The Pearl Giver Ch1

I am in the midst of my first bout of writer's block. It's not fun. The words still clamour to be let out, but it's as if the conduit from my brain to my fingers is broken. So I've decided to start posting a short noella I've been tying very hard to finish. The Pearl Giver is about Amy. She's an amazing, bright, vibrant young woman with a gift. She 'knows' stuff about people that she has no right knowing. She's also dying of a brain tumour. Enter her world and fall in love with the light that is Amy.
