Here and Gone 

By Bel

The sun was bright and overhead.  A woman walking along a path towards him was slowly coming into focus.  

The old man closed his eyes for a moment and rubbed them slowly.  As he opened them, he looked around, adjusting a blanket on his lap.  Benches, trees, stones and paths: this was a park.  Looking closer at the stone in front of him he recognized the markings on its smooth face.  Carved into the centre of the stone’s surface was a large oak tree with a wolf sleeping contently at its base.  The roots of the tree continued down, beneath the imagined ground, forming two boxes, one on the left and one on the right.  The left box had a name and two dates, the right, a name and one.  The left name was his wife’s; the right, his.  He realized where he was.  It was the afternoon and he was in a graveyard.  He was visiting his wife.

(Cave of Wonders)

By Tim Knight

Ike and Roger are bums. By their modest standards very LUCKY bums- for they have stumbled upon a place to live---rent-free and relatively unharrassed---a stone's throw from the beach in beautiful south Orange County. Surely such a sweet deal can't last ........

The Glaistig

By

Daughter of Theon

Pain was part of life, he knew that and for so many years he had accepted the pain.   Now though it was different.  It wasn’t that the pain was any greater; he just felt that same pain a little bit more.  Before she left he could have endured anything, in their fifty-three years together she had given him his strength, now she was gone, as was his strength and his will to endure.

The exciting conclusion! Our two "retired circus midgets" are outed as the runaway children they actually are, and leave for Florida with an unwanted and rather sinister travelling companion. At the airport things really start to go south. But will our heroes? [Again, certain elements may not be suitable for younger readers and PARENTAL DISCRETION IS ADVISED...]

The Flying Babalooskis

~~ A Fantasy of Three Parts ~~

 by Laika Pupkino

Mr. and Mrs. Babalooskis---children disguised as retired European circus midgets---meet the neighbors and are thrown a housewarming party that gets a bit out of hand. While this was written as a work of Juvenile Fiction, PART II's depiction of irresponsible lowlife behavior, drug use (far from glamorized), and underage drinking (semi-accidental) may not be suitable for some kids. PARENTAL DISCRETION IS ADVISED...

Nine year old O.Z. and his best friend Jade find some money and run away from home together. When they discover that they risk being apprehended by adult authorities at every turn, they adopt some rather audacious disguises. And then things get really weird...
