With practiced fingers she adjusted the needle before pressing her foot to the pedal. Only for a moment, she wasn’t going far. Tiny stitches closed a tiny hole, her patient unaware anything had ever been amiss. The … Read More Read More
The Meaning of Privacy The Meaning of Privacy By Megan Cutler | August 17, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment When I was young, we never imagined a camera in every phone. We hadn’t even realized you’d be able to use portable CD players the same way you used a walkman cassette player and, in fact, cameras still required film. Oh boy, I’m dating myself! What a fantastic and novel concept, a portable database of … Read More Read More
A Small Mound of Stones A Small Mound of Stones By Megan Cutler | August 14, 2015 | Comments 4 comments Holding the image of safety in her mind, Morulin lit the candle and upended the contents of a small velvet pouch on the table, leaving a small mound of stones.

World Building Basics World Building Basics By Megan Cutler | August 10, 2015 | Comments 2 comments World building is a topic to which entire books have been devoted.

Highlights Highlights By Megan Cutler | August 3, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment When we finished our tour of the British Museum Enlightenment gallery, a mini museum of its own, we headed toward a special exhibit centred around the Vikings. I wasn’t fond of the way the British Museum laid out their special exhibits. It seemed random and lacklustre compared to a place like the ROM, which tends … Read More Read More
She Studied her Face in the Mirror She Studied her Face in the Mirror By Megan Cutler | July 31, 2015 | Comments 6 comments Who should I be tonight? The bright light stung her eyes as she settled in front of the vanity mirror. Pale blue eyes stared back at her.

It’s All Connected It’s All Connected By Megan Cutler | July 27, 2015 | Comments 2 comments About a year ago I discovered Yoga. I had just suffered a month of major upheaval. It was though I forgot how to sleep. I would lay in bed until 5AM, then finally drift off for three our four hours.

The Mystery of the Ogopogo The Mystery of the Ogopogo By Megan Cutler | July 20, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment Did you know the Loch Ness monster has a little brother?
