A Little Bird Told Me

By Sam Knight

Andare’s tribe has been forced to move for months now, fleeing the murderous raiders who stole food and killed wantonly.

Sam Knight

A Colorado native, Sam Knight spent ten years in California’s wine country before returning to the Rockies. When asked if he misses California, he gets a wistful look in his eyes and replies he misses the green mountains in the winter, but he is glad to be back home. As well as having being Distribution Manager for WordFire Press and Senior Editor for Villainous Press, he is author of six children’s books, four short story collections, three novels, and nearly three dozen short stories, including two media tie-ins co-authored with Kevin J. Anderson. A stay-at-home father, Sam attempts to be a full-time writer, but there are only so many hours left in a day after kids. Once upon a time, he was known to quote books the way some people quote movies, but now he claims having a family has made him forgetful, as a survival adaptation.  He can be found at SamKnight.com and contacted at [e-mail].

A Little Bird Told Me

Andare looked up to the two moons in the night sky and tried to find the strength to resist the compulsion pulling at her soul. Behind her, the tribe’s campfire burned brightly, holding back the fears of the night, keeping her people feeling safe in their tents. Alone, she walked into the night. There was little out in the darkness to frighten her, even here at a new campsite. She knew all true terrors come from other people.

Concern about one of those terrors, being judged, nagged at her now. She glanced over her shoulder to see if anyone was watching her. In the moonlight, she could see well enough to reassure herself she had not been followed.
