Kewarratiwa's Story

About this ebook
Prequel to A Drum Is Empty, this short story is narrated by one of the secondary characters. Kewarratiwa flees into the night while her family is slaughtered by the "tall folk." After days of wandering, with little food and water, fearful of encountering more of the hostile tribe, she is found by one of them, and discovers that they are not all the same.
Laura Haglund
Laura Haglund is a native of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Born on a rocky peninsula, she was always fascinated by...rocks. That, with a love of nature and a fondness for foraging, grew into a preoccupation with prehistoric life. An avid reader as long as she can remember, the author devoured mountains of science fiction and fantasy but found too little fiction that treated stone-age people in a satisfying way. Eventually, after a sudden spate of writing fan fiction parodies based on the characters of a well-known writer of prehistoric fiction, one of her original characters demanded to have his own story told properly. Ms. Haglund also works for NAMI of Door County, does free-lance web design and graphic art, and has a computer repair business on the side. She is better known on the Web as Matera the Mad.

Author's Note:
This is a prequel to my prehistoric fantasy A Drum Is Empty. For the sake of introducing a character who would inspire xenophobic ferment in the plot, I hypothesized a late migration from Africa that made no lasting impact on the genetic or cultural development of mankind in Europe. The Wa!ikerrima are kin to the Bushmen, small in stature but tough. They left their homeland in
