Dear Scammers

Life Is Not A Checklist
Dear Life Expectations. I Quit. Everyone will remember a time when they thought they could do it all. As though life was a giant checklist, goals to be ticked off one by one, rather than an experience to be savoured for as long as we have it. As if, for life to be worth living, you had to meet a series of pre-determined goals before you die. As if Life had no more variety than a single fabricated fantasy, forever just out of reach.

WARNING: This Is Not A Drill

War Bride. Top Story - April 2025.
Princess Kathryn hadn't expected to actually marry her kidnapper. Kathryn would have done her duty as it was laid before her - she'd fantasized only briefly about shipwrecks and daring rescues, or the carriage breaking a wheel and necessitating that they turn back - on her way to her wedding. The price of a princess's privilege was that her life was not hers to command, but at the service of her people. That didn't mean that she couldn't have quiet complaints about marrying someone nearly her father's age, as Duke James of Slesian was.

Self-Defeating Victory
Once upon a time, a benevolent king ruled over a peaceful kingdom. In the way of many kings, he had an uncle who had out-lived his brother, the previous king, and after his first wife had died of a mysterious illness, he had married again, to a very beautiful woman who was kind to his children and as beautiful as a sunrise.
