Softness is the feeling
Of warm blankets
Next to the fire place
On a cold snowy day
Softness is the shade
Where we have picnics
And chat
About the beautiful weather
Softness is the hug
From a loved one
When we are sad
Or just glad to see them
Softness is the dinner table
With family
Eating a home cooked meal
Surrounded by love
Softness is the feeling
Of comfort and compassion
Softness...
My name is Detest. I am Cupids older sister. The problem with my younger brother is that when he is upset, he drinks. He is normally upset with me because I don’t like the matches he has made.
And my bow is a lot faster than his.
Long story short, he like drinking more embrosia than necessary.
And then he glides down to earth and decides he wants to create chaos.
That’s how I earned my other name...
A unique creature it was. The size and shape of a wolf, with a forest green coat. Behind their dark green ears sat curled horns. The horns were dark black and were the first line of defense.
But they have a second. Much like the surrenderence position of a wolf, Astralisk roll onto their backs. When their attacker pounces. Razor sharp quills shoot out of their body.
Because of this, Astralisk’s ha...

I had been hiding it for six years. I had been hiding since I was eleven, but it was even harder to hide something from the man you love.
I had faked a job as a surgeon, and I did work at a hospital. It was the excuse for the long nights away, the constant flow of money, and the blood under my fingernails.
I just had to keep hiding....
He used to tell me stories of the eagles and hawks that would come rescue us from our prison. And I believed him.
As I got older, that faith dissipated. But with it, a new hope grew.
We started building wings. Made them out of wood, but it was too heavy.
We tried metal, but that was way too heavy.
Then one day, the very eagle I had daydreamed about dropped a feather. It landed next to the one wax...
Mount Denali. A summit of 20,310 feet above sea level. The highest peak in North America. And I was about to climb it.
It wouldn’t be the first mountain I climbed. And it certainly wasn’t going to be the last.
I know the drill. By the time you feel as if you can’t walk and breathe, you are probably only half way. You take breaks and often camp over night. But most importantly, you take an incredib...
Silence smells like the calm after a storm. Sometimes it’s the quiet destruction of the past’s roar. When the cold breeze isn’t quite strong enough to rattle tree branches.
It’s the mystery of what has happened under darkened skies. The unknown of what you might encounter in the storms wake.
Sometimes it’s the gratitude that the storm has passed and anxiety melts away with the thunder.
The gratefu...
Ancient ruins are always thought to be haunted. Many think that the ghosts are going to come back and haunt them.
But everyone has it wrong.
The ghosts don’t come back to haunt us. They come back to share there stories. Unfortunately for us, there are often quite gruesome. Ok, sometimes a lot gruesome.
But they want us to learn where they went wrong. Ghost just tend to be very pushy when they want...
Two weeks after our honeymoon, we decided to have a stay home date. After a few drinks, we decided to play a game of truth and dare.
They were very innocent at first, and they never got spicy. But they got stupid.
They started with being technically illegal until we started bringing the state law for inspiration.
There were no longer truths, just you could do more stupid things. I did not end well...
I still remember being shaken awake by my mother one night. Her dark skin glowed in the moonlight and her freshly shaved head showed she knew what was happening much before I did.
Through sleepy eyes, I watched as a smile grew on her face. Then I heard it, a quiet crack echoed through our silent house.
I flew through our home, into the Dragon Dome. You could see the stars through the panes of gla...
