Atarah’s Crown
There I am. Motionless. I make a pretty corpse. There goes my agent standing over me crying. I wonder if they are crying because I’m dead or because I can’t make them anymore money. The sirens. They can’t save me. Was all of this worth selling my soul for? There are no concepts of temperature for where I stand but some how behind me I can feel a fire making my soul sweat; and the tapping on my shoulder in the form of a hoof. Do I pray for reincarnation or am I damned for all eternity; or am I even allowed to pray at all after all I have done.

Wyrd Sisters
I was nervous, so I perched myself on a stool towards the back of the clearing. The oldest invites the youngest, it it said. Old Mother Smythe invited me to come, and smiling, said, “Bring something you harvest along the way. Something meaningful, something interesting, something with purpose. Something that can contribute.”

The Case of the Missing Moon
It was raining magic the night the moon went missing. This wasn’t an exaggeration. Magic really filled the air. Blue sparks slid down the gutters, glowing until they turned to steam. The rain made your skin itch and left you uneasy.

The night we burned a million dollars in the backyard
I can remember the taste of the lighter fluid. Once, when you’d shut your eyes, you could feel it coated in the back of your throat. It still lives there. I still taste it on August 12th of that year (maybe 2004) when the cicadas were screaming so loud you had to shout to be heard.

Rain threatened as Elio climbed the rickety ladder to the treehouse of his childhood. Each step groaned under his weight, soaked from weeks of storms, and the wind tugged at the branches as if warning him to turn back.

Haymitch's tale
Chapter 1 I wake up to cold drops of water landing on the indent of my right eye. I squeeze my eyes tighter shut and wipe it off with the back of my hand, after I do that I open my eyes to see the grey ceiling leaking again, I move my head to the right side of my pillow and roll onto my side so the water won’t hit me anymore, I can feel my brother’s head down at my feet, with his keens pressed against my back and his feet kicking me every now and then in between my shoulder blades, he crawled into my bed last night from the thunderstorm we got around midnight, he had squirmed around and kicked me in the shoulder blades a couple times for about an hour before he fell back asleep with his arms hugged around himself and his legs wrapped up into like a pretzel.
