Little Tyrant
The cat, Stormcloud, was only called Stormcloud at 1109 Water Street. Four houses down at 1101, she was Tabitha, or Tabs, for short. At the west end of Water Street at 1032, the resident children called her Smoky, and on her evening jaunts across Beach Drive, she was The Marina Cat to every restaurant-goer and sunset-admirer who passed her on her way to the marina kitchens, where the busser Chae-Won had a dish of dinner scraps waiting for her.

The Mountain and the ValleyTop Story - March 2023
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. It was the Mountain Spirit, Akwuk, expelled to her foothills, who sent up the cumuli to the rosy ceiling suspended between Kmarkn’s western and eastern peaks. A month past, Akwuk had come down from the mountain and entered the valley of Kmarkn at evening. She had passed through the line of cedars that divided her realm from Axwiy’s. Perhaps at this point, the Valley had sensed the Mountain’s unhallowed entry, or heard the strident thrum of its elysian heart on the night air.
