  • Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: (Things with) Engines or Motors

    At a certain point on one of my favourite trails, we find scattered into the vegetation the remaining parts of an old Ford truck, that was left behind when that land was  sold, and the old mill that used to run there moved somewhere else. The truck is not reallly recognizable anymore and the most… Read more

    Seisyll shows a flier to Sineta, about a lantern festival to be held on October 24th. “That’s on my 16th birthday! Just like Disney’s Rapunzel. I wanna see it!” “That’s what I thought you would. We go together?” “Yes! Of course! Wait a minute… you know what would be even more perfect?” “What?” “Not too… Read more

  • Petrified

    They were best friends, one tall and slim, the other short and chubby. They were not the most honest of the people and made a living from stolen items. But on that summer, they made a huge mistake. They were passing by a farm and saw an amazingly gorgeous vegetable garden, growing delicious succulent vegetables.… Read more

  • Fairytale

    It is her first hike ever. Alina is in awe. A funny butterfly crosses her way and she goes after it. After a while, she reaches a clearing with a stunning waterfall. Fluttering all around the place are thousands of the same funny butterflies. Then she realizes they’re no butterflies. They’re fairies! She knew they existed!… Read more

  • Fiction in 50: Public Enemy Number One

    The public was in awe. The tricks performed by the magician were unbeliveably amazing. Some were trying to explain the tricks, some were just accepting that magic may even exist. Then it happened. The mice chewed the loops that held the curtains, and the secret to the tricks was revealed.   This post was written in… Read more

  • Time

    They were best friends ever since they can remember. It started at toddler years and their friendship only grew with time. They would laugh together, cry together, suffer together, be happy together. But time went by and their lives parted. Each had their own families and had a great happy time with them. She had… Read more

  • The First Prophecy

    Yesterday I created a text about a last prophecy, based on a 15-minute writing challenge I saw at the Sentient Ink blog. But then, after posting it, I realized the theme was actually the FIRST prophecy… Hummm… should I simply allow myself to change the theme? Or should I try again? I guess I’ll keep my… Read more

  • The Last Prophecy

    Angel was crossing the street holding her daughter’s hands. It was a busy street at that time of the day, and she was making sure the lights were green for her and no crazy drivers were trying to go on red lights. When they reach the other side of the street, a woman she has… Read more

  • Forever mine

    Summer used to be on my great-grandmother’s house. A few miles from it there was a beach. It was a rocky beach and at the end of it there was a promontory that was covered up with water at high tide, leaving a few rocks surface like islands. The last island was my hideout. I… Read more

  • The Outside World

    I look outside of my window and I see pretty globes. They are blue, some tinted with a bit of purple too. But they are not solid globes. They’re made out of tiny blue/purple flowers. Hydrangeas! that’s the name I was trying to remember, but the name may not matter to you, right? I see… Read more

  • Even if briefly

    Rain has filled a big pail in the backyard with water. Then the frost comes and the water becomes a big, cilindrical block of ice. One day, we need the pail inside. I drag it in and warm it up a little bit so the ice comes out. I look at the beauty of that… Read more
