Cottonballs can't compare, to the grey trousers which Fluffy wears. She walks about with graceful feet, never quite missing a beat. She loves to snuggle in her human's arms, or tucked in the hay, safe and warm. But the thing that she loves most, is the kitchen indoors, where the humans make beef … Continue reading On Fluff
On Hats
Warm and cozy on my head as I lay myself in bed. As the flakes fall from the sky, I put on my warm hat just above my eye. And as I hold my mug, so steamy and hot, I wear my favorite hat on my head, warming my hands … Continue reading On Hats
Apologies for “The Chest of Wonders
Hello, all, just wanted to pop in to say something. I said some things that were morally questionable - to the Christian faith I prescribe to - in the story "The Chest of Wonders".

The People who Sit at my Keyboard

Spilt Milk
The glass now lied dreadfully on the floor, cracked, fine hardwood covered with spilt milk. The father looked down at the glass, as did his son. The former looked down sternly and had his hands on his hips, while his son stared down mournfully at all of the milk that he had not been able … Continue reading Spilt Milk
