Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - She was trapped! Her sister Kara was screaming uncontrollably through her bloody toothless mouth. Both her legs were twisted, outward the wrong way, straddling the hump on the floorboard. Her brother, Tommie, had no face only a sheet of thick, red, blood where his face should have been. Mother's eyes were closed with her body slouched down, the steering wheel, embedded in her stomach. Jade suddenly heard a gurgling sound coming from the seat in front of her. She turned her attention to the seat in front of her, where the gurgling sound was coming from. It was Lyla, her grandmother. She was crumpled downward in the floorboard in the passenger side of the front seat. Thank God! She was faced downward! The passenger window in front of her was shattered. There were trances of blood on the outer edges of the hole in the windshield. Jade's mind was spinning out of control with one single thought. 'She is dead! She is dead!' She cringed and closed her eyes. She turned toward the car window not wanting to see anymore. 'Please, please, I don't want to be here anymore!' She thought in desperation. As she shut her eyes, the nightmare that seemed real began to slip away. It was just another flashback nightmare. This one was more terrifying than the reoccurring nightmare she had experienced when she was six. The one where she would wake only to be blinded by the gyrating, white, circles of light she couldn't escape. couldn't see past. Would her nightmares ever end.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Epistola II begins with a continuation of romantic verses regarding the art and struggles of love while probing into the darker side of unfulfilled passion. Quillan's longtime interest in Native American culture is reflected within the Epistola series by the experimental use of Tsalagi (Cherokee), beautifully employing the language to accent thoughts and emotions. A love affair with a city, poetry of the 1950s/1960s, and his Protestant background also inspired portions of Epistola II. Quillan does not claim to be a theologian, but merely a spiritual wanderer seeking his genesis while airing his religious laundry along the way. The poet continues to divagate on various tangents of concerns and contemplations, and eventually concludes with a 13-piece collection regarding libertine issues according to his interpretation of early American documents, essays, and orations. Quillan's command of the English language enables him to create with ink and paper vivid emotions and colorful passion. Epistola II is not fast food; this is epicurean cuisine for the mind and soul.…
