Crisis in the Amazon
Are we living our lives as if every day is a new fairytale unfolding. Granted, some fairy tales are far more wonderful for some than for others. There are people surviving day to day in not so fairytale like conditions, yet are doing more for the ecological survival of the planet than those who seem completely oblivious to warnings of "Less is More". If we are to continue to survive safely, we need to wake up to the reality of that which is unfolding around us. This is not a storied fairytale.

The young Witch, a retelling
Minerva the witch was very versatile. She could shapeshift and do wonderous things while she flew around pretending to be this person or that thing. She could make her broom grow arms and transport her in style instead of sitting quite unladylike upon a flying stick.

Moss and myth
Time had crumbled, slumbered and hid itself beneath moss covered vines. A once thriving city had been abandoned and left to sleep. Beneath this city slept an overgrown, vine covered and prickly proliferation of roots, limbs, leaves and a lovely floral entomological delight of plant and leeching ivy overgrowth. A myth of ghosts and ghouls surrounded the very mention of the city's forbidden name.
