The Fairy Oak
At night in the woods, beware. If you go alone and find yourself at the Fairy Oak at midnight, the fairies come out and dance around their ancient tree.
The tree is their protector, and they protect the tree. It is tall and strong, and takes its nourishment from the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. But if the fairies see you as a threat, they will beguile you to come to the tree, and the Fairy Oak will take your blood, your flesh and your soul, for its nourishment.
If you visit during the day, you will see that much of the Fairy Oak's bark is tinged with a reddish brown, which is from the blood of those who did not heed the warnings.
So take care, and beware the Fairy Oak in the midnight hour.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
