No Mercy and Michael: Part 3 of the River Runs Through

By Kat Jaske

Written in a poetry style. Kip is now a professor at his former school, and Rea is a world-renowned music star, and they have lost touch with each other. Kid's younger brother, Greg is now a basketball star who brings great fame to his former school. Greg and his wife Arial have a young son Michael. In the face of great tragedy Kip and Rea re-connect and still find it hard to know and seize the moment when a friend is more than a friend. Feel the emotions of sorrow and great joy as Mia Mercer, the younger sister of Greg, concludes her story with "and at last Kip and Rea remembered
love
– forgives, love
– mends"

The story is told as one might hear it, in all its musical quality, while sitting at Grandfather's knee. If you listen quietly while reading, see if you "hear" his voice in that deep, "sing-song" style of old: "There was a city, not far removed from a small village, not far, that is, by car . . ."

Bonjour. I’m Kat Jaske.Las Vegas resident––wellmore precisely Henderson,Nevada, which is right nextdoor•Married to Bryant Jaske-Moser and mother of Daniel Jaske-Moser*Runner – Helped my crosscountryteam win state championshipOhio state championship (5-K race). I’meven more proud of the next year whenour team placed fourth, but I ran apersonal best State Course time of a littleover 19 and a half minutes.• Fencer – Yes, with swords, especiallysabers. You know, the musketeer thing.Or Zorro.• Singer• Active in church• Love my black cat, Minnesota and her younger sister Abigail• Writer – Historical fiction, science fiction,fantasy, poems, articles, all sorts of itemsfor students and parentsMany of my ideas for writing or teaching come to me when I am running. Unfortunately, I can’t carry a journal with me, so I have to wait until I finish, walk in the door, and then grab a pencil and paper, or a computer, and put them down. I have always loved reading and writing, voraciously. Mom’s favorite story is about the time she had to punish me for something (which I am probably innocent of doing) by saying, “No reading. Do not go to your room. Sit here and watch TV.” I hated TV.Writing takes passion (a love of words in my opinion) and when you have that passion, it permeates everything. Word scrambles and other word games and puzzles and other thinking games are “cool”.I graduated from Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, N.C. in three and a half years with a double major in English and Psychology. After working two years and saving every penny I could, I headed to France and spent two years studying there. Then returned to the U.S. to work a couple years before attending UNLV where I finished my Masters of Education and teaching certificate.Now I spend time teaching my students the finer points of the French language and culture, and encouraging them to read and write.

There was a city not far

removed

from a small village, not far, that is, by car

not far from the village with three

small claims to memory’s fame:

– one was a small university

of rather significant academic renown nestled between

two soaring summits, guarded by other
