Chapter
Yesterday
Yesterday carries with it a strange authority, a gentle insistence that things were somehow better just a day ago. In golf, this memory shows up often. It hides in the sigh of a missed putt, in the shoulder slump after a slice, and in the words, “I was hitting them straight yesterday.” For a new player like the narrator, it’s difficult to share in that nostalgia because there are no golden days of skill to remember—just lessons still being learned. Yet, while he lacks a glorious golfing past, he is…-

VERSE: THE TWO SPIRITS (1855)
The Two Spirits (1855) opens in the silence of night, a silence not empty but filled with something ancient and weighty. In this hush, two beings meet—embodiments of different eras, each carrying the memory and meaning of their time. One looks backward with pride; the other, forward with reflection. Their exchange is not argumentative but contemplative, like two voices echoing in a cathedral of time. The Spirit of the Past recounts a world defined by unflinching loyalty to honor, where death on the…-

Ballad: King Borria Bungalee Boo
King Borria Bungalee Boo reigned over his kingdom with more appetite than wisdom, ruling not with justice or diplomacy, but with an endless craving that kept his subjects uneasy. His court had once been filled with noblemen and servants, but over time, that number dwindled—not by rebellion or disease, but by digestion. Only four subjects remained by the time hunger overtook him fully, each marked by their personality and their fear of being next on the menu. Among them, Pish-Tush-Pooh-Bah flaunted…-

Ballad: The Two Ogres
The Two Ogres reside deep within the enchanted grove of Wickham Wold, far from the reach of townsfolk and even farther from predictable morality. One, Applebody Bland, views himself as a just force, punishing only children who act badly. The other, James M'Alpine, cloaks his cruelty behind a polished wit, rationalizing his delight in devouring well-behaved children with a twisted logic. Both ogres, though differing in targets, see themselves as upholders of balance in a world too eager to judge by…-

Ballad: Etiquette
Etiquette guides the unusual and ironic survival tale that unfolds in this ballad, where two stranded gentlemen on a remote island let manners dictate their fate. Rather than working together in the face of adversity, they let the absence of a formal introduction keep them apart, highlighting how arbitrary social rules can override basic human instincts. Their division of the island becomes a metaphor for the self-imposed barriers people build, even when common sense urges otherwise. GRAY and SOMERS, each…-

Malmaison
In this chapter titled Malmaison, the scene opens with the estate shimmering under the French sun, its roof catching the light as the Seine glides nearby. Within this idyllic setting, Citoyenne Beauharnais pauses by the gates, weary from her walk and filled with a quiet cynicism. She questions whether the famed roses inside can match their reputation or if, in a time so steeped in blood and upheaval, the guillotine would greet her instead. As the iron gates creak open, her thoughts are interrupted by the…-

Chapter Seventeen: Bhagat Singh
The chapter follows Cyrus Shams on his third day in Brooklyn as he prepares to meet Orkideh at a museum. Eager to connect with her, he brings two coffees—one as a thoughtful gesture—reflecting on the profound yet often overlooked human ability to consider others' lives. This moment of simple kindness strikes him as miraculous, though he also questions whether his self-satisfaction reveals deeper narcissism. His internal monologue oscillates between wonder at human connection and self-criticism over…-

The Boy Soldier
The Boy Soldier begins with a warm and familiar scene—an energetic child no older than three, wrapped in laughter and curiosity, engaging in pretend battle with the most accessible “enemy” he knows: his father. In his tiny hands, a beard becomes a rope to pull, buttons become targets to poke, and a watch becomes the prize he proudly claims. These harmless skirmishes are not fought with anger but with love, as the child’s playful assaults are absorbed with joy. The father, although seemingly under…-

Ballad: Sir Guy The Crusader
Sir Guy The Crusader begins with a portrait of a powerful warrior shaped by battle, celebrated for his loyalty to Richard the Lionheart and for his ferocity in campaigns across distant lands. He was not merely a knight of muscle but also a man of impulsive feeling, drawn into matters of the heart with as much force as he entered the fray of war. This duality—the hero in armor and the man swept by emotion—drives the narrative as he encounters a woman whose beauty transcends borders and allegiances.…-
