“Bittersweet” by Grace Gerrish

Submitted to Contest #129

A white sea with ever-falling pearls from a darkening sky. A sun setting over the peaks, casting a painting like fire that even the greats could not hope to replicate.

“The War Table ” by Grace Gerrish

Submitted to Contest #125

Reuel rubbed his temples at the arrogance. All six Western kings and queens gathered at once, yet only bickering and arguing was heard.
