Fable Stories

Before there was time, there was nothing. Then Something woke up in the dark. Alone in an empty universe with no one to answer, Something drifts through the void asking the only question that matters: is there anything else out there? Then, far in the distance, a twinkle emerges. A single light in an ocean of black. To reach it, Something will cross the entire void. It will burn through fields of color and clouds of white, past a thousand false lights, to the very edge of burning away. All for the chance that the twinkle is another like itself. A love story about loneliness, longing, and the two lights whose meeting became everything. How does a universe begin? With a question. A journey. And a name: SP35.

In 1883, a thirteen-year-old boy discovers that God has left a weapon behind: Nehashtan, the Rod of God. It has raised the dead. It has called down storms. It has healed the broken and punished those who would misuse it. It has been passed down through the ages from Moses to Merlin, and now it has fallen into the hands of Gregory Mayhew's Uncle Anton, a former circus performer who has gone from stage magician to traveling miracle salesman. Mr. Miracle's Exodus is a 70,903-word weird-western novel: Death Valley Days meets The Twilight Zone, with the epic Western sweep of Lonesome Dove and the unsettling theological speculation of Michael Moorcock's Behold the Man. When Anton accepts a million-dollar contract to produce a river in Death Valley, thirteen-year-old Greg joins him along with his older brother, Brett, on an expedition across the American West. But the Rod is no ordinary instrument. It has a will of its own, and Greg gradually discovers that its history reaches back far beyond the American frontier to the prophets of the Bible and perhaps even further - Creation itself. The deeper Greg gets into the mystery, the more frightening the truth becomes. The Rod does not simply grant miracles. It judges the people who wield it. Told through the recollections of an elderly Gregory Mayhew in 1949, Mr. Miracle's Exodus is a story of faith, family, resurrection, and the dangerous consequences of putting the power of the divine into human hands.

Once upon a time, Tigg's ancestors and Fann's ancestors-who barely, if ever, knew each other-shared the Million Acre Forr. Each ate their own meal, lived their own space, and walked their own path. In a million ways, they were different. And yet, no one gave it a thought-until humans stepped into the Forr. Humans made 'different' into something different. The ears, feet, skin, eyes, nose, temples, pulse, fur, and even the gut became different. Their right to live their lives has been violated. And yet, they were the ones to be blamed. "Body Parts" is a contemporary version of an Aesopian fable against deforestation and wildlife extinction. May "Body Parts" open our eyes to the wonders of their body parts, so that we'll appreciate their lives much better. May their lives remain real for our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren-not just as a fable.

Won an award. Poems get better with time lapsed since my abstinence. Your mind is a burning room, a drowning storm, and a torturing fairy-tale all at once. Now, descend through its layers and discover what waits in the one place even the flames can't reach. Sad Sundays is my weekly space to share melancholic poetry, words that help me navigate the stillness, the weight, and the quiet storms of recovery. Each Sunday, I post a new piece that I've written, using poetry to process my journey through detox and rehab, to face the difficult parts of healing, and to find meaning in the silence. Every poem is written by hand with help from the Rhymezone platform. This series is as much for me as it is for anyone who finds comfort in knowing they're not alone on their gray days. I will eventually try to tie most of my work together into a larger piece, but first and foremost, this will function as a collection of my writings while I am going through detox. There may be an underlying story, but perhaps not. Find out weekly, and join me for a Sad Sunday moment. New Upload every Sunday at 18:00 (6 PM) German time - CET/CEST (UTC+1/UTC+2).

Prologue: The Whispering Woods Long before Elara was born, the forest that bordered her village was a place of mystery and wonder. The villagers told stories about it-some filled with beauty, others laced with fear. They spoke of trees that moved when no wind blew, of lights that danced through the darkness, and of voices that whispered secrets only the brave dared to hear. Some believed the forest was alive, watching and waiting, testing those who entered its heart. At the center of these tales was the Crystal of Harmony, a treasure said to keep the balance between the village and the woods. Few had seen it, and none who sought it returned the same. Generations passed, and the stories became bedtime tales meant to keep children close to home. The forest remained, vast and unknowable, wrapping its green arms protectively around the village-and hiding its greatest secret. But change was coming. The leaves began to lose their color too early in the year. Rivers that once flowed full and clear began to dry. The animals grew restless, and the air filled with a strange, heavy silence. And in the heart of it all... the Crystal's light began to fade. As the balance shifted, the forest chose someone. Not the strongest, nor the oldest, but someone with courage buried deep in her heart. A girl named Elara, with curious eyes and an adventurous spirit. Her story was about to begin-not just one of magic and danger, but of friendship, courage, and discovering her true strength. For when the forest calls... only the brave can answer.

Mariposa or "Mari" was an average young adult woman who enjoyed a good story. Especially if it was interesting, and had a happy ending to it of course. One day she stumbles upon the anime Romeo x Juliet. Despite hearing that the original theatrical play was a tragedy, seeing how much the animated series changed the original plot of one of Shakespeare's masterpieces. Mari assumed it would end with a happy ending... However, sadly all of her hopes were dashed when the series ended in tragedy. Romeo sacrifices himself for Juliet, and Juliet sacrifices her life to the Great Tree Escalus to save the people of Neo Verona. Mari was enraged, and crestfallen at this yet at the same time she knew it was selfish to think that Juliet and her lover Romeo did not deserve a fate like that, and yet she didn't want the people of the floating continent to suffer a doomed fate either. "Oh, if only there was a way I could change things," Mari thought. "Then Maybe... Just maybe the story itself would turn out differently, and the possibility of getting Romeo, Juliet, and everyone else a miraculous happy ending... I would give my life for that." Little did Mari know that this very kindhearted, and unselfish certain wish of hers was heard, and granted. Sooner or later after watching, and rewatching this anime series multiple times... Somewhere on the way, Mari gets into an automobile accident and dies. Right after her death, Mari soon gets reincarnated in the world of Romeo x Juliet. Now that she is here in this new world she may as well act, and take action. Will Mari be able to rewrite the stars and change not just Romeo and Juliet's fate, but the whole continent itself? Let's find out.
