The Octopus

Hazel Lancaster was unsure what she would find when she walked into her father’s office. The past few days had been a blur. Looking around his office she almost forgot why she’d come. She went back into her memory thinking about the image she always had of him. Her father was a well respected, kind man. Business owner and provider of jobs in the community for more than fifteen years. Despite that, he never let work get in the way of family. She remembered every trip to the park, dinners all the time, every dance recital, and softball...

But Where Did Raven Go?

Submitted to Contest #87

Raven was just like her name, mysterious, dark, and evil. She didn’t do normal fairy things like talking to animals and magic spells to help people. She does her same routine every night, she waits carefully every night in front of the magic factory (where they produce all the magic dust for the fairies in her forest) until it has closed and all the worker fairies have left. Raven flies in front of the doors where the guards are, making sure to make a fuss for all the guards inside to come out. “Ms. Silverbell you can’t trick us again...
