In a drawing room, sitting alone and rocking to hip hop. Just then the door flew open and standing in there was my old friend “Jareth '' owl was his name. Hooting to get my attention… Dropping from his mouth was a message and rewarding “Jareth” a mouse. Back to the message; {your attention is required to the Sorcery University, urgent stop} and went back to my drawing knowing that I had some time even though the message said urgent.

Submitted to Contest #128

Heading up to my little cabin. It is a long way, putting music in the car and trying to stay awake. “Rocking to the Oldies”. Bumps and turns along the way. It had to be about mid afternoon by now.

Hi neighbor. {Just saw you pill in} and wanted to let you know you have a light out. Thanks. Have a good evening. Lights were on and I went to put woo...

On this dark stormy evening, in my cabin, snuggled in for the night, thoughts of gumdrops dancing in our heads, little chuckle”, just remembering good old days when childhood was freedom, and beating of the drums, could be heard from miles around.Sparks from the fire lit up the room. This novel is getting really good now, at the part when the train stops to pick up passengers. This is not an ordinary train, this is a magical train, things that you see in the movies, and not the one that goes to the north pole. Okay; talking about ...

I always wanted to be a Writ...

Things happen in a house by the Sea...

Stories always start with {Once a Time}, well not this one, it's about a silent house by the sea...cozy fire, sitting snuggled up, and a very stormy night, clouds rolling in, thunder just right around the corner!On this stormy night; in the garden of a forbidden forest, the pathway goes for miles and miles. There is a story I should share, but before I get ahead of myself, where I was, I was in, warm, cozy little silent house by the sea. A warm fire, burning, lights were low, thunder roaring and by myself deep in thoughts... Out o...
