Free Short Story

When Memories End is told through the eyes of a memoria who has spent all her life in Cereba - her peoples' underground home. Or at least, what was their home before they were so cruelly driven from it and had to rebuild what they lost in Oresa.

When Memories End (Cereban Tales, #1) by Rachel Emma ShawThis memory will be my last. Already, I can feel it slipping unfinished from me, burning as the light grows hot on my skin. The sun takes no pity on the pale creature chased into its grasp, but I’m so desperate to escape that I will bear its scolding.
Nothing is as I imagined it would be up here. Used to the dark as I am, I have never known the taste of day, nor the yellow sheen of sunlight covering everything it touches. The familiar chatter of birds fills my ears, but it’s too loud. Their cries are piercing and not like the muffled chirps I knew in the tunnels below.
Light ebbs through the leafy canopy above, streaming between leaves so fine that I can see every vein. Green blades stab my feet as I crush them underfoot, releasing a fresh scent that assaults my nose, mingling with the foreign fragrances of the forest about me. It all combines together overwhelmingly, reminding me that I’m not in Cereba anymore.
