A prose poem of epic fantasy.. Some dragons.. No elves.. A tale of forgiveness and grief.. Begun in fire and the dark beyond midnight.. For there are some things we try to hide even from ourselves..

Before the magic flute was broken.. Dragons were feared.. Dragons raged.. Wraths and Wraiths had to be destroyed.. Except one doubted the truth of his eyes.. One would seek history to reveal truth beyond lies.. This is the prequel to The Magic Flute..

Close your eyes.. Maybe they won't notice you.. You cannot hope to understand the Faire Folk of Gideon.. Only survive them..

Strangely enough this story is a very faithful adaptation of a dream.. bizarre.. twisted.. cruel.. dream.. Once upon a time, I thought the story ended here..

This is the next strange and twisted step that began with A Dream of the Shadowlight.. I never thought there was more story to tell.. This story sets the stage for everything that follows..

Not for the squeamish.. What kind of sick and twisted person would even think of a story like this.. I know someone who got half-way through this monster and couldn't finish it because it was too intense.. Warned you..

One of my old professors used to talk about different types of students who turned up in his class.. the mouth-breathers and the walking brain-dead..

One year, I attended an anti-valentine's day party.. Thought it was a great idea.. What does valentine's day mean to you..

This is little more than a character sketch.. One of these days I'll get around to finishing Tegin's story.. She is one of those figures that has been running around in the back of my mind for as long as I can remember..

Your assignment (if you should so choose to accept it) is to write a story with unusual elements that the characters do not find odd at all..

This thing began life as a misunderstanding.. There was this Patricia A. McKillip story called something like The Throme of the Earl of Sherrill.. Now, I thought the title was "throne" and not "throme".. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the story was about a song.. Well, I figured since I had my own imaginings about what the "throne" would be about that I would just have to write it..

A little scene.. A passing trifle.. Make of it what you will..

Speaking of misunderstandings.. When I wrote this little thing, I thought it was totally serious.. Anyone who has ever read it thought it was supposed to be a comedy.. Go figure..
