Mummers Lost in Darkness
Midnight. The moonlight shone over the black waves, sprinkled with reflections from the stars above. In and out, in and out, in and out. The water tiptoed to the shore, onto the crumbling sand particles, then back out again. The large, thin palm trees blew in the cold breeze, their necks tall enough to be ladders.

Everything All At Once
Alice the fluffy animal kept herself to herself and that was the way it had always been. Her dwelling was small that was all she needed. She was alone, burying inside the mound. A mossy, green coated hill that sat just between two trees and a river that ran through the centre.

SOMETHING UNEXPLAINABLE IS HAPPENING…
Her head was pounding from the inside out. Drumming on her brain like a marching band. The more she began to wake from her slumber, it seemed her entire body was aching from head to toe. Muscles in her back felt like tiny razors digging and scraping through her skin. Her eyes felt as prickly as a cactus, burning around her eyelids. Her throat was a desert, scratching all the way down her windpipe. It eventually dawned on her; she was sat on a train.

The Cry
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It flickered and danced in the wind. It stood on top of the old window ledge all cracked and decaying. I tried to rationalise outcomes in my mind. That’s what my therapist told me to do in times like this. My inner voice told me, that it was the new recruits joining the summer camp this year, playing practical jokes on each other. I was hesitant, but they needed to be reminded of the rules, even if I really didn’t want to.

The Cries Of Their Souls
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. Not real ones anyway and certainly not above ground. Their granny seemed to know everything and she knew that her husband hadn’t been slain in the usual way. She was the only one still alive that remembered their life before.

The Town That Time Forgot
I was in my late twenties and had been living in my own apartment for about a year. For our generation, it is difficult to find decent, affordable accommodation, with the increase in house prices, so naturally I was thrilled when I moved into my own place, searching for months to find the right house. I’d been sharing an apartment with a couple of friends for a few years but nothing beat having my own home.

How are Harry Potter and Bruce Wayne connected?
What is the connection between Harry Potter and Bruce Wayne? Although at first glance they are from completely different genres, one fantasy, the other superhero, without any magical ability. Potter being quintessentially British, while Gotham is set in America. There are more similarities to these two characters than there are differences.
