Jays singing sweetly

Circling above our heads

At the crack of dawn

Feathers brush the sky

Soft whispers on the cool breeze

Freedom’s song takes flight

Swift dive, water splits

Silver flash in talons’ grip

A meal for their child...

I turn the 'OPEN' sign over. Another day in the DMV. I get in earlier than Tholm, which is unusual. He comes in, panting. Claims something crazy just happened.

Eh. I don't really care anymore. It's only a year or two until I can get into art college, where I might have a bit more imagination. But here? Eh.

"No, really, it really happened!" says Tholm, "Eveything, was, like, glowing!" he says.

Alone, in a small greenhouse, lived a goblin. Not just an ordinary goblin, a ground-goblin. Do you wish for me to elaborate?

Ground-goblins are goblins who have origins in plant-life, originally being a small shrub themself. This particular ground-goblin decided to spend his life looking after the green that could one day become his brother.

Rolf's Story- It was... tolerable weather outside. Nothing special, of course, for it was the middle of March, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the storms a few weeks ago.

A person, a thing, whatever.

The rest folds out, alike the page....

Coming down my letterbox, a shiver down my spine
