Nothing a King did was quite as dull as checking the post, but it had to be done, and birds brought letters to the palace hourly. Ulric had half a mind to ignore the lot of it, to let Edwin read them all and relay what little importance there was to him after. But Ulric knew better—he was taught better. 'A King who reads no letters knows no Kingdom,' his fat...
"East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet," or so wrote the illustrious Rudyard Kipling in his 'Ballad of East and West.'

After a disastrous couple of years at Bay State College in the City of Boston, Massachusetts, I cost my family a ton of money and got into a bit of trouble. When you're a nice young man from the island of Haiti who's lucky enough to have your parents pay for your schooling, you ought to be thankful. Oh, I'm not an ingrate but the reason why I failed is becau...

Together, HDK and GeorgeAnderson crafted one of LW's greatest stories in "No Reply" and "No Reply: Answered."

HDK did the same in the original story. I have done it before, and many good w...
*** This is my first story, let me know what you think. *** *** It was mid-afternoon, and a girl ran hard across the field. The grass was short, and even though she wore a half-inch heeled boots, it provided excellent footing. Her flowing ankle length dress billowed wildly around her long legs as she descended into a natural dip in the landscape. On her h...
