Enchanted ElmsTop Story - April 2024
The twins had wandered too far and lost their way. They had left home that morning for a day of adventure. The king and queen had specifically warned them against traveling too far; had even reminded the prince and princess to stay protective of one another. Princess Alana had remembered their parents' directions and meant to abide by it; Prince Meric either hadn't remembered his parents' advice or, as usual, had chosen to ignore their words.

In a Word, "Friendship/Platonic Love."
"I love you."/"...Yup; luv ya, bro/babe."/"Lotsa luv to ya."/"Love and appreciate you." These sound familiar; in fact, even in my lifelong season of singleness, I used them ALL OF THE TIME with close personal friends, my nearest and dearest coworkers, and platonic pals.

Witches and Wedding Bells
"Sola-Soalce; Sola-Solet, report to here; the HOUR is SET...!" The sun began to set over Witchhelm. It was the most sinister day of the year in the realm of witches and warlocks and the gathering hour had come. In a barren, unwooded area, a scraggly haired witch and balding warlock, both hidden beneath hooded robes, materialized from out of the darkness and stood around a tiny circle of stones. There were also two much younger witches, identical and red-haired. They both stood at a distance away, bored by the opening ceremony and choosing to gaze off into the distance for even more important arrivals.

One Final Farewell
The...odor...of "nursing home" hung in the air and entered his nostrils. There was no other way to describe the ghastly aroma; just "nursing home." Televisions from other rooms blared and staff marched up and down the halls, each of them exchanging the day's gossip since none of the residents was in need of attention at the moment.

The Author Goes On a Movie Date...
They had done it; he had asked her out and she had said YES! They had visited a few times about movies or the local theater. He had asked her out to the movies or to dinner so many times before.

Prince of Santa Monica
The opulent mansion directly overlooked Santa Monica Pier. Once or twice upon a time, Tony Quinn had wanted to invite a friend over if only just to see the lavish lifestyle of his family just before booting the friend back out into the coldness and emptiness of the impoverished. That had been had Dr. Anthony Quinn and acclaimed model, Moriah Quinn, had treated those whom they considered lesser than. However, they could do so no more. There were two cruel certains in the world; and one of those certain cruelties had removed Dr. Anthony Quinn and Moriah Quinn from their lavish lifestyles and from a world of "lesser-thans." There was no more question of comparisons of earthly wealth for them; their remaining concern now, if they were cognizant of grasping to one, would have been the destination of Heaven or Hell. Suddenly, their kingdom was unattended; save for the heir apparent to the family values and valuables...

Three Little Piglets; and ONE Big Bad Wolf
Claudia had lunch plans for the day. She much preferred her midday retreat plans to be opposite the campus stud. However, times had changed and, today, the university soccer star had to meet with Ginny Myles, one of the campus cheerleaders, and Sara Mason, a simple college sophomore. On a smaller scale, this did have something to do with Jackson Tanner, the campus stud in question. It was little consolation to Claudia as she took a seat in the campus cafeteria across from the other two girls. As soon as Sara saw her, her eyes almost bulged out of her skull.
