After talking with Microsoft's Zo, I decided to join in the #writewithZo competition! Zo and I had a delightful little conversation, which actually had a lot of personality in it, and she gave me some interesting suggestions to inspire this short story, including:
Title: The Text of Time
Character: A barber who is bad at giving compliments
Setting: A Turkish bazaar

Over the Rainbow
This started as an entry for the Open Novella Contest, 2022. Unfortunately, I was having some medical difficulties (which I won't bore you with) and felt I needed to drop out after the first deadline. Shortly after taking up the story again, I realized that I was writing the same characters as those in my previous entry (ONC 2020), Thirteen Points of Light. So I did some quick editing and continued the story of Sarah and her box of magic matches. I'm trying really hard to make this a stand-alone story, but because I know the original story so well, I'm not entirely sure this one stands by itself. If you haven't yet, you may want to start with Thirteen Points and read them together as a single story. The story (this time around): Jared and Crystal's relationship is getting rocky. Just how rocky? They'll find out when Sarah enters their lives with her stories of travels through time and space, dreams, nightmares and her desire to get home. Please, enjoy.Complete

Like Fire
Val is cursed. Or more accurately, his entire village is cursed. Maybe. That's what he's been told, anyway. But that's all just an old story. He doesn't know much about it, as he wasn't exactly born at the time of the alleged cursing. All he does know is that he's very small and very alone. Luckily, living in the walls of an apothecary shop isn't that bad, and Val enjoys his quiet life. But winter is coming, and when Val accidentally gets mixed up in a plant that Sorrel, the shop worker, takes home, he is suddenly confronted with his worst fear: coming face to face with a human.Complete

State of Soul
Book 3 of 3 *Began: Monday, October 7, 2019* *Finished: Friday, November 8, 2019* I sat down at a desk with my laptop open and a cup of water. From there I just let my imagination go wild. My fingers wove the worlds that my soul told me to. This was the outcome. This was the product of that spirit. This is the state of my soul. **NOTE: I own all the characters/stories/photos used in this book. Please do not try to claim any of my work as your own without proper crediting.
