    In Oasis Springs, ever since the late 1950s, the house at 415 Mariposa Way has belonged to the Mills family. George Mills bought it in 1958 with his wife Margaret, who was then pregnant with their son Alan. Alan married his girlfriend Molly Chester in 1979 after what many saw as a hasty relationship –…

  • A Wedding, Interrupted

    “And, by my charge and blood as the Sage Practical, I do sever from me the Bride, Nayeli Thao, and all child yet born of her.” Simeon Silversweater looks over at his fellow Sage, Morgyn, as he finishes his line.

  • Better Letter

    I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to make you write out a whole letter. I thought that since I was “meeting” you I should be formal. I guess I was wrong. Let’s start over. Hi! I’m Tanvi. You don’t have to write any more paper letters if you don’t want to. My eyeballs did not…

  • Smoke

    “We’re heading out now!” yelled Mortimer from the front room, interrupting Cassandra’s reverie. “It’s parent’s day, so we won’t be back until six.” Cassandra closed her diary. Alexander had joined a summer drama club, and returned daily with new stories of silly improv games and behind-the-scenes mishaps. She tuned most of them out, but Mortimer…

  • Rowan’s Promise

    I grew up in Evergreen Harbor, in the area surrounding Port Promise. All my life, I wondered why they would name it something so beautiful. So hopeful. Port Promise, as anyone could have told you, was the place where beauty and hope went to die. I was seventeen and homeless, at the end of a…

  • Starting Over

    In the small town of Glimmerbrook, five hours north of Granite Falls, there is a house on Creekshine Way with a history longer than a chain email’s subject line. If walls had ears, these walls would have heard enough life stories to fill a library – but right now, all they would hear is the…

  • Hindsight

    Hello, friends! Oh, sorry. This is me. Xan. Xaneathmar. The author of this blog. Not a character. Sorry. This is not going to be a story post. This is going to be a post about Important Things. The past, the present, the future, the furby illuminati – well, not that last one. You see, it’s…
