Valentine’s Day 2020 is here! To celebrate I have a new story for you all. May you find your cherry blossom moon today. Trire breathed in the fragrance of cherry blossoms clinging to her tongue. They were ready. But was she? She stretched reaching for the lowest branches of the cherry tree, covered in blossoms.…
Obvious Suspect
I tapped my lips pondering the flames. While I thought they accentuated the gray brick brilliantly, I knew most wouldn’t agree. How had this happened?
Joke Struck
Alyssum Silkmist’s wings fluttered as she landed on the branch a moment before kicking off and hovering above. A human woman sat sobbing on the forest floor. She didn’t belong.

In the morning, I was greeted by numerous complaints of hearing rattling bones invading all the corridors. I would have thought the personal were going mad, except… I’d heard it…
