Date: Mon, 4 Sep 1995 18:57:26 -0400 Reply-To: GrinnyP@AOL.COM Sender: Highlander TV show stories From: Carol Ann Liddiard Subject: New story, "Origins" "Origins" is my first attempt at fanfic. The core of the story came to me a few years ago, when I began to idly wonder, "where do the immortals come from, anyway?" The result is this story. Please remember that I am a beginner, and the possessor of an extremely fragile ego so please be gentle (Danny, this means you ;->). This is my disclaimer, and over the next 14 days or so I will be posting the rest of the story. I hope you all enjoy it. -------------------- *WARNING* "Origins" is rated PG-13. There are a few sexual references (more implied than seen) and lots of violence. If these things offend you, be warned. The show Highlander and the characters used in this story are copyright Rysher Entertainment and are used without their permission. Please do not repost this story without my permission. All comments/criticisms/flames to me at liddiard@bs1.prc.com or GrinnyP@aol.com. Special thanks to Laura Michaels, Tricia Hankinson, Sheila Marie Lane (Celli), Kellie Matthews-Simmons, and Julie Wiese (LdyImmrtl) for their feedback and handholding during the writing process. Couldn't have done it without you guys. And now, without further ado, I give you "Origins". Helpless halts my tongue; a devouring fever Runs in flame through every vein within me; Darkness veils my vision; my ears are deafened, Beating like hammers; Cold the sweat runs down me; a sudden trembling Sets my limbs a-quiver; my face grows paler Than the grass in summer; I see before me Death stand, and madness. _Sappho_ =========================================================================
