Chapter
Part II
Part II begins with the narrator’s relentless desire to solve a riddle that, to most, would seem comically insignificant—finding the mind behind the verses tucked in holiday crackers. But for him, it’s no small matter. Elvira, the object of his admiration, adores these tiny poetic quips, and so winning her heart depends on uncovering their mysterious origin. He seeks out well-known literary figures, hoping one might confess authorship. First, he approaches the revered Henry Wadsworth, then Alfred…-

The Pleiades
The Pleiades appear early in the night sky, clustered like small glowing eyes that peer gently through the darkness. There is a quiet intimacy in the way they emerge—not as distant, unreachable stars, but as close companions of the imagination. To a child lying awake, the stars become a playground of myths and dreams, delicate enough to be mistaken for toys left behind by angels or drifting sparks from some forgotten celestial forge. Their faint light doesn't blind but comforts, as if reminding us that…-

Ballad: The Martinet
The Martinet introduces a stark contrast in leadership through the fate of the ship MANTELPIECE, first under the joyful command of Captain Reece, then under the stern grip of Sir Berkely. Reece, though unconventional, prioritized harmony and well-being, allowing his crew certain freedoms that made their lives at sea unusually pleasant. He governed with light rules and open ears, earning not only the affection of his sailors but their loyalty. His dismissal, viewed as bureaucratic nonsense, removed a leader…-

VERSE: My Will
My Will begins not with possessions, but with presence—the kind of presence that lingers even after parting. The speaker, without land or riches to leave behind, chooses instead to pass on pieces of their spirit. These are not grand inheritances of gold, but memories, encouragement, and affection sculpted by time and care. Each recipient is offered something deeply personal: a name carried with tenderness, a task that echoes shared conviction, or a love untouched by bitterness. These gifts are quiet, yet…-

Chapter
Cyrus Shams
The chapter opens with Cyrus Shams, a disheveled and drug-addled young man, lying in his squalid Indiana apartment, desperately seeking a sign from God. After years of silence, he interprets a flickering light bulb as a potential divine message, though he questions whether it’s a miracle or just faulty wiring. Cyrus reflects on the unfairness of biblical figures like Muhammad and Saul, who received unambiguous revelations, while he is left grasping for clarity. His longing for a tangible connection with…-

Chapter Thirty-one
The chapter opens with the narrator reflecting on their first experience with death, which they missed entirely, leaving them with unresolved grief. This time, they aim to confront their own mortality head-on through their final art installation, *Death-Speak*, which serves as a literal and metaphorical presence in the face of death. The narrator contrasts their experience with Leila, who may have found clarity in death, while they remain burdened by the weight of living. The installation becomes a way to…-

BOOK I
Book I opens with urgency as the companions of Heracles surge out from the gates of the city, each one stirred by the disappearance of the youthful Hylas. The crowd does not pause—neither elder nor youth stays behind—so strong is their drive to find the missing boy. Their journey leads them to Artacia, a spring known to the Mysians for its clear water gushing from the stone, a place both beautiful and mysterious. It is here that fate appears to intersect with myth, for searchers speak of nymphs seen…-

Memory
Memory has a way of arriving uninvited, stirred by the smallest scene—a child’s laughter, a familiar glance, the shape of a smile. While walking one afternoon, the narrator encounters a young boy at play, whose cheerful noise echoes the past like a song half-remembered. The boy’s resemblance to a son once held close is so striking it jolts the narrator into a vivid reverie, where long-forgotten days return as clear as yesterday. That single moment unfolds years of tenderness, joy, and the deep ache…-

VERSE: GIVE ME THY HEART
Give Me Thy Heart begins not in grand ritual but in the soft quiet that follows—a silence filled with questions, weight, and unseen grace. As the last of the congregation faded into the night, the dimmed church stood like a vessel of waiting. There, knelt in the shadows, a woman remained alone, wrapped not in robes but in reflection. Her lips moved in prayer, not rehearsed but real—pleas born from fatigue, effort, and aching honesty. She had given so much already: her time, her comfort, her joy in…-

-
A Discontented Sugar Broker is a tale that humorously examines how even the most successful lives can be marred by private dissatisfaction. The broker, a respected and financially secure man, enjoys every outward mark of stability—his business thrives, his staff is loyal, and his home life remains orderly and untroubled. Yet, despite these comforts, he considers himself deeply unlucky because of his large size. It is not health alone that concerns him, but the feeling of heaviness that overshadows his…
