Unbound Boxes Limping Gods: Disconnected Stories. Issue # 76: Baio-Yujia’s Ghost

March 13, 2013 by cherylmoore

Baio-Yujia Sun had been accidentally killed in a crash. (See issue 25: Baio-Yujia Sun) Her three surviving friends Alexand, Heyem and Jarad were found responsible for her death and sentenced to military correction. (See issue 26: There’s No Place Like Home) Three years have passed, and Alexand Merek still has vivid nightmares about Baio-Yujia’s death. Things have escalated and Alexand now sees her dead friend’s shadow at night, when she’s alone in her room. Next chronological story here.

Set in Saskatoon Military Base, India, (3985)

Really great – another dimension to Alex’s character (love the use of more direct language – very of the night)! She is such a cool haunted presence in the series.

  Hi Richard, I admit if Alexand were real I’d probably end up stalking her I’m glad you like her too. (She’s one of my most precious imaginary friends)

A most believable ghost – frightening

  Thanks, Lee, I’m glad this has the impact I hoped for. This ghost is a persistent presence, although she’s mostly understated.

Very effective close-up. The glint off the dilated pupil in particular draws the eye (so to speak).

One day, I really do need to sit and just start paging through. But I might have to hide the drawings or I will stop too much to enjoy them.

What is this?

Unbound Boxes Limping Gods is the first in a series of speculative fiction manuscripts, for which I'm seeking publication. These short stories feature some of the characters in a time set before the novels.
So many stories! Where do I begin?

Go to the Story timelines tab at the top, and you can read all the stories in order of time. You'll find them gradually connecting together.

The blurb for Unbound Boxes Limping Gods

(Set in 4041, the first book begins on Christmas Island, Japan.) Alexand Merek is a woman who treasures "Bad Things," and delights in music. She has done something stupid, placing those she loves in danger. Women like her are not welcome in the ordinary world, where women who play piano and dance with wives are placed into, "The Bad Thing Box." Alexand must fight to bring her lost family back together to save them from an unimaginable fate. (If you would like to see this book published, please press the follow button. The writer gives life to a story, but the reader keeps it alive.)
This is for you Dad.

My stories and my world are dedicated to you, Dad. You died before I was old enough to know who you were. I will try to find you in my stories, to go to places far away from this world, to search for you. Maybe one day I'll know you again. Until then I'll keep writing. I'll never forget you. Cheryl
