Premium Member Relative Time - A
One day when I was sitting by a bubbling brook a nostalgic scene of my childhood time flashed in the visage of my mind. I saw the sparkling stream that bedecked our house with an ornate garland, glided with glistening liquid pearls of elegance, flowed with the flamboyant facade of silvery splendor. On its rippling...

My loved ones gone visit dreams of cyan fields and pixie cloud skies. Is it a cruel trick of the mind? Or moments, out of space and time; caught in the weft of our corduroy lives; a small gift granted to our past or future selves?...

Premium Member Who Is That
She walked into the family reunion with pink and purple hair. And enough green eye liner to challenge the fur on a boar. Who is that with fake eyelashes? Someone asked me. I turned and recognized her under the spider façade. She is my granddaughter, I told them. Wondering who they were....
