    Seven Lions, Facebook vignettes based on promotional story material

    Once a great repository of wisdom, now destroyed. Now empty corridors where no light can shine. Now lost forever. Once the dark coils of suspicion and ignorance gripped every man and woman. So strong was their fear that they burned every book, every scroll, smashed every shelf. So much research, so much knowledge was lost on that fateful day. It is whispered that one archivist is thought to have survived, exiled before that great cataclysm. It is said he went into hiding, his half-Adjoran blood granting him long life but no peace. Over the centuries in his repository he hoarded the bits and pieces of knowledge, the lost arcanum of The Watchers that were retrieved, rescued, or remembered, but he dares never return to the library, for only death awaits anyone who enters those dark spaces.

    Seattle travel writing

    When you visit Seattle, you’ll find a buffet of activities for all vacation styles from adventure hiking to spa lounging to ghost hunting. The Space Needle is the centerpiece of it all, offering fine dining and views of Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. If you’re looking for the city’s cultural bright spots, you can visit the Seattle Art Museum or see a concert at the Seattle Symphony. The Aquarium will take you into the underwater world of the Puget Sound and Pacific Ocean. History abounds in Seattle, and you can learn more about it when you step into the Museum of History and Industry, the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, and the Nordic Heritage Museum. The Underground Tour in Pike Place Market transports you to a different era hidden below the current city streets. For more modern fun, spend some time at the Experience Music Project or take in a game at Centurylink Stadium or Safeco Field. The sunset over the Puget Sound is a welcome sight after a day of shopping, sight-seeing, and eating in the Emerald City: Seattle.
