This Side of Time
Samantha’s diminutive young fingers sunk into the dark soil, plowing through the old oak leaves married with the dirt through time. Stopping she felt the burden of no memory of how she got here and most of all why she was digging in the ground for what seemed to a forest floor. The surround trees, told her that much. The moon, full tonight, gave all its light to tell her it was at least late autumn if not early winter, for the leaves were few on the slender oaks, but many on the ground. Though, the moon was ominous and the the trees talkative with their creaking sways to the night’s breeze, none of this felt threatening to Samantha. In fact, all of this sewn together felt more like — home. Oddly, even the winter air did not feel cold, if anything, she felt a sudden swell of warmth. Possibly from inside, she was unsure, she just knew felt a sense of comfort that, despite her lack of memory, seemed foreign to her recent past.

There is nothing louder than silence, Quiet.
After being locked down in one of the most restrictive cities in the United States for most of the year and several tried but failed travel attempts, I finally arrived in Istanbul, Turkey. This city has become my refuge more than once the past 8 years. I still remember the first time I arrived to the great Constantinople, it felt like coming home from a century’s long journey. This city has a soul, if it had a spirit animal it would be a barn owl, old and wise, its vibrant colors are electrifying, mysterious and full of life, always moving, always going, most active at night. This pandemic was starting to take a toll on me, I need now more than ever for the city to calm the storm inside of me. I need my internal battery to be recharged, I need to feel the mundane of normal life again.

The Great Tree's Game
Remi felt the tree watching him, but he did not know where to look. Staring down at its roots could imply he was afraid. He shouldn’t look into its web of branches for fear it would be offended at his boldness. Perhaps its trunk? Surely, there was no way the tree would feel offense if Remi looked at its trunk.

The Owl of Alabaster Lake
The argent light of the moon's reflection glistened softly in the still waters of Lake Alabaster. Vincent navigated labyrinthine corridors of thought, lost, the walls of his own mind closing in on him. Suffocating him as surely as drowning in the serene waters before him. He had escaped to the great outdoors to distance himself from the dullness and doldrums of what had gradually become a dismal existence. He took a deep breath of crisp winter air, enjoying the idyllic beauty surrounding him. Wondrous as it was, it did little to ease the existential dread that so haunted him. The light dimmed and winked out as clouds enshrouded the moonlit bitter cold winter night in darkness. He struck flint to steel. The spark ignited kindling and the campfire he'd prepared came to life. Losing himself in the dancing flames his consciousness unexpectedly gave way to restless sleep.

Pitter's Yellow Grass
Pitter pattered from one bent, yellow long-grass to the next, his hands and feet feeling every little bump and dip in the dirt on his way. His tail left a near imperceptible trail; likely only his own kind could see it. But it wasn’t the trail he was worried about.
