"The Dungeon"

by BGW

"The Log"

Every day I look outside my window and notice a sturdy log lying on the ground and think to myself, ‘I wish I could be like that log’. It remains unchanged in an ever-changing environment. It can withstand all kinds of storms. It would...

"The Fighter"

"The Encounter"

It was a typical day around the farm. I was mending the fences when I noticed a man riding towards me. His horse was as white as the snow. He was a rugged looking dude with short, coarse hair and with scruff on his face. He had a magnifice...

"The Past Love"

by BGW

Hey, why haven’t you been spending time with me lately? I can remember when you first laid eyes on me: You couldn’t keep them off of me. All day and night, you watched and studied me. You couldn’t leave my side. I used to hear you ta...
