This is the tale of Lane and how she lost herself in the woods. Lost herself, but found who she really was. The tale goes a little something like this. Lane woke up early that day. She pulled her arms out from under her covers, stretching her muscles to get the blood flowing. She lifted her eye mask from her vivid blue eyes, rubbing away the sleep and wakin...
*~* Author's Note *~* Here is part two of chapter three! I had only meant to break this chapter into two parts, it became three. The next and final part of this chapter will not focus on the mushrooms. Please tell me what you think! It includes mycophilia, which means having a sexual attraction to mushroom or other fungi, in my use it'd be sex mushrooms....
Mushrooms from Outer Space (With a Side of Pepperoni) It was far fuckin' out. Of course, Apple Annie was missing it as usual, having long ago gone inside to burn her incense and chant her incessant mantra. But not Billy Deerfriend. No siree Bob. He was lying out here under the stars enjoying the show. The clouds had finally cleared and the best Leonid met...
Taking a mid-morning walk was one of Daisy's favorite things to do. She was fortunate enough to own a house on the edge of the state-mandated green space and she made it a point to traverse the woodsy trails on her day off. Good exercise and fresh air were a rejuvenating combination. The day was warm and bathed in yellow sunlight. She enjoyed her breakfast...

She did not look back, but Marna knew that her parent's eyes were on her, e...
"Do you realize that because of your actions, our entire village could be destroyed?" The elder hissed into Tia's pointed ear with a look of disdain. Tia looked straight ahead as she fought back tears. Her translucent, fragile wings were tucked together behind her, and her short blue hair was covered in dirt, "I'm sorry," she breathed, almost inaudibly as t...
[#][?][#][?] The traffic was bad in Brooklyn again. The red van stood still amongst the other cars, vans and trucks. Super Mario Bros. Plumbing was printed on the side, along with a picture of two jumping cartoon men. There was a catchy little tune playing on the radio. Mario sat behind the wheel with a bored look on his face. He was a fat Italian man in...
Emmet had recently celebrated his eightieth birthday. His beloved wife of fifty-five years lay dying in a hospital bed. I envied their love and loyalty for one another, sometimes thinking it was too good to be true. They were the picture of devotion in the gentle, and now poignant, things they said to one another when together. And I had observed their ho...
