Angels
Willie Hewes
Angel submitted
willingly to the curse that extends his life, but
that doesn't make actually living any sweeter. Seeking a
peace that has thus far eluded him, his
unconventional solution
is to become a... statue.
Candida of the Hamadriattis
Quinn Tyler Jackson
A black flag of mourning flies
over Castle Nuvola. "One
cannot neglect the living to mourn the dead," gently chides Melania's
mother, but young Melania is becoming increasingly uneasy. She has been
having dreams about her dead cousin, Candida, and these dreams have
begun to take on a decidely erotic tone.
They Came for Me!
Susan Saladino
When a young
woman awakens to find her world transformed - the people around
her somehow strange and different - she's shocked,
frightened, and determined to find out why.
Where Poets Go
Janita Black
Writer's groups
exist so members can share what they've created and learn about
their craft. It is a highly personal association, and friendships
between members often flourish. How terrible it is, then, when a valued
member, one who painted lyrical pictures with words, is suddenly
gone from the group's midst. It is left for other crafters of words
to remember the fallen member, and this poem is Janita Black's
offering to the memory of Oklahoma poet Judson Palmer.
Christabel
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
When the Baron discovers that the
lovely, lost woman his daughter befriended in the forest is
the child of his greatest and oldest enemy, the veils fall
away from his eyes and he forgets his anger. He resolves to
restore the lovely Lady Geraldine to her father's house
forthwith, but what is this evil spell that has fallen over
beautiful, gentle Christabel, the very apple of her father's eye?
