Fable

Tainted: “A Fable”
Our story begins with a pretty, white, owl living on the outskirts of the snowy Himalayan mountains. She never cared much for politics, so she decided to go rogue and exile herself from the rest of civilization. Except, it was difficult for the other animals there to not notice her flying around and retreating into the highest cliffs. Thus, her grandiose presence manifested negatively into being perceived by the other creatures as a "creature of vanity". It never really helped that our owl only did this at night, not to hunt, instead, to get her daily exercise in. Besides, what most didn't understand about her was that she was mainly a scavenger; to her, this lifestyle was more ethical. With so much free time on her hands, she's become known for her excessive emphasis on her physique. She spreads her wings and soars into the darkness of the night for hours until the night turns into the dawn of the morning when she can finally retreat back into her sweet, but messy, little home between two cliff rocks, that she’s built her "nest-for-one" in. No spouse and no children, she is a true creature of solitude. All she wants is to make the best out of her situation as a bachelorette.

OWL PROJECT X
IT WAS A DELIRIOUS DREAM The world passed me by , no hello no goodbye, I lay there on the ground not making any sound, It was surreal are my dreams real ? Nothing as it truly seems But I felt it was all so real, I remember every detail, It was a rather busy street, I was being surrounded by feet, running past not seeing me, I was invisible as can be. In that moment my reality it was as bizarre as can be, As when I finally awoke my hair smelt of car smoke.

Owl Rock. Runner-Up in Return of the Night Owl Challenge.
The night the town burned down we were thirteen. Shireen, Marta, Anna and I had all spent the night at my house. After my parents, who slept like corpses and retired each night promptly at nine, had reminded us to turn off all the lights and get to bed at a “sensible hour,” we gathered our supplies and headed out the front door toward Owl Rock.

Crazy Owls
I came upon a house I had just inherited from an old family member that I didn't even know. I looked around and saw a very old barn that looks like it hasn't been touched in years. I hesitated on walking towards the old bard but I kept hearing a strange noise coming from it I couldn't figure out what it was. I looked around and at first I didn't see anything but I had to find out what was making the noise.

Emtrapment
Note: This Novel will be completed over time. I will post it every week when I update it. Part one: Pure ~Jorgeana~ "Why is it so dang cold out here" I murmured to myself as I made my way through the dense forest. I was hoping I was near my grandparents house by now. My body was hurting from top to bottom at this point. I just had to decide to take the four hour trake instead of waiting for another cab. I was in great shape, but I was not in the type cloths to be hiking.

In Vino Victoria
What she could have said, given a flash of inspiration — what Acacia might have wished she had said — was something along the lines of: “Give me the unusual, bartender.” Not merely to distinguish herself by not citing a moth-eaten cliché, but because she needed to wander off the marked trail on that warm spring evening in Denver, Colorado.
