Holiday Pen Pal. Top Story - October 2023.
The holidays are coming and it’s tough. This will be my second holiday season without my husband. Only last year it all happened so quickly after he died, I didn’t even have the time to think about it. I was overwhelmed with grief and simply didn’t care to please others with my presence. But now it’s been a year since Andrew’s death and I feel like some people expect me to move on, and join the festivities.

Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Canas — A Wonderfully Refreshing Vampire Novel
Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Canas We find ourselves in the 1840s during the Mexican-American War. Isabel Canas takes us on a journey with vampires that breaks out of some of the tired cliches we have been used to. We follow Nena and Nestor, who have a long history and a bit of a complicated romance that follows throughout. That complicated romance, however, is well worth the wait for those of you who might be wondering.

UNSPOKEN

The air was thick with tension, as if a storm was brewing within the confines of their hearts. Lily and Mark had once been inseparable, two halves of a whole, but now an impenetrable silence separated them.

The Forest Of Dreams
Lila loved to explore the forest behind her house. She often wandered among the trees, looking for animals, flowers, and mushrooms. She felt a connection with nature that she could not explain. She felt like the forest was alive, and that it was waiting for something. One day, as she was walking along a familiar path, she noticed a strange glow in the distance. She followed it, curious and excited. She came to a clearing, where she saw a large tree with golden leaves and silver fruits. The tree was surrounded by a ring of mushrooms, and the glow came from the tree itself. Lila approached the tree, feeling a warm and welcoming presence. She reached out to touch one of the fruits, but as soon as she did, she felt a jolt of energy run through her body. She gasped and fell to the ground, unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself in a different world. The forest was still there, but it looked more vibrant and colourful than before. The trees had different shapes and sizes, some with flowers, some with crystals, and some with feathers. The animals were also different, some familiar, some exotic, some fantastical. Lila saw birds with rainbow wings, rabbits with horns, deer with wings, and many more. She also saw other beings that looked like humans but with pointed ears, fair skin, and bright eyes. They wore clothes made of leaves, flowers, and vines. They smiled at her and greeted her warmly. “Welcome to the Forest of Dreams,” one of them said. “You are one of us now.” Lila was confused and amazed. She asked them who they were and what they meant. “We are the Dreamers,” they said. “We are the guardians of this forest and all the creatures that live here. We have a special bond with nature, and we can use its power to create and shape our dreams. You have been chosen by the Tree of Light, the source of our magic. You have a gift that we need.” They explained that the Tree of Light was dying and that they needed someone who could restore its life force. They said that Lila had that ability because she had a pure heart and a strong connection with nature. They said that they had been waiting for her for a long time. Lila was shocked and honoured. She felt a surge of emotion and gratitude. She agreed to help them save the Tree of Light and the Forest of Dreams. They took her to the Tree of Light, which looked weak and faded. They told her to touch it again and to focus on her love for nature and her wish for its well-being. Lila did as they said, and felt another jolt of energy run through her body. But this time, it was different. It was warm and gentle, like a hug from a friend. She felt the Tree of Light responder touch and saw its glow grow brighter and stronger. She also felt a connection with all the Dreamers and all the creatures in the forest. She felt their joy and gratitude, their hopes and dreams. She felt like she belonged there. She opened her eyes and saw the Tree of Light shining like a star in the sky. She saw the Dreamers cheering and celebrating. She saw the animals dancing and singing. She smiled and joined them. She had found her home in the Forest of Dreams.
