Coleridge قصص

The untold life of the character Life-In-Death. Intelligent, proud and using her death to get what she wants, she is a protagonist even the reader won't like. You don't need to have read Coleridge's famous poem: "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" to love this short story! Rethinking her character and re-imagining the possibilities for this story (especially in the relationships between the characters) was the focus. I promise it will give you a surprising perspective or you will be tempted to read the poem!

Samuel never wanted things to end this way. The love of his life wants nothing to do with him. There are unthinkable accusations ringing through the air. He would do anything to make his pain go away. Samuel Coleridge is coming to the realization that there are some things in life that he simply cannot write his way out of.

Darkness. Stillness. Loneliness. Three hells, amassed within the contents of a human skull to torture the mind. Artistically speaking, they are the kerosene that keeps the fire of poetry alive. Consciously, they're traumatically destructive.

It is an ancient Mariner, And he stoppeth one of three. 'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp'st thou me? We've all read Samuel Coleridge's classic poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. But what if the mariner was really...a dwarf? And what if, instead of three bridegrooms, it was Raistlin the Mage held captive, listening to the tale? What follows is the first part an exciting story filled with kender, theft (of course), dwarven treasure, and dragon, in the style of Coleridge. All the love to the inimitable Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman, and much thanks (and apologies) to Mr. Coleridge.
