Poem - 029, The Bard
My stories are well known throughout the realms.
All told through oral tales, from songs drawn,
Those Knights in their shiny helms.
Surely memory long prevails.
Some are meek, and some are brawn,
But the past simply fails,
To drag on these hearty tales.
So here, to you-
Is another story, ever true,
An accursed land, ready to break through.
You’d begin to wonder if that’s bad,
or maybe… I’m simply mad.
But I should show my care...
For it's not my burden to bear.
Perhaps you may pass it along
For sharing is scarcely wrong.
-Kaliyah Myers, a Poem to a soon to be book named, The Mad Project

The Adventures of Larry and the Laughter Potion
In the heart of a whimsical village nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, there lived a young man named Larry. Larry was known far and wide for his quick wit, infectious laughter, and insatiable thirst for adventure. But despite his jovial nature, Larry found himself feeling stuck in a rut, longing for something more than the mundane routines of village life.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.

Love this! Your title took my interest because I lecture in Shakespeare, and the narrative voice is an intriguing blend of Autolycus the balladeer in The Winter's Tale and the canny deceptive wisdom of King Lear's Fool ("or maybe...I'm simply mad"). The name Autolycus even means "lone wolf," which suits your solitary wondering narrator. Possibly you knew that already though, because I see you speak some Latin - just going by the killer ants in Doorway to Thirteen Realms!
