“Misty's Mirror” by Hollie T

Submitted to Contest #225

Misty was feeling just a smidge guilty. She had just purchased the most beautiful antique mirror she had ever seen. Even to her untrained eye, she knew it must be worth far more than what she had paid, likely at least two or three times the amount. But she also knew she definitely couldn’t afford more. That was why, when she had asked the pleasant elderly gentleman running the obscure shop about the mirror’s value, and in response he had shrugged and said, “I don’t know, what is it worth to you?”, she couldn’t help but name exactly what she...

“Dear Orlando” by Hollie T

Submitted to Contest #212

Dear Orlando,I was so happy to see you again on the street today - I wish we’d had time to pause for a visit, even a short conversation of meaningless small-talk and a quick peck on the cheek or touch on the hand, but I could tell right away how busy you were.

“Jane's Escape” by Hollie T

Submitted to Contest #197

“Well, fuck you in the eye with a skewer then,” Jane quietly muttered. Whether her comment was heard or not wasn’t totally apparent, but the conversation continued. “I’m just reminding you that it’s always been this way. Every being has a purpose and this is yours. We all have to come to terms with our lot in life, although you do seem to have more trouble than most accepting this.” The priestess looked at Jane for what seemed like a long time, and then when there was no response, she went on. “You can call it Fate, or Destiny, or whatever y...

Author bio

Hello all! What to say on a self-written bio? How would I describe myself? Let's start with this: I own and operate an orchard in Alberta, Canada with my husband and best friend (same person). I am a wife, mother, nature lover, tea-addict, pet rescuer (1 dog and 4 cats at the moment), tarot reader, motorcycle rider, MotoGP enthusiast, reader, writer, painter, jewelry maker, fantasy TV binger and video game player. I've been reading and writing for as long as I can remember, but just for myself really so I am looking forward to putting some ideas out there for feedback. Thank you for having me here!
