He sees people and events, comparing them to Nature in all her aspects. His is the voice of my own teachings from my half-Lakota mother. Glad you picked up on the difference.<br /><br />Michael :<br />Luke's perspective is that of an educated Native American, looking at white culture from the outside. Sadly, it is the magic of a culture all but gone from our country. It means a lot to me that you enjoyed this snippet.<br /><br />Jo :<br /> Mysterious ... and deadly -- as Luke finds out at the end of the party!<br /><br />Laura :<br />I really am happy you liked the Native American Noir atmosphere to this excerpt.<br /><br />Denise :<br />I'm glad I was able to bring you to stand by Luke's side at that party. You wrote of a country song in your entry. One of Mother's favorite albums was Hank Williams' LUKE THE DRIFTER. A major reason I picked Luke for my MC's name. I'm truly happy to see you were able to leave me a comment. Yay!! RolandRoland D.
