tikka

I was playing soccer the other day [defense] and the other team was about to score a goal. I went up there, and just as the other girl was kicking the ball, i kicked it the other way, resulting in her kicking my toe VERY forcefully. After which my toe just completely failed me and I could not walk or run so I came out of the game. My toe is sort of bent at an angle, swollen a little [puffy], and red and it hurts if I try to move it or bend it, so I can't move it- therefore, I can't walk without limping like crazy. I'd like to know what kind of injury I actually have, so that I can treat it the right way. I'm trying to heal it at home. Tell me if I should go to the doctor...?

my rock is a little unusual. ive looked everywhere to find out... but i need help. sooo, it is cut into 3 parts. it is a little beak-shaped, and it has three colors. one of the parts is a quartz-type thing, which i am pretty sure it is, and it is white-ish. you can see a crystaline structure, so im pretty sure its a mineral. the next part is a type of brownish-red. it is sort of glittery and has a dullish luster. the third segment is black, but not like mica. it has a rough, grainy texture and it has little pieces of the white mineral in it, too. the rock is really rough. it is hard and is unusual because it is so perfectly split into those three parts. the "bottom" of the rock is a majority of the whiter part. even under the red-brown part, the "bottom" is white. only under the black, a little part of the "bottom" is black, but still not completely. this "bottom" is somewhat see-thru and glassy. it has a shinier luster. please help me find out what this rock is. it is really important.

thanks!

excerpt from Rekindled:

His grey eyes were like pools of grief. She sought after the beast in them, but could not find it.

She tried hard, very hard. But it was too late.

Now she was angry. "Do you know," She hissed, "How many years it has taken me to run away from the very thing I have fallen into?" He didn't speak, awed by the furiosity in her voice. He just stared into her cold green eyes, watching silently as she brushed away her fiery red hair. "I never wanted to say these words..." He whispered. "STOP IT!" She shrieked. But there was a softer side to her voice. She then knelt down and wept.

"I've ran all my life. I never wanted to say the words so many people chrish. Because for me, saying these words means becoming a slave..."

He touched her cheek. "Say them, Kindle. Free your soul"

"I love you."
