Moulting
(Map. Call. Sob.) "There weren't always dragons in the valley." It was a bizarre omen, almost an urban legend heard around the office. Lindsey worked for United Parts Company, a company that made generic replacement parts for major appliances, she was in product engineering. Why she had heard such a weird phrase used was something she could never figure out. Lindsey had one other woman close by in her department on the sixth floor: Anne-Marie. They spent their work days scanning name brand parts, reverse-engineering them, and copying them for United Parts for discount mass production. It wasn't the kind of work Lindsey imagined doing when she got her degree in engineering, but it paid the bills and the pressure of the job was never too much.

So Close, And So They Begin...
There weren't always dragons in the valley. When they were were there, they were territorial in the space. It wasn't so much that they didn't like Tinka being there, she wasn't their kind, lowly, not part of the pride. Tinka bowed before the pride leader, only a bit taller than herself and excused herself from the two dozen dragons resting in the valley. Some elder dragons giving her sneers and the young whelps played - pounce on each other, not noticing the lone deer walk back into the forest.

Renaissance Festival War Stories. Lost Tales 2016-May 2019
I used to say, "I would never work at the Renaissance Festival, that's my play time." Somehow after performing burlesque the first two times, I got a bug to perform again, but it was on a stage I was a little more familiar and comfortable with.

I Am So Lucky
178. In the year 2021, I found 178 four-to-seven leafed clovers. My individual records are 56 in one day found and eight days in a row found. This is not the first time I have found four-leafed clovers, but this is the first year I have ever found them in such abundance. This is the first stretch of time I ever took time to actively seek them out. I think after the last two years the world had given all of us, it was nice to have a bit of good luck.

My Top 5 Articles: Tinka on Tinka
1/7/2022 This might be a little self indulgent, sure. I've been on Vocal since May 2021. I've written more in these last several months than I have in years. I've been writing consistently and for myself. I have had a few people reach out to me and talk to me about my writing. Emphasis on few. Seriously, less than six by my count.

So Close, And Yet, So Far Off
A Continuation Of... It had been a few weeks since Tinka and Nestor had met Noah and Marie, respectively. The days were growing shorter and colder, but their nights were warm. Whether Tinka was with Noah at his cottage on the Count's estate or Nestor was dancing with Marie at The Hollow Hill Tavern, autumn evenings were hot more often than not.
