They all watched as the child choked in the clearing that the Moon Goddess possessed. He clutched his neck with pale, strained hands as his face grew from red to blue to purple. In the light, he seemed like a crystal about to shatter as his shift ran through him, over and over again; his nails lengthened before drawing back; hair grew from his every pore before retracting back into the skin; his e...

It was raining and cold. There was no shelter along the road. Huo Linghun and Xiao Xin were running toward a distant shape that they hoped was an inn. "It'll be fine," Huo Linghun said through chattering teeth.

But when they arrived at the "inn" they found it was just a large boulder. In a field beyond the boulder there stood a tree. "We'll be fine after all, we can sit under that tree to get out...

(So I actually had a book in progress with this scene in it and the book got deleted. It was my favorite scene. Enjoy)

“What happened!?! I was gone for five minutes?” Cove yelled. The three boys that made up the friend group stopped what they were doing and looked at her. Asher was holding Sorrin by the legs. Sorrin hanging upside down by Asher was covered in duct tape, silly string, paint, flour...

Footsteps

On windy days when hearts a flutter

Or while walking vehicle sputter,

Look around and grin for someone’s there.

When alone in world be of good cheer.

When snowflakes brush against rosy cheek

Or when in no man’s land and way bleak,

Someone’s got your back watching each step.

Angels watch from mountains to lower depth....

Squished between a plump banshee and a raccoon eating a literal garbage sandwich, Larkspur resigned herself to another long day at the Golden Ring DMV. For comfort, she buried her nose in her cloak. Larkspur drew in a deep breath of brimstone. This morning’s flying lesson with Scarlet had been perfect. K turns, reversing, even parallel docking, Larkspur hadn’t made a single slip up. Today would be...

Knock, knock! (You had doors back then, right?)

How have you been? Surviving, I’m guessing. You’d be surprised how much people would love to hear that word now… or not! …I don’t know… It’s a little hard to not make a joke every second to lighten the mood here. Every year has it’s waves of highs and lows, but 25 years of this is just getting ridiculous - agree?

Turning away from the obvious, I hop...

“Before we begin, have you got everything?”

I nod eagerly, nervous of the bored-looking man who holds my future in his hands.

He sighs, adjusting his glasses and reading from his computer.

“Birth certificate?”

“Yes.” I reply as he lists off more.

“School records? First aid coursework, dragon care apprenticeship, horse riding course signed by instructor, dragon biology test results, flight tra...

“Good luck, honey,” called mom, as I walked up to the stage. The curtains swished open. Then I saw exactly how many people came to watch me singing idiotic, childish, songs. I started singing…”and the cat jumped over the mic.” “Umm was that correct?” I whispered. Just then the hardwood moon came crashing down onto my leg I heard a loud snap as pain went crashing through my body. I couldn’t hold o...
