“What happened?” asked Barbara, looking around the off-white chamber. The tall person in the white robe smiled. “We get a lot of that. You turned left on the corner of State and Delaware just as a driver lost control of his SUV. You were caught between the grille and the window washer’s scaffold.” Continue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Reassessment”

FICTION FRIDAY: Garden Gate
“Any you guys want to pray a bit, we got some time.” It was not a whisper, but the gruff voice was no louder than one. I looked around to see if one of the neighbors had a window open, and I was getting some Sunday afternoon movie. Kneeling in the garden, IContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Garden Gate”
FUZZ ORDAINED: Olivia and Griff
Olivia took hold of her collar with both hands. “It’s going to rain,” she stated. “It’s not going to rain.” Griffin shook his hair back. “Besides, thunder and lightning will make it even better.” Olivia’s lips pulled in. Griffin realized that he’d have had a better chance if he’d said the secondContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Olivia and Griff”
FICTION FRIDAY: Drawing
Bud hunched his shoulders. That had sounded very much like an expensive drawing table being tipped over and kicked. But Aster was at an age where her bedroom door was a. a shield against an irrelevant outside world, b. the guardian of her privacy, her identity, and her human rights, and c. a force fieldContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Drawing”
UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: All Awake
A tremendous party was held as soon as everyone could get inside the castle. Minstrels recited hastily-composed sonnets on snoozing while dulcimers played in the background. People milled around in the grand ballroom taking refreshments from long tables against the walls. Dimity sat at a high table in the back of the room whereContinue reading “UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: All Awake”
UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: Fiends Everywhere
Affretz did not recognize the hand that caught at his boot, but knew at once it could have nothing to do with the flower. He grabbed it, more because it was dragging him into the hole than any other reason. A dirty but familiar face gazed up at him, and then Deedee seemedContinue reading “UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: Fiends Everywhere”
UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: Underground Princess
Dimity was discovering that there were many things in this castle which, if they were not as bad as the ogre, were quite bad enough. Her plan had been to break the glass in the greenhouse windows and escape back into the forest. This plan was based on complete ignorance of ogre greenhouses. Continue reading “UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: Underground Princess”
Unsleeping Beauty: Gardening With Dragons
Affretz swung up his sword to whack the dragon away, but the dragon let go at once and shook its head. “You don’t understand!” Steam dribbled from its nose as it whined, “You’ve broken half the spell! Help me break the other half!” “Spell?” demanded the prince. “Oh, I get it! WhatContinue reading “Unsleeping Beauty: Gardening With Dragons”
Unsleeping Beauty: The Princess and the Ogre
Meanwhile, having been surrounded by a sack, Dimity found herself being dragged down stairs which would have been much too high for her to have walked down. They felt like tree roots as she bounced across them, but the smell alone would have helped her guess she had been taken underground. “You areContinue reading “Unsleeping Beauty: The Princess and the Ogre”
Unsleeping Beauty: Multiple Threats
Affretz sat up and rubbed his eyes. Was something wrong? He couldn’t hear Deedee talking. There was nothing much to see but the wagon, the sinister forest, and the horses. He was about to call out when he heard Archels’s voice. “How could we let him get away? I wanted to findContinue reading “Unsleeping Beauty: Multiple Threats”
