Stumbler Upon Us

By Rei Rosenquist

The day has come for the children of the Seventh Circle to become adults. Only, Mandala doesn't feel ready. Mentor, the strange voice in Manadala's head, gives comfort and advice.

 

The wind does not take those who are not ready.

 

So, Mandala sits in the Seventh Circle, awaiting the ceremony of transition to begin.

 

Takai, the ceremonial leader, takes the stage. The ceremony begins. And then...

 

A shift, a slip, a stumble. And it all goes wrong.

 

Can Mandala recover before it's too late, or is adulthood lost?

Rei Rosenquist

Rei Rosenquist first remembers life as seen out the high window of a hotel balcony. Down below is a courtyard, swarms of brightly dressed tourists, the beach. The memory is nothing but a blue-green washed image. Warmth and sunlight. Here, they are three years old, and this is the beginning of a nomadic story-teller’s life. Over the years, they have traveled to many countries, engaged many peoples, picked up new habits, and learned new languages. But, some things never change. For them, these are stories, food service, and traveling. These three passions have bloomed from hobbies, studies, and jobs into a way of life. These days, Rei can be found in between Tokyo, Kailua, and Bellingham, Washington pouring beautiful latte art, baking off a batch of famous savory scones, and cozying up with a laptop to obsessively write mountains of dark speculative fiction. You can find Rei’s stories and blog at reirosenquist.com.
