The Fly, The Dragon And The Unstoppable Magic Of Love. Top Story - November 2022.
“What I’d give to be a fly on that wall, to be an unnoticed observer of a particular situation.” If I had a pile of dung for every time, I’ve heard that, I’d be a happy fly. Wanting to know the ins and outs of someone else’s private life, seems to be the wishes of many- but let me tell you- being an actual fly on some of these walls is not for the faint of heart.

A Pig A Dog and A Little Girl Named Kai
Kai hadn't seen or heard from her daddy since the last full moon of fall. The snowy season had come and gone, and as the trees began to shed their winter coats, she knew he should be arriving home soon. It was the longest he had ever left her alone, and the only time she ever felt afraid he wasn't returning. Work was hard to come by, and it took a hard man to do the work that was available. Her daddy had built their cottage to be camouflaged, nestled safely - under the tree canopies. The towns people referred to them as - marsh dwellers, living on the outskirts of Villefranche-du-Perigord - France. But, after the death of his wife, he only wanted to be left alone. Not far away were the bastides - where they sold their wares at the markets and fairs, and active trading places. Kai loved hiking with her daddy, the long distances - selling the truffles they had hunted and harvested together. When he sold locally, Kai went along, but when he needed to Trek into the neighboring towns, she was left behind. Never for long periods of time, even being so small, she had grown accustomed to taking care of herself. On the long journeys, he would jump rail cars, making quick connections to Périgueux and Agen, selling his goods to the highest bidder. As it turned out, truffles were a delicacy in high demand, worth more than imagined, and people would do just about anything to get their hands on them. Even if it wasn't exactly, legal.
