Lament of the Soul
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” Oh, but please, I need to see beyond! I am trapped in a timeless expanse, where days and nights blur into a soul sucking void of nothingness. Why am I not radiant and unburdened by the weight of the physical. Why doesn't my soul float serenely in the vastness of space and time, singing its song of harmony with the universe.

The Thief of magical stories. Top Story - October 2024.
'The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished.' Queen Justia of the very successful "Ye Olde Quaint Story Emporium", a city of magical story writers, was nowhere to be found. Someone must have snatched her sometime between "Storytide and Midnighthush", when the authors finally relinquished their pens, closed their eyes and slumbered, while dreaming of sugar plum stories and storks bearing babies made entirely of thousand dollar bills.

Theatre of Dreams
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” Yet, somehow we always do, our curiosity forever killing the infernal cat! They promised us riches, fame and glory...they said that our ghosts would be put to rest, no more would we be haunted by our sense of failure, lack of self-worth, underachievement and self-loathing.

The Disappointment Room
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” I always wondered why Papa kept the little door locked. Mama would never look me in the eye whenever I asked her why. She sure cried a lot. I kind of remember back when she used to laugh when I was much younger. I think they were happy then, back when I was young and I was happy too. Then she let me touch her tummy, it tickled my hand and I laughed. It took a long time, but one day they went to the hospital and brought home a little pink wiggly thing, pretty as a picture it was. After that, they forgot to make me happy, I watched them giggle and coo as everybody admired the pink pretty thing. One day it stopped moving. It was all bloody and broken, as if someone had pulled the strings of a marionette and the pieces had fallen...one...by...one. Arms, legs, head...unrecognizable......................They hid me away, I guess they didn't want me to see the pink thing. But...why? It was such pretty shade of crimson red.

The Porcelain Doll
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” It was just a doll. Yet he had never seen anything more beautiful. She sat in a special glass enclosure, her eyes, speckled in shades of blue and gold, held his as if in a trance. Jewels of distant shores adorned her and sparkled with iridescence, adding intrigue to the mix. He had to own her.
