Patchouli Boy
It was 2011 when I walked into the pool’s natatorium for the first time. It was depressing. It was dark. The only light was coming from a few windows near the ceiling. I wanted to keep it a secret from my then-boyfriend that I was swimming. I wanted to be able to keep up with him when he asked me to swim with him, and I didn’t want to embarrass myself. Many years later, I would be in that same place teaching his wife to swim in that same lane and laughing at what a terrible swimmer he was.

The rats
Doctor Charles Howard peered through his microscope at his latest specimen. He hoped with every fiber of his being that he had injected his specimens correctly. If he had made a fatal error like last time it would put back his process another 2 weeks. He was already behind his personal deadline. The lab was quiet, he liked the chatter of his colleagues, but today was a Sunday. He wanted the lab just to himself, peaceful and quiet to focus on his studies. He looked down the lens and smiled for no one but himself. His hypothesis had been correct.

Tale of Mongomery Chap. 10
Carac awoke before Montgomery, the sun just beginning to shine through the purple and green stained glass windows. He placed one foot out of the bed onto the soft carpet, pausing to ensure he didn’t wake Montgomery. Slowly, he slid his body out of the bed, his movement halted briefly by Frog's snoring. When she settled back into her snores, he crept out of her room.

The tale of Montgomery Chap. 9
I awoke the next day, snug in one of the hammocks, the soft morning sunlight filtering through the ceiling above. I couldn't tell how long I had been asleep. As I stretched and sat up, my eyes fell upon a plate beside my hammock. It held a delightful breakfast of scrambled eggs and buttery potatoes. It must have been Luca's doing. I couldn't resist the temptation and started eating, savoring the perfect texture of the potatoes.

Tale of Mongomery Chapter 8
I could see the Fortress in the distance on the horizon. As we got closer, I could make out the outline of Carrot running towards us with her tiny legs. Luca's horse began to slow her gallop into a trot. I gave a slight tap at the reins for the horse to stop, and she came to a halt. Luca jumped off, and Carrot reached her feet, squirming and panting with excitement. Luca picked him up, and Carrot began licking him as fast as he could. "Good girl, Carrot! Did you miss me?" asked Luca in his gentle voice.
