In A Fantasy Word, Everything Is Trying to Eat You
We open on a dark, empty cavern, illuminated by a bright, white-sih blue eternal-looking light. We can see a young woman creeping down the tunnel. We can see the young woman looks like, for lack of a better word, that she had gone through the ringer. She is barefoot, in a tattered powder-blue robe smeared…… Continue reading In A Fantasy Word, Everything Is Trying to Eat You
She’s A Beauty
The lights and sounds of the midway were almost overwhelming as Body was drug by a very enthusiastic auburn-haired seven-year-old chanting, “Come on, come Brody!” “Okay, okay,” Brody couldn’t help but laugh, “Can I stop to take a few pictures, at least? One of us has a job to do here.” He had known that…… Continue reading She’s A Beauty
The Stowaway
It was the farthest north they had even been. Past England, past the highlands, into the thick of Irish territory. As Captain Palmer walked across the sturdy wood, the cold air ran through her, sending short strands of short dark blonde hair and causing her to pull the dark blue jacket of her uniform tighter…… Continue reading The Stowaway

He looked like something out of a cheesy romance cover with his thick coffee-colored hair and red…… Continue reading The Changeling

The minute Scarlet saw the boy on the ground and the man standing over him with a whip, she knew her trading trip wasn’t going to go as planned. He wasn’t a small man either; he was tall and thick and broad shouldered, with a black wide-brimmed hat and a neat stone-colored beard on his…… Continue reading Collared
Consider the Lobster Man
It had been another long day for Dave Talbot, better known to the patrons of Lady Arminta‘s House Of Oddities And Wonders, as the Lobster Man. He had spent the whole day showing off his claw-like hands, letting people test his strength. Being around a thousand people, but never really being part of their lives. It…… Continue reading Consider the Lobster Man
The Little Matchstick Girl And The Angry Mob
The story starts off very much like it’s been told. With a little girl, barefooted with tangled yellow- blonde hair, using the ratty apron to carry homemade matches, more matches in her hand, desperately trying to sell them in the fading light of the day, trudging through the cold as snow fell into her tangled…… Continue reading The Little Matchstick Girl And The Angry Mob
