Living
Living begins not with celebration, but with quiet questioning. It asks what it means to live fully when one hasn’t built monuments or left behind famous words. The narrator wonders whether a life with no great deeds is still worth something. There’s no shame in not being widely known, the poem implies, as long as something good was done. To have lived with purpose, even briefly, carries weight. When a person gives their best effort to something greater than themselves, that becomes their…-

Ballad: Gregory Parable, LL.D.
Gregory Parable, LL.D. lived in a thatched cottage that looked as though it had been plucked from the page of an illustrated countryside fable. Tucked between ivy-covered hedgerows and the hum of bees, the modest home stood proudly without rot, leaks, or intrusion from time. There, Gregory—a figure of both grandeur and gentleness—spent his days lost in Latin syntax and historical discourse, drifting between Caesar’s conquests and the grammatical precision of Balbus. His books were his companions, and…-

In this chapter titled Nightmare: A Tale for an Autumn Evening, the scene unfurls not with quiet suspense but with wild momentum, as a windswept street transforms into a theater of chaos and absurdity. The setting is no ordinary night—it is a blustery autumn evening charged with movement, sound, and the comic struggle of one man trying to reach the comfort of home. Mr. Spruggins, slightly off balance from the indulgence of a rich dinner and wine, finds himself tossed and spun by a wind that behaves less…-

Just Folks
Just Folks begins with a portrait of a town that thrives not on noise, but on kindness. In this place, people are not judged by wealth or status, but by their decency and spirit. Neighbors greet one another with sincerity, and conversations lift hearts rather than weigh them down. Gossip finds no ground here because it is met with silence or replaced by praise. The people value cheer over cynicism, and they live by the principle that it is better to build others up than to tear them down. It's not a…-
