A Partial Family Reunion

When she could see clearly that Mario and Anya were safely in the rescue boat nearing her, she smiled and sighed relieved. As soon as reach was accomplished, Fig scooped up Anya from the boat as the officer helped Mario out of the boat at the same time.

This was written for Mike Singleton's Octoberon Challenge for the International Walk To School Month: * * * The girl craved attention. No one understood why — her parents loved and cared for her, yet she still didn’t feel right in her own skin. People often told her things like, “Others have it worse” or “You should be happy to be healthy,” but those words didn’t make her feel any better. At school, she tried to fill this emptiness by picking on her classmates. She’d make rude remarks whenever she felt like it, and soon enough, everyone started avoiding her. One day, her parents found out she’d been bullying others, and they were shocked. They thought everything was fine—she’d come home, go to her room to study, and stay out of trouble. They never imagined she might have trouble fitting in. Her dad was especially upset. After a serious talk that night, he decided on a lesson. The next morning, as she was about to get into the car, he stopped her. “You’re walking to school today,” he said firmly. Annoyed, the girl sighed and started heading toward the bus stop. But her dad called after her, “I’ll go with you by car to make sure you don’t take the bus. If you try to, we’ll have a big problem.” The girl was shocked. “But, Dad, school is five miles away…” Her father's response was firm and cear.

The day the river ran backward. Top Story - October 2024. Content Warning.
The river ran backward on the day the Queen vanished. The river was always the Queen's favorite place. She'd sit on a rock, dipping her toes in to let the fish nibble on them. So, it was no surprise that her favorite scholar, Kai, immediately noticed that the river began fleeing when the Queen wasn't anywhere to be found. It also helped that she left a note—"Follow the river," it had said, but of course, the river led out of the kingdom and into the deep woods.
