The Parable of the Rock


The rock lay suspended in his home of dirt and roots from the grasses above. He wondered when it would rain again. He loved it when it rained. The droplets would run over his form and tickle as they descended into the depths of the earth.  More >

by Marissa A Spencer

The woman stood before her, naked except for the folding sheer wings that wrapped around her. Her eyes were lit with an unearthly light and glowed in the dimness.

She slowly rises and wipes the black gooey mud onto a nearby rock. The old man leads his herd to a protected spot between some huge boulders and overhanging trees. Moira takes his distraction as an opportunity to get further ahead and find a quiet place to camp. She surely did not want to listen to grunting hedgehogs all night long.  More >

Looking around cautiously, Moira gets slowly out of the now still water. Her clothes are dry and the temperature is quite warm now. She puts on her clothes and is just about done putting her attire together when she hears a distant cry.  More >

She stands there gaping at the empty place where the little man stood. Putting a hand to her forehead, she shields her eyes from the blazing sun.  More >

She takes off her cap and slowly exposes her delicate ears. Both earlobes indeed are pierced and each holds a small red stone.  More >

“I think I went through a time portal. Some small golden dragon dropped this chain with a disc of mithral around my neck, but it fell off when I was falling through the corridor. I have no idea what it was for, but I have a feeling I need it.” She could see his brow furrow and his eyes look faraway.  More >

In a hard thud, she is on her face in the soft forest loam. Spitting dirt from her mouth, she is amazed at her rescue from almost certain death. As she wipes the soil from her eyes, she spies a pair of small leather bound feet.  More >

The sun was at its apex when the last hoof beat sounded. Shading her eyes, she gazes into the distance. The birdsong softens the anxiety she feels inside.  More >

A moment later, the lights stop spinning and it suddenly gets very bright. She lands hard in a meadow of thick grass. She lies there gasping; the air has been driven from her.  More >

She goes into the dark cottage and wonders how she was able to find those bottles in the darkness of night. No matter. She starts gathering a multitude of stuff in a soft leather pack. Maps, powders, vials and other things are quickly stuffed into the pack.  More >

She turns quickly to see the small lights approaching the edge of the woods. Grabbing the old key she still keeps in an inside pocket, she hurries to find the hidden gate in the ivy-covered stone wall.  More >

Urging her Palomino to cross the bridge took some doing, but they were soon on the other side. Breaking into a trot, they soon came to the thick woods that bordered the castle.  More >

The Parable of the Mimosa and Crabapple

by Marissa A Spencer


There was a beautiful crabapple tree that bloomed in a lovely meadow in a calm, peaceful valley. About ten feet away was a lovely mimosa tree.

Odd Happenings at Coloma

It is lovely in the foothills and we often took a picnic with us and panned for gold in the cold shallow river there. The area is covered with preserved buildings. The blacksmith shop will have someone demonstrating the art from time to time.  More >
