The Horrible Events of This Night October 30, 2009

”I take my pen in hand to record for all Posterity the Horrible Events of this Night, the thirty-first Day of the tenth Month, the Day they call All Hallow’s Eve…” Henry stopped, put his tired head in his hands, and rocked gently from side to side. He took a look at the few words [...]

Heavens to Murgatroyd – Part 3 April 14, 2009

Cosmo generally slept in a little bit in the mornings, and I liked to use this dragon-free time to indulge myself with dyeing wool and spinning yarn. The activity centered me and focused me for the day, and I always looked forward to my hour or so first thing in the morning. This morning was no [...]

Heavens to Murgatroyd – Part 2 April 9, 2009

I told Cosmo about his cousin’s impending visit and he proceeded to bounce around the house for the rest of the day. Cosmo remembered his cousin vaguely and was really excited about the visit. At least the bouncing was a change from the sulking and boredom. Cosmo brought out all of this things to see [...]

Heavens to Murgatroyd – a Cosmo the Dragon Story – Part 1 April 3, 2009

The winter was really dragging on and Cosmo was getting cabin fever. So was I, for that matter. No matter how much I love winter and the excuse to curl up with a book or my knitting or spinning, by spring, I’m ready for spring. I wanted to head out into the woods around our [...]

A Final Sort of Healing March 10, 2009

This is different from my usual work. A streak of neon green from the sign of the bar across the street flashed briefly and repeatedly in the puddles of the alley. Then night was dark; the rain of earlier in the evening had ended, leaving the sky clear of any light-reflecting clouds and the chill air [...]

Ghost Ship Part 2 January 12, 2009

As I sat there gawping, a grappling hook winged down from the ship above me and hooked under one of my dory’s seats. Another one came down and hooked under a seat at the other end of the boat. Then, with my boat held fast, the ship above me sent down a rope ladder. I [...]

Ghost Ship Part 1 January 11, 2009

Folks in the village were talking about it all the time lately. One old codger claimed to have seen the ghost ship in the harbor, just a few nights ago, with its tattered, blackened sails fluttering in the winter wind and St. Elmo’s fire hanging from what was left of her rigging. Folks said that [...]

Not Quite Fishing January 7, 2009

This story appears on another one of my blogs under a different title- upon reflection, I wasn’t quite satisfied with the title, but the links were in place already, so I left it that way in that blog. I shut the screen door quietly behind me; letting it bang shut like the children did would wake [...]

Christmas With Cosmo December 23, 2008

I put down my knitting and looked up just in time to see Cosmo glide into the room with a set of paper antlers on his head and a blob of red clay attached to his scaly red snout. “Look at me! I’m Rudolf!” he squealed as he crash-landed on the floor beside me. We had been [...]

Just Like Clockwork November 17, 2008

As a child, I loved the Wizard of Oz books, by L. Frank Baum. The clockwork man Tik-Tok, who is a character in the later books, always fascinated me. So I wondered what would happen if the idea of clockwork interested someone else, someone with a few more skills and some mad-scientist capabilties…. Bits and pieces of clockwork. They were [...]
