Like Winds [1/3]

This is the first part [1/3] of my first novel, “Like Winds on a Wilted Tree”. I don’t know how to add on-the-same-page footnotes in WordPress, and footnotes are a major part of this story, so I’ve added it as a PDF on this page.

The strands do indeed lead a boring
life . . . except the three parts that matter.

The three parts that fill their life with equal amounts of fear, despair, and hope.

The three parts that fall between the cracks on arid soil and stay there, overlooked.

The three parts that tell a story.

Feel free to read here, or download and/or print if that’s more comfortable. To share with others, please use this link instead of PDFs. Thanks!

PS: Part 2 is a work in progress; should be out in 2026 first half.

All life is bound together by mutual support and interdependence.
