The Last
The air was warm as it weaved through her red hair. Too bad. Fall was her favorite. She wouldn’t feel that cool air ever again. At least she’d get one last sunset. Swirls of purples, pinks, and oranges expanded out in front of her. A front row seat to the end of the day. Her end.

His Name Was Biscuit
The rescue group named him Biscuit – a skinny, mostly white, one-eyed miniature poodle mix who had had a rough start to life. While a cute name, he didn’t quite look like a Biscuit. He was a bit unsure of himself at first, but it didn’t take long for his spunk to shine through. Biscuits, generally, are not spunky. My husband thought Rugby was a much better name for this new addition to our family. I completely agreed. This little guy brought a new level of chaos and fun into our lives. There was no turning back.

The Language of the Dragons
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. That’s the story my Grandmother always tells me anyway. Once upon a time they lived far away until humankind came along. Humans kept pushing further out, grabbing up territory. They used up this land and moved on until they reached the Dragon’s homeland. There was peace for a time, but humankind’s desire to conquer and build pushed the dragons out. Seeing no other way, the Dragons sought revenge and to reclaim what was once theirs. Fire rained from the sky until an agreement was decided upon. We call it, “The Burnt Ashes Pact.” At least, that’s my Grandmother’s version of our history. That’s not exactly what they teach us in school.
