Waiting in this empty world, Waiting for Then, when the life spray cools. For Now does ride in on the curl of the wave, And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools. We are of the going water and the gone. We are of water in the holy land of water And all that's to come runs in With the thrust on the strand." Kate Bush, "Jig of Life" Gabriel viewed the v...
Walking in a Winter Wonderland There is just something about the first real snowfall; the blanket of white covering everything always leaves me breathless. The pureness of the event makes even the most tainted feel clean. Lately however I haven't been able to get such a feeling though because I live in an area of Canada where snow is almost never seen so...
You know the sort of evenings, good friends, good food, good conversation; and then suddenly it's 2 am and talks flowing faster than the wine, and everything's clear and fuzzy all at once. Then some inevitable force drags the conversation to sex. Telling tales of first times (back seat of a Ford), favourite positions etc until the conversation turns to fanta...

It was the middle of December, the air crisp and clean, snow lightly falling to the ground where it sat, building into a nice layer on the ground . Ashley and I sat inside next to the fireplace, resting against a large pillow, our favorite books in our hands. Becca had gone home to visit family for the holidays, so it was just Ashley and I. The problem with...
Snow White laid still, eyes closed, lips slightly parted, breath coming deep and even. She was aware—somewhat—of the outside world. Sometimes she could open her eyes a crack, though she saw little but the forest around her, the glass of her coffin reflecting back her appearance of hair black as ebony, lips red as the rose, skin white as snow. Perhaps she w...
I stared up at the swaying ocean of ice, that night. That was the night the winter stole the voice from my throat and turned it into the howling wind and the creaking trees and the crystalline clatter of frozen snow. As my life poured out onto the white ground beneath the trees, the low of field clouds that churned above descended to blanket my vision with w...
Lia stepped off the bus at the bus stop corner. The icy cold air immediately met her face causing her to squint and walk briskly through the snow. She hated staying at her sister's house but all of her friends lived too far for her to commute to work everyday. Lia had just gotten off from work and already dreaded the negative comments and criticism her sis...
Author's Note: In 2012, I watched the movie Snow White and the Huntsman, and then I proceeded to write this story. I failed to complete it then, but now I am determined to pick up on my unfinished writings. *.* Lily ***** Chapter 1 - The Evil Queen's Narration Winter time came early this year. I saw it from my balcony and all outside the windows came fir...
"Come on, girls! Up! Up! Up!" It was early in the morning, hours before dawn. In the pitch-black bedroom, the sound of snowflakes hitting the window sounded like radio static. The girls all grumbled in annoyance, even the usual, perky Sonja. It didn't help that the bedroom was chilly. I turned on the lights but Momo and Sonja just pulled the blankets over t...
