The Messenger
Bashir laid in bed, book in his lap, lamplight buzzing and flickering ever so slightly in the distance beyond his window. It was just like any other night, home, alone, waiting for something and waiting for the world to shift and for him to no longer be afraid. Then maybe Bashir could leave, go outside the walls of his tiny apartment. But until that day, here he sat under the covers, a spot worn into his mattress from his stagnant movement.

Fork in the Snow
Every night since she had left my life, I found myself on the coldest of night’s wandering to the first place we met. Feeling the snow beneath my feet melt and crunch with each step. I’d all but forgotten how long it had been since I last saw her face. Finding myself here was the closest I could come to reaching her again. As if there was a part of her imprinted in the snow, that would fade with the coming of spring. Our memories wrapped around my mind, like a snowstorm, it was winter that made my heart ache even more. Breathing in I sighed, taking in the silence that surrounded me, if you listened you could faintly hear the jingle of the bells on her dress dance in the wind.

and then came the wolves...
The cell was dark and damp, the air stale and the night cold. A small girl, thin and pale, lay against the hard stone wall. The only sound that could be heard was the petite women's ragged breathing. Even in her sleep each gasp for air made her appear as though she was at death's door.

The Trials Of The King
The king awoke, standing on a large battlefield. Dead soldiers by the thousands were scattered for miles. Their blood stained uniforms concealed them. Affording no way to discern which flag they once stood for as they were all brothers in death.

Martyn and the Pifronna Flower
In a world far more fantastical than our own, there was a series of kingdoms that all together was known as the Faye Expanse. Though due to the land's harsh environment and bloodthirsty creatures, many people dubbed their world the Cruel Continent instead. Right in the center of the continent, there was the Vatus Kingdom, one of the more prosperous and safer kingdoms, though not by much. But if one was to ask a young boy named Martyn, he would say his life was great.

Chapter 12: The Council.
Marcus and Lyra met Jamison and Jacob in the hallway of the council chamber. They arrived early so they settled down in the hallway to discuss the night’s events. Their story must be shared accurately so there would be possible assistance with the care of the kids. However, they did not call the council, the agency did so they all sat there with concern.

If I Had A Dragon. Top Story - December 2021.
When I was little I would look at the world differently then most. It was as if my eyes were playing tricks on me throughout my childhood. Growing up I lived in the city: tall buildings that put my house to shame, and the smog that filled up thousands of peoples burning lungs. Oh the people, the streets were overrun by people, getting from here to there, shoving others out of the way for whatever nonsense they were late too. That is why my brain seemed to resort to the imagination, to the thoughts and ideas that were pulled from me. Things that even I could not even fathom.
