The Wooden Ladle

Part 0 of Cast Out-I’m going back in time to a couple days before my last writing.

Keldur flopped back on his bed with a sigh. Boredom and frustration had been his closest friends in the monastery, creeping in over the years like the mold in the corners of his stuffy room. For all the riches of the upper city, they still wouldn't give the students adequate housing. Life was a constant cycle of w...

The monk continued, ¨Until he returns, you must stay on the monastery grounds. All of your things must be packed by Friday, and your books must be returned.¨ Then, with a sigh, the monk excused him. Keldur closed the door slowly. As the latch clicked in place the sound echoed with a frightening finality. Somehow, he knew it was coming. Like the shadows had whispered warnings in the silence. But no...

The wind blew mournfully by the old Monastery. Its marble spires rose up hundreds of feet in the air. Keldur tapped his pencil on the desk, completely zoned out as he stared out the huge floor to ceiling window. Far below the cliffs of Calmorien foamy waves crashed against jagged rocks framing a white beach. Seated at the back of the room, Keldur hoped to escape the notice of the old monk. With a ...

A Story Without Context

The drop is steep,

The waters shine,

From those who weep,

The troubles mine,

The moon shines down,

On secrets lost,

A forgotten crown,

Now paid the cost,

The cool waves around,

The dark stillness over me,

They lap my feet with little sound,

On nights last hear my plea,

The moon shines bright,

The time has come,

Hear my plight,

Under shadows numb,

The sea calls,

The waters reach out,

With birds...

With feet pounding on the fast-moving treadmill, her light brown hair bounced behind in happy little waves. Her deep blue eyes sparkled in the evening light shining through the window. With lightly tanned skin and a dusting of freckles across her nose, she practically shone from the inside out. Of course, it could have been the sweat, but I tend to think the prior. With only half a mile left, she ...

Mary Magneline watched as the foamy waves engulfed the rocks below. She had a great urge to get on with it. To finally be free. All she had to take was one step and it would all be over. Suddenly, she heard the flapping of wings and looked up to see a white Dove. Strangely astonished and captivated by its beauty, everything else blurred. All her desires were forgotten and all she wanted to do was ...

The frigid wind whipped Selina’s blonde hair back with a howling screech. Snow crunched under her numb feet as the world grew black. “I’m going to die here.” She paused, the dreaded realization wrapping her heart in its cold clutches, “alone.” she whispered, her breath catching as tears ran down her frozen cheeks. It took all her will to keep going. With every step her weight became heavier. Each...

Underneath Arisdur's double moons lay a silver beach. The crystal water reflected the bright glow of the heavens, dousing the earth in cool light. Eldarien’s soft shoes whispered over the sand. Her light dress billowed in the gentle breeze. Its fabric rustled with each step. Her shining blue eyes gazed over the petals of millions of white lilys. Their milky petals moved with the tides ever-changin...

Not One Bite

Keldur glared at the massive amount of food before him. A variety of meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and every possible delicious treat. It was everything anyone could want. Only, he didn't want it. In fact he felt quite sick. The very smell made him want to vomit. His stomach was painfully knotted and his throat was clogged by a large lump. “I suppose if I tried to swallow anything I would ch...

“-And don't get distracted!” he shouted. Selina closed the door behind her and breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, she would listen to her father and get the needed things. But not before she took a quick detour towards the castle gardens. Selina stuffed the paper in her pocket and pulled on her jacket. She loved the fresh sm...
