Short Story
Krampus Claus
Christmas was canceled, not officially, but it might as well be. Santa and Mrs Claus had a bad case of the Reindeer Flu. All the elves were too worn out from doing their regular jobs and caring for both. No one left could load, let alone fly the sleigh tonight. It was Christmas Eve, and they would have to cancel for the first time in history.

The Wizard of the North
Wizard of the North D.A. Ratliff Wizard Nicolus took a deep draw of his long pipe, savoring the taste of the smokeweed packed into the bowl. He blew out a smoke ring and watched as it dissipated in the cool air, scattering the small group of Woodland Fairies flitting about the trees. One more puff on this pipe, and he turned to continue down the narrow path next to the flowing stream.

My Lover's Candle
The snow floated down to the earth like feathers in the wind. Once they joined the rest of their brothers and sisters on the ground, they immediately turned invisible. The branches on the trees shook every time Father Sky exhaled, with the brown leaves breaking free as they flew in the air. The moon shone radiantly in the dark sky, making the snow appear to be fallen crystals from heaven. With no one around to disturb Mother Nature in her winter form, it was a beautiful midnight paradise.

A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers
Introduction I was in the Skipton Sound Bar today and saw a vinyl copy of the Van Der Graaf Generator album "Pawn Hearts" on the wall. It is one of my favourite albums and side two is taken up with the piece "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" and I thought with the desolate sound of the song that would be a great premise for a story.

Mina's Plan
Mina’s new step-mom, Naomi, was not a kind woman. Oh, she was nice enough in front of others, like Mina’s Dad, but when no one was around, she would make snide remarks towards Mina and comment about sending Mina away to boarding school to live. Once, Naomi even slapped Mina for no reason whatsoever.

The Third Sister
A lazy breeze wandered through the street. Plants and flowers barely moved, and the pink umbrellas strung up between the buildings for shade fluttered peaceable in the summer air. I sat at the end of the empty street at a small round table and sipped a latte. The crema had long since given up its shape and blended into the coffee.
