The moon and sun dance together yet so far apart.

Just for a moment they wish to share time.

But only some days are they able to even catch a glimpse of the other.

For one day of the year they are able to embrace.

They wrap their arms around each other just for a moment with thousands of eyes watching but it no longer matters....

Now I can’t be sure if Eros was hungover when he made the match of my two college friends, but it sure seemed so. My college husband as we joked, Vincent and my college best friend so far, Gertrude worked interestingly at best, as a pair. They were so wrapped up in their friendships that neither of them would make a move. I could see it in the way they met eyes, the moment too long before they bro...

Moon sobbed as she explained the local witch how Bramble had passed. She needed him back and she knew it would be expensive. It didn’t matter how much it would cost, as long as she could bring him back. He was everything to Moon although she didn’t know how to show him. She offered the lady her journal dedicated to him; the journal that held all of the words she didn’t know how to say. Moony fell ...

A magical library that was said to be like a labyrinth, was seemingly no place for a small, young man with one long braid grown out to show his love for Star Wars. It wasn’t quite a place for Natalia either, a young lady, a bit taller than average wearing huge platform boots to compliment her black and purple hair. Boots and braids, an interesting pair and two very different people to happen to re...

As the narrator, I think it’s best I introduce myself before the people I watch over. I enjoy reading these stories to you more than any other genre. I know narrators aren’t meant to have a preference, but I can’t help it! There’s so much variety when it comes to romance. It can be a bit more stoic or have a lot of drama. This one isn’t my favorite of all my stories but it’s probably in the top th...

I’ll never forget the mixed taste of cucumbers, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil together in a big bowl of salad. It had to be a glass bowl and Yiayia always put way too much vinegar. Bamba would salt his own salad because he knew it had none on account of my grandfather. He was diabetic amongst many other heath issues, some of which he’s passed down to me. I can still smell the kitchen f...

“In this world, in society now, we really have to kill to keep the next generation alive. More and more killers are taking action in using and murdering children for their own enjoyment. Of all the reasons to kill, that’s the only rational one I can imagine. If you kill to save a life or to save someone from an experience that will ruin their life, it should ...

Of all the performers of this suggestive circus, Spanks had the cheekiest name. He had a bit of a big mouth but he had enough street credit around these parts where he could get away with it. He had been to both juvy and jail in his short time of twenty eight years. Spanks didn’t know how to trust people. Most people outside of the circus were awful, especially the peop...

Bramble reached over to touch the center of Moony’s chest and looked to the many overlapping scars over her heart.

“You can- you can touch it…” She whispered, almost afraid. Moon had never let anyone touch that scar and anyone who got close would be pinned to the ground with a sword at their throat. Bramble was different. He could be trusted but he was the limit. Bramble slowly moved his hand over...

When a king or queen requests your talents, the consequences for failure to obey orders can be great. For some people, they have to disobey orders for the sake of the person who’s requested it. Mir was a potions master and he had magical ability but no magic talent. He was summoned to the palace and before the queen.

“So you’ve come to perform magic for us?”

“Oh no, I’m not doing any more magic. ...
