Marlo was walking down her rusty, old street filled with witches and wizards that lived in harmony. For now. She was working on her latest curse. Marlo would curse the entire town with a terrible sickness that could only be undone for a single person if that person found their soulmate. Since curses are always broken from love, she couldn't find a way to stop it. She just wouldn't tell anyone that...

Banging my head on the concrete was not what I wanted to do today.

I was walking with my friend, Mary. She was getting mad at me over my boyfriend, claiming that she wanted him forever and I stole him.

Keep in mind that he moved here a month ago and she claims she has loved him forever. And she didn't tell me that.

But anyways Mary just kept getting madder and madder until she pushed me over. I...

In the village of Eldrow, an ancient tree stood at the center of the square. It bore no fruit, changed with no season, and made no sound. Still, people called it the Listening Tree.

Villagers whispered secrets to its bark, begged for answers, or left offerings at its roots. Some claimed it healed their hearts. Others said it was just old wood.

Mira didn’t believe in magical trees. But after her mo...

"Only the chosen can see the third lantern." That's what my mom and everyone else told me.

I don’t believe in the ancient stories. Not really. My mom did. More than anyone in fact. She was a Lantern Watcher once. Then she vanished. Everyone says she drowned. They say that when the Lake takes people.

Tonight, it was my turn to be a watcher.

I got picked at a ceremony a night ago. I didn't want t...

Back when medicine was more guesswork than science and anesthesia was a luxury, soldiers on the battlefield had only grit and luck to survive surgery. In the mid-1800s, when a soldier took a bullet to the leg or arm. Or worse. There were no operating tables or clean tools. Just blood, torn uniforms, and whatever courage you could summon.

One field doctor, a grizzled man named Horace Bell, had a h...

I don’t know what that thing is, but it smells weird.

They brought it home in a bundle of blankets, all soft and squirmy and louder than the vacuum cleaner. I barked once. Just once! And got the Look from Mom. You know the one. So I backed off. Sat down like a good boy. Watched from the corner like I was spying on a squirrel.

They call it “the baby.” Apparently, it’s important. Suddenly, everyon...

Clouds cover the skies, rain pulls at your eyes,

but nothing hurts as much as little words turned lies.

Soft promises break like waves on the shore,

each echo reminding you what love was before.

The silence that follows is sharp as a blade,

carving the truth from the trust that you gave.

You held on to whispers, believed every sound,

but now even shadows don’t stick around.

So let the rain fall,...
