The Ocean Between The Sky: 003
Dear God, A common thing between families is that they always talk about their children’s birth history. About how happy it is, how tragic or funny, or how one of the parents passed out. I think this history keeps families together and creates happy memories that will keep them strong when the bad moments come, with life starting becoming so real, so cruel.

Apparition Tears
My mad dash through the forest was almost to an end.. My life with it. I have spent most of it running and now that I had served my purpose I would be killed, but not before one glorious final act. I had to get this bird into the skies and since I have been in the Jarden camp, spying on them, this bird with my message needed to get airborne. To make that happen I had to find a clearing somewhere, to set it on it’s journey, to many branches here. We are running out of time. They knew of my treachery and would be upon me soon.

The Farmer
...As evidence implies that the Seeress, knowing the hearts of people, only announces herself as the Seeress to give weight to her proclamations or counsel. This has given rise to speculation that she often passes unknown among people and helps others without them knowing she was there...

The Pact
Part I: The Summoning of Xanzu I wait until the stars are right and the portents most favorable. I lock myself within a chamber in my sanctum, one that I have dedicated to summonings – here I have called creatures from dark and distant realms, beings that are mind rendering horrible or heart numbingly beautiful. These are what common folks would refer to as ‘demons’ and ‘angels’. I assure you that these words are an oversimplification. Such beings cannot be encompassed by mere words. However, this time rather than just call something to our world, my overall plan is to travel to another. A dimension of chaos and rage. A place of horror. I will travel there to bargain for the answers that I seek.

Magic
What is Magic? We define it as the power to influence courses or events through supernatural forces, but what if Magic is deeper and more entrenched than that? Here is where my short story will take us into a world where Magic is far broader than we ever expected.

The Legend of Sapphire
THE LEGEND OF SAPPHIRE Written by: Kate Porter Long ago, when the world was young and humans believed in such things as magic and unearthly power, the gods who resided on Mount Olympus would often visit the mortal realm. More often than not one god or the other would find a comely face and form in which they’d become enamored. You see, their perfection made them bored and their power often led them to believe they could do and have whatever their whim.

The Inheritance
Part 1 Rainbow Heart had never met the woman who left her the house but she claimed to be a distant relative of hers, and she was very clear about one thing in order for her to get the house she had to move in within a week, and so that is what she did. Everything was going great the first few weeks in the house but then she started to hear noises coming from one of the rooms on the third floor; every night she would hear footsteps and talking and then what sounds like a door open and close. After about a week of hearing this noise, she decided to investigate what was going on so she waited until the usual time the noise started and she slowly crept up to the door. She could hear talking coming from inside but she could not hear what was being said so she slowly twisted the doorknob. She was not ready for what she saw when she opened the door, standing next to a wooden door in the corner were two fairies looking very surprised to see her.

Ersatz Eggs
Ben Johnson sighed disappointedly as he saw the brownish orange hue illuminated by the early morning sun hanging in the sky. He missed the blue. He went into the kitchen and started to make some coffee. As it brewed he started a breakfast of fried eggs and toast. Moments later he heard the sounds of his wife stirring. She found him sitting in the kitchen nook. He was reading a paper while taking sips from his mug. Just to the right of him was a plate with the remains of his eggs.

Shadow
Once there was a man named Jack Shadow. His mind was almost always nearly blank. He didn’t know his address. He didn’t know his phone number. He couldn’t remember what he had for breakfast, nor could he tell you the name of his favorite song. But he had a big heart, and worked hard. His house was clean. His lawn was tidy. He dressed smartly.
