They’d always told the tale of the lady in the forest, how you should never meet her eyes, for if you did she’d be the last thing you see. People thought it was funny to taunt the children who lived nearby, to threaten them that the lady in the forest was gonna get them if they didn’t behave. I never believed those silly tales, until it was me who was looking in her eyes....

When she first heard the news of the attack coming for the capital, her stomach sank. The relentless attacks on the Sun Kingdom were constant. It seemed everyday there was new reports popping up across the lands. If there was a time to reveal her powers, it was now. When her country and community needed her most.

Misery?

🌷🧚🏽🐜Oddity ✨🪱

Her life is completely miserable,

And you can try to convince her that,

There’s more awaiting her;

You are dishonest,

She will never get what she dreams of;

Saying that,

Her hopes for the future still burn bright,

Is over exaggerating things,

‘Everything is falling apart’,

Because,

She likes to think she is able to fix her errors,

But that is a terrible lie,

Her dreams are too far fetched,

She’s a...

A Robot’s Strawberry

Pam Fahsai

A robot sits still.

He has no will.

He is controlled by those around him.

He can not move on a whim.

But being around humans,

it changes him.

Humans fight for themselves, for others, for their land,

and no matter what,

their world is never dim.

The robot wants to be that;

he doesn’t care if that is not what he is meant for.

He will not stay still like a dormat.

He wants to see the world to explo...

The bright colorful balloons, swayed to the musical light

This bachelorette chick only party, is happening tonight

The happy wine tasting bride, who will be walking to be

She danced and laughed, and sang her song for you and me

The midnight clock, sang its nightly chimes for the bride

A uninvited female guest arrived, her love she did not hide

This once cheerful female gathering, was gettin...

It was the drinking and carousing that Theda hated most. The young nun traced a finger around the rim of her glass of ginger ale, and sighed.

“Don’t be such a stick in the mud,” the girl seated next to her said, poking Theda’s elbow with an umbrella swizzle stick. “Lesh have a dance!”

Theda felt herself pulled on to the dance floor. She felt so wrong without her habit on. As if the convent’s pr...
