- untie
- if
- this
- was
- only
- a
- practical
- joke.I
- did
- my
- normal
- routine
- that
- day.
- Checking
- the
- cows,
- writing
- my
- next
- story,
- cooking
- my
- meals,
- putting
- things
- where
- they
- belonged
- when
- I
- was
- done.Just
- before
- I
- went
- to
- bed,
- I
- replaced
- the
- note
- and
- coiled
- that
- rope
- on
- top
- of
- it.Turned
- out
- the
- light,
- went
- to
- sleep.-
- -
- -
- -In
- the
- night,
- I
- felt
- an
- extra
- weight
- on
- the
- end
- of
- the
- couch,
- by
- my
- feet.Opening
- my
- eyes,
- I
- could
- see
- by
- some
- moving
- lights
- in
- my
- cabin
- that
- weight
- belonged
- to
- a
- someone.
- Sitting
- at
- the
- foot
- of
- my
- bed
- was
- one
- of
- the
- most
- striking
- young
- red-headed
- women
- I
- had
- ever
- seen
- in
- my
- life.Hazel
- eyes,
- perfect
- and
- plump
- ruby
- lips,
- wearing
- an
- outfit
- that
- was
- a
- little
- revealing.
- But
- only
- because
- it
- was
- in
- motion
- -
- along
- with
- some
- little
- shining
- and
- sparkling
- cubes
- that
- rotated
- around
- her.What
- she
- was
- wearing
- looked
- like
- a
- russet
- silk
- robe
- with
- long
- sashes,
- that
- was
- constantly
- in
- motion
- like
- some
- sort
- of
- magic
- carpet
- trying
- to
- escape
- somewhere
- and
- take
- her
- with
- it.
- Long,
- slender
- limbs
- that
- kept
- being
- exposed
- and
- covered
- with
- the
- waving
- cloth.At
- times,
- she
- seemed
- to
- almost
- float
- off
- that
- end
- of
- the
- couch.
- The
- reason
- she
- couldn't
- seemed
- because
- she
- had
- tied
- herself
- to
- that
- end
- of
- the
- couch
- -
- and
- my
- ankle.(Part
