Ballad: The Baby’s Vengeance
The Baby's Vengeance opens with a haunting scene in a grimy corner of Somers Town, where a man named Paley Voltaire, once swaddled in wealth, lies wasted in a rented room. His breath is short, and his gaze flickers with regret, not merely for his failing health, but for the years wasted in indulgence and folly. Paley’s inheritance, once grand, has been consumed by reckless choices—champagne, cards, and companions who disappeared when the gold ran dry. He is advised by a doctor to seek better air in…-

The Captain And The Mermaids presents an unusual yet charming tale from the briny deep, where the admiration of mythical beings meets the vanity of man. Captain Capel Cleggs, known more for his decency than his stature, never anticipated that a simple habit—standing by his ship’s open port with his legs on display—would draw an audience. But there they gathered, the mermaids, lured not by siren songs this time, but by the curious allure of well-formed human legs clad in polished hose. To them, the…

Ballad: An Unfortunate Likeness

The struggle isn't in his technique but in finding the right face to mirror the legend. One afternoon, while adjusting a new piece for exhibition, his gaze locks on a man…-

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…-

Ballad: The Modest Couple
The Modest Couple introduces Peter and Sarah, two individuals whose shyness is so exaggerated that even their most basic social interactions seem like trials of endurance. From the moment they are betrothed as infants, their behavior is shaped by a kind of innocence so intense it borders on absurdity. When formally introduced, both faint, overcome by the sheer impropriety of eye contact. Peter’s father, the Baron, attempts to foster familiarity by encouraging hand-holding or brief conversation, but these…-
