Have you ever thought about how nighttime is actually the natural state of the universe, and the only reason we have daytime is because Earth just so happens to be facing a giant star illuminating it? This short story, modeled somewhat after the style of a myth/fable/folktale, deals with Darkness coping with the sudden arrival of Light and the change in her beloved Universe's perspective.
This story is appropriate for all ages, and I personally find that it makes a lovely bedtime story on an anxious night. I hope you enjoy! Comments welcome. Have a delightful evening, everyone.

If he hadn't started doing secret spells? Or if Clearsight had just noticed a little faster than she did? Or if the future had just been a little easier to reach?

This is a story of how happy endings can fall apart, and how life is never neat. Or easy. This is a story of how happy endings can fall apart, and how to put them back together again.

This might be the reason why earth is under the rule of modern science. Nobody ever takes the time to just stop and take a look around... Because of modern science, nobody believes in the impossible anymore, everyone has the instinct that if you can't see something it's not there. There's a truth about fairytales and monsters, but if your ever in the mood to know, the only way to find out...is to fall down the rabbit hole.. "Come with me." "Where?"

"...." "Well?" I extend my hand and she slowly takes it. "There's no going back. You'll never be the same after this.." She nods her head understandingly and I pull her into a world of madness and wonder...Complete

Lilith Jade died protecting those she loved, and she will continue to live through her loved ones. What happens when one equation is taken out of balance? The light, taken away and left them to succumb to the darkness. There is only one definite result; chaos. There is nothing more dangerous than a lovers' revenge; and there is nothing that is stopping them from getting back their light, even if they were running towards death. The end of times is coming; and there was nothing left for them to lose. When the light fades, the bell chimes; then comes chaos. [BOOK SIX OF THE 'ELYSIAN' SERIES]
A Day in the Life of the Human Race (Poetry Volume I)
This book is completely random and contains all different kinds of free-verse poetry. ❅ I don't even know where some of these came from, but are pieces of writing somehow developed from the pits of my consciousness that make me wonder what the hell is even going on in there. ❅ I can't even fully make sense of the things I write, so this book is not neat and not strictly one thing, so if that's what you enjoy then by all means, go find something else. ❅ And these writing pieces are going to contradict each other in more ways than one. ❅ So decide to give it a read, or don't. Either way I hope you have a wonderful time in the human experience. ❅ Have a truly wonderful life, and don't forget to be happy.Complete
