Hainted Rock

One was told that it happened in a small, white farmhouse hidden behind massive rolls of baled hay. If you slowed down, you could glimpse its rusted tin roof and beaten chimney. It lay empty and neglected in a field; yet, it still held a seeming scar that gave the country road its eldritch name.... Sign in to see full entry.

Breaking the Silence

Many a dream has been quashed by fear of ridicule and failure. What is worse: failing to try or expressing the heart's desire? Ridicule exists because of failing to try. What appears as the worst possible outcome might just be the defining moment of victory over the nonexistent. Shall we embrace our... Sign in to see full entry.

The Unintended Host

Perhaps the portal opened through attempts at contact, a summoning through a 'child's game.' After all, we were children and had permission to play. Yet, something changed in the atmosphere, a subtle hint that one was not alone anymore. It would make itself known from time to time. Lights would... Sign in to see full entry.

The Imprint

The area was well known: it was a former homeplace, now covered with woodland and converted to a wildlife management area. There were coyote/wolf hybrids in the area, boasting one-hundred pounds in body weight. If you came at night, you could hear their plaintive, collective cries; otherwise, you...

There were many orchards of them in the area; doubtless, they were a lucrative product.

There was a magic about it: the golden rays of... Sign in to see full entry.

You Can Dish It Out; Why Can't You Take It?

Karma is a result of projecting who we are onto the world, and experiencing it as if it were happening to us; Thus, it is our own self-judgments that emerge as dislikes and disapproval; Are not the kindest souls the most appreciative? Do not the most loving individuals find love even in the most... Sign in to see full entry.

The Grand Disguise

The fruits of one's passions are nourished by the root of intention; Withhold yourself from others, and the root is left arid and rotten; Who can hide from what he himself has created? No living thing can thrive without first accepting what it is. Sign in to see full entry.

187

I was downtown, standing in the EMS supervisor's office, when the call came in. He looked at me with a smile, and asked, 'You want to go check it out?' The lure of seeing someone murdered did not seem all that abnormal to me then; after all, I witnessed a great deal of violence and felt privileged... Sign in to see full entry.

Unbecoming

Seemliness exists in direct proportion to the level of attachment: a thing is woshipped only when it is believed to be the sating of one's innermost desires. Therefore, is a thing valuable intrinsically? Or, does a thing become valuable only after care and attention are afforded it? Not only is... Sign in to see full entry.
