Sitting in the damp, darkened room Saran shivered in the light grey shift dress. Her day had come, and fear knotted in the pit of her stomach. What if she could not do what was expected of her, what if she was a disappointment to him? She knew the honour that was being bestowed upon [...]
Have you ever wondered where fairies get their fairy dust? Lilly and Boris are about to find out exactly where fairy dust comes from…the hard way of course! Boris has flown too fast and tumbles to the forest floor, where he injures his ankle and bends his wing. Meanwhile, the fairy dorm monitor realizes the naughty little fairies are missing and organizes a search party. Once the two are escorted safely back home, Boris is admitted into the infirmary and Lilly put to bed. There are always consequences to action, and in the mushroom patch this is true too. Lilly and Boris are sent to the secluded factory, learning first hand just how hard the colony works as a team to produce the precious commodity they have so often taken for granted. They laugh, they learn, and above all value the dust and vow never to waste or be so careless with it again. Mischief in the Mushroom Patch by Amanda M. Thrasher (Barnes & Noble, Ft. Worth, TX area, or barnesandnoble.com, amazon).
A Chapter from “After 2012″ Early one morning when a fog began to evaporate revealing ever more detail in the scene below, Diane crouched by a large tree at the crest of a hill and strained her eyes for any movement in the thinning mist. Their water had run out and she could just see [...]
A Chapter from “After 2012″ The greatest threat of 2012 was not an astrological alignment, solar flares or a geological catastrophe. Instead, it was man himself. Global nuclear war, instigated by religious fanatical sociopaths, left only scattered pockets of desperate refugees and roaming gangs of thugs. The great societies of the world had fulfilled their [...]
Chapter 8 Staying Human(e) Trisha I waved goodbye to Tyng. I felt very exhausted and the towel never seem to absorb my sweat. The irony of it all was that I’m becoming a vampire (if I believe what Dr. Carlisle said) and it is winter. Winter can be quite boring and this irritates me a [...]
Chapter 7 Looking Back Edmund A month passed by in a flash but it felt like it was yesterday. It appears Trisha and her friends still have the virus in their bloodstream. The virus that caused the fever. Sounds like a sci-fi movie. Tyng didn’t find it funny. She knows something. Caleb knows too but [...]
Chapter 6 Changes Amalina I could not put the book down. “In Finnish folklore’s, aurora is known as revontulet or fox fires. Revontulet are the sparks swept into the atmosphere by the tails of the foxes,” I told my friends after breakfast. “You told us that already,” Ling said. “What about this one? In Latvian [...]
Chapter 5 Revontulet Ling Carlisle and Legolas took our blood samples for testing. I went into panic mode but I was held by Emmett and Esme. Carlisle wanted to send our blood to the nearby laboratory to ensure him that we healed completely. I admit I was suspicious. Anyway, the adults gave their consent for [...]
Chapter 4 Stuck Daphne I was about to sit down on the chair when I saw Tyng leaving the cafe. Trisha stopped Caleb in his tracks. “I’ll talk to her and see what’s wrong,” Trisha said. Caleb turned and said something to Edmund. Both of them came over and sat down. “Write down your orders [...]
Chapter 3 Alaska, the Last Frontier Tyng Caleb asked me to wear the padded jacket. He said it will be very cold in Alaska. After putting on the jacket, I buried my face on his cool shoulder. I was running a fever, thanks to the arm I broke and that I’m flu prone. He asked [...]
