Cardinal Directions North:
Happily ever after begins.
A medieval fantasy faire, alive
with carousel music, roundabout a sword
yet resting in a stone.
Never grow up,
don't take apples from strangers,
watch for trains and flying
elephants.
Do you take bread and butterflies
with your tea?

South:
Your attention, please!
Put on your Sunday clothes because
the Penny Arcade lights are flashing,
the opera house plays host to Mr. Lincoln,
and the barbershop quartet is crooning
"Sweet Betsy from Pike."
Summer nights from a golden childhood
that isn't ours, but feels like
it should be.

East:
Tomorrow
is 1986, and the future
has been knocked over

De Vliegende Hollander "Sometimes I wonder if all the watery places in the world are haunted."

I looked up, mildly startled, from the tankard that I had been dreamily staring into. When last I had checked, I had been the only one about; the common room of the Cutty Shark tavern had been dark and empty, the innkeeper having long ago retired for the night and my only company being the muted sound of rain hitting the shingled roof. But I was no longer alone.

Into the dying lamplight, from the direction for the front door, came the speaker. He looked to be an old salt, dressed in oilskins to keep off the weather. The way he hobbled up to the bar, hood pulled up so asDe Vliegende Hollander by ~CrackedMack

Clank Creak, creak...Urgh. Nearly...Squeak! Rattle. Snap!

Ahh. That is better. Dost thou curious soul now hear my voice? Verily, my attempts at speaking have at last come to fruition, and I may at last speak for myself.

Perhaps thou art frightened by my appearance, good sir or madam? Forgive me, for the gloom doth obstruct my vision of thee, and I cannot address thee with the proper decorum that I would like. Thou hast chanced upon what seems to be a curious geist; forsooth, though mine shape might intimidate thou, I am a chivalrous soul wrapped in a daunting visage, and thou will undoubtedly find worse troubles if thou wander further yet into thClank by ~CrackedMack

Expedition Letters to Grace Dear Grace,

You told me, back when we were visiting Peru and I was feeling down, that I would eventually find my calling in life. I write to you now to tell you, quite happily, that I have.

I can't explain much about it at the moment, only that my sudden absence from the university is for a reason. As I write, I am currently en route to New York City, to visit their museums and get a taste of the culture. I told you before how I wanted to visit New York while I had the chance, and now I travel with purpose.

I will say now, that while what I am about to do may seem strange to you, even mad, I can promise you that I am of sound mind and am dExpedition Letters to Grace by ~CrackedMack

ANOTHER Daily?

Well! Four days late, and I finally notice that my Expedition Letters story got a DD! I can't thank you all enough for the boost in spirit this has given me, and for all the kind comments I've received! I'll see if I can reply to a few of them, but just in case I don't, here's a big general shout-out to everyone! I am incredibly grateful.

You have a wonderful collection of short stories, I'm looking forward to reading them all! I'm really enjoying what I've seen of your writing so far. :heart:

I made my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies
From heel to throat;
But the fools caught it,
Wore it in the world's eyes
As though they'd wrought it.
Song, let them take it,
For there's more enterprise
In walking naked.

Yeats.

Upon reading all your stories, I must say you have quite a knack for writing. The short stories you have posted so far have a life in them, this breath that only makes them that much more enjoyable to read. I must say, The Fragile was my favorite. Will you be putting up more?

Oh, no doubt. There will be more to come, once I get past some of my shyness here. Thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoyed The Fragile - I had a lot of fun with that one in particular, and still feel like it's my strongest work.

David King. Good luck though, because 5.7 million David Kings on the Book of Faces. I'll send you a message to narrow it down.
