I have been reliably told, at least. Sleep deprivation is fun. Wouldn't give up the reason for it for the world, though. He's eight months old and doing great :)
Anyhow. A quick thing I wrote that I just want to record, in the event I don't rewrite it from scratch.
Everyone has the spark, right? As far back as humans go, before we were even sitting in caves, we had that spark. We could touch the very fabric of the world. Fire, heat, the spark of life. Ice, cold, fire's polar opposite. Excuse the pun. Water doesn't put out fire, does it? Cold, that stilling of the very molecules themselves - that's what does it. Metal, buried in the earth. You can move the earth, but really you're moving the minerals within it. And finally wind. The air itself, the very firmament which we all stare at and through every single day. It's all around us. These are the building blocks, the very basics of our existence. You can build everything with these things, if you only tried.
