Cairo

No more than five minutes later a yellow, 1980's model Honda screeched to a stop at his door. After Moustafa instructed the driver, we rumbled down the dirt road. I opened the paper Moustafa had given me. He was right, there was no reason to it:

All built in one straight line.

Cubic by cubic, time by time.

At the vanishing point you'll find a shelter built from stolen stone.

Ask the ancient dweller there.

He knows of many things, of God's whispered breath and angel's wings.

(Christian suspense novel, currently seeking publisher)
