A Winter Holiday A Winter Holiday By Megan Cutler | March 25, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment “Our ancestors used to believe that the Sun disappeared forever on the night of the Winter Solstice, never to return.” Rather than watch her mother’s animated face as she told the familiar tale, Morulin focused on her twin brothers. It would be their first time participating in the Yule ritual and they had been squirming … Read More Read More
Coming Soon – Sea of Twisted Souls Coming Soon – Sea of Twisted Souls By Megan Cutler | March 21, 2016 | Comments 1 comment On April 10th, my husband and I will be attending an Iron Maiden concert. (What!) It’s the first time we’ve bought big tickets for ourselves. Technically it’s to make up for all the anniversaries we’ve missed while moving (even though it’s nowhere near our anniversary), but for me it feels like the reward for something … Read More Read More
Shallow Breath Shallow Breath By Megan Cutler | March 18, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Elian woke to a tangle of blankets and a flurry of shallow breaths. He knew better than to panic; if there were danger present, he would only offer an opportunity to attack. So he forced himself to lay still, gritting his teeth while his heart pounded in his chest, in his throat, in his ears. … Read More Read More
Cardiff Castle; an Interesting Journey Through Time Cardiff Castle; an Interesting Journey Through Time By Megan Cutler | March 14, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Our final trip in the UK was to Cardiff, because we simply couldn’t leave without seeing Wales. There are lots of amazing castles and landscapes in Wales that, sadly, we weren’t able to visit due to our transportation limits. But we did see many interesting things during our trip to Cardiff. Our first stop was, … Read More Read More
There are Things You Can’t Escape There are Things You Can’t Escape By Megan Cutler | March 11, 2016 | Comments 3 comments Adelle had never conceived of a building as vast as the Imperial Palace. You could stack ten tall men on each other’s shoulders and still the top figure would not be able to reach the vaulted ceilings. Rather than power, it invoked a sense of isolation. It was much like the void her cozy ship … Read More Read More
People Buy Houses for Weird Reasons People Buy Houses for Weird Reasons By Megan Cutler | March 7, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment On Christmas vacation we watched a lot of HGTV. My mother-in-law is particularly fond of shows like House Hunters, where couples are presented with three houses that suit their purchasing desires and choose which they want to buy. Presumably they look at more houses off camera, but that’s the scope of the show. Personally, I … Read More Read More
First Snowfall of the Year First Snowfall of the Year By Megan Cutler | March 4, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Silkfoot pressed his nose to the window. His reflection crinkled his nose at the fat white flakes drifting from the sky while his breath formed a white haze across the glass. Fluffy white piles clung to every rooftop and doorstep in the city. Those brave enough to venture out had already begun the process of … Read More Read More
Rose; An Introduction Rose; An Introduction By Megan Cutler | February 29, 2016 | Comments 11 comments A long time ago, I had an idea. It wasn’t a very good idea, but it was one of my first so I’m quite fond of it. The idea revolved around a princess whose family and planet were caught up in a terrible war they didn’t know how to fight. So the princess ran away … Read More Read More
Very Few are Left Very Few are Left By Megan Cutler | February 26, 2016 | Comments 2 comments He’d never been one for shadowy organizations, backroom meetings or hiding beneath the cowl of a cloak. Yet he seemed to live his life by it these days. Granted, showing his face near a patch of civilization was a veritable death sentence, but all the slinking still felt strange. He was no strange to stealth, … Read More Read More
Saying Farewell Saying Farewell By Megan Cutler | February 22, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment The British Museum is huge. You’d probably have to live in London to see the whole thing. Even then, I wonder if anyone ever feels like they saw everything the museum has to offer. We were members for just shy a year and we tried to see as much as we could in the time … Read More Read More
