Crazy Cat's Christmas Surprise
Crazy Cat loved Christmas! He loved helping Mr. Humann decorate the Christmas tree by playing with all the lights and ornaments. He loved helping Mrs. Humann bake cookies by walking all over the kitchen counter. He loved helping Harry write his letter to Santa Claus by swatting the pen out of his hand. Most of all, he loved Christmas presents!

Sappy Movies and Sad Memories
When I hear the phrase “holiday hijinks”, I think of classic Christmas movies in which the holiday turns out alright despite whatever setbacks may happen. The Grinch steals all the Whos’ stuff but ultimately learns the true meaning of Christmas. Rudolph finally earns the approval of the society that shunned him when he helps Santa Claus deliver the presents on Christmas Eve. Ralphie Parker is rewarded for the various shenanigans he endured throughout the holiday season with the BB gun he wanted. Even in my all-time least favorite holiday movie The Christmas Shoes, two of the main characters lose a mother during the Christmas season, but one is able to help the other.

Crazy Cat sat in his favorite spot on the windowsill, watching the world outside. He saw birds, bugs, cars, and people pass by, but there was no sign of his family. Where were they? Mr. and Mrs. Humann should be coming home from work, and their son, Harry, should be coming home from school soon! Finally, Crazy Cat saw the family’s yellow car pull into the driveway. Put-put-put!

The Good Dragon
The ruins of the burning village below glowed brilliant orange, lighting up the night sky. The blinding flames and acrid smoke had no effect on me. Like all dragons, I had been around fire since I could remember, and dragon or not, fire was nothing new in these parts. As long as the Dragon Wars waged, something was always burning, though no one knew if the fire was caused by humans or dragons. Neither side even knew what they were fighting for anymore; all they knew was that humans and dragons were mortal enemies.

Narcissa Finds Her Voice
People are full of surprises. Just when you think you know everything about someone, you learn something new. The same applies to animals, too. At least it does to my cat, for she has a unique quirk, one that took me years to discover.

The Condemned: Prologue
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I wouldn't know. I've never been into space, but I've heard the horror stories. People launched into the void of space, left to drift all alone until they eventually die as punishment for their crimes. I'm not talking the truly evil ones like kidnapping, murder, or torture. More often than not, those crimes get a free pass. The crimes that get you flung into space are what they call "crimes against decency", or in other words, nonconformity.

Sins of the Father: part 1
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The cabin had been in the family for generations, tucked deep within the woods behind our house like a dirty little secret. It came with the property when my great-great grandfather bought it over 125 years ago. All my life, the cabin had been off-limits. My parents wouldn’t tell me why. Whenever I asked, all they would say was that it was too dangerous. I never understood until the one time I decided to break that rule.

A Tale of Two Father FIgures
“All I wanted was to be loved for myself.” That is a quote from The Phantom of the Opera, and it’s something that every human being wants. We want to believe that our society is a caring, accepting place, and it is for some of us, namely those whose true self aligns with social norms. But what about the rest of us, the Phantoms of this world who look, think, or act in a way that defies convention?
