High in the saddle of his black stallion, the tall, muscular man sat quietly enjoying the serenity of the landscape. Two songbirds, hidden on a branch of a bent and twisted, aged oak, warbled twitters in refrain as luscious green blades of buffalo grass swayed in a gentle breeze in the warmth of the autumn sun.

As is much of history, it's disturbing how love between two males is considered an unforgivable sin, yet the idea of a human turning into a wolf and consuming a child’s flesh can be forgiven. A story well told.

Milk slices look like ice cream sandwiches, yum. If those are, I’m curious how she keeps them from melting at school.

Schadenfreude is providing such magnificent glimpses into the window of life shared by Liam and Rick. Poor Liam, so resistant to the birds and bees’ talk. 😄

What a beautiful tribute.

Boundaries can be such a beautiful thing when actually established, that is. In-laws should not have keys unless they call first, and even then, well, don’t freak folks unless you’re expected. *shivers in terror*

I can picture you in a muscle car, the world at large is relieved you are so young. 🤣

Far too young to have experienced the muscle cars of old. Missing those days on the drag.

Curing Humanity is a unique story that looks at both preserving and reclaiming one’s humanity. Will the benefits prove to be greater than the costs?

Ugh, that line had me tied in knots!

The disappearance of Wren’s father is way too suspicious. Does anyone else suspect his brothers? They are, after all, nasty enough. Seriously, the only one with a heart would abandon his family? Nah, don't believe it for a second.

Oh tim, I’m so sorry you’re having such a tough time. It’s exhausting trying to explain to others the tiredness that comes with depression. Even others with milder forms don’t get it. Sending with this is a warm, gentle hug, wishes for relief, and brighter days. There are so many of us who fight this battle. Just reading your words brought a breath of relief, knowing someone understands that kind of tiredness.
