Big Brotherly Things
The perks of the job were always the stories; no one drove these yellow death cabs for the money. Everyone always raved about the gossip they’d catch during the rides, gathering ‘round for drinks and petty poker to share. There’d always be a contest for the craziest story.

The Underlying Fictional Truth of the Conception Snow White. Content Warning.
Far back in time, somewhere in the younger generations of civilization where kings and queens ruled and princes and princesses fell in love, there was a small but wealthy kingdom. It was as lush and beautiful as a child's dream. Far from danger, on a peninsula with a narrow entrance, the kingdom was relatively safe with a good defense strategy of using the peninsula from being easily invaded by land. And it wasn't much easier by sea for the peninsula that held the kingdom atop a very tall steep cliff that had sea-slippery and smooth walls. Not even wyverns dared try to scale the cliff-sides of this young kingdom.
