A tall boy is throwing rocks at an even taller window.
Behind him are lush gardens, carefully trimmed trees and armed guards that he somehow evaded. Infront of him is the castle, much older and wiser than he. But, he has a mission.
"I thought you said this was a heist." A shorter boy wheezes, his body bent in half, his hands on his knees. He could barely keep up with the taller boy, and had nearly been spotted by a guard. The taller boy had to grab him by the arm to make sure they were out of sight.
The taller boy smiles. "It is. I'm stealing the princess."
A sigh escapes the shorter boy's lips. He's sweating and the late night air of summer is becoming muggy. He thought maybe they were going to rob a store, or steal from the butcher's backroom. But, instead he was here. "And what if she doesn't want to come with you?"
"Oh she will. She just doesn't know it yet."
The taller boy began his mission then, and leapt into action. He clung to the side of the castle, finding hold in the grooves of the brick, and began to climb.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.

Moonlit Love
In the heart of the dense forest, where the moon cast its silvery glow through the canopy of trees, lived two souls bound by an ancient curse—a curse that turned them into creatures of the night, creatures feared and misunderstood by the world around them. They were werewolves, cursed to transform into beasts under the light of the full moon.
