Chapter
VERSE: A LEGEND OF BREGENZ
A Legend of Bregenz begins beneath the silent peaks and beside the still waters of Lake Constance, where time seems to pause and the city breathes in centuries of memory. Bregenz, tucked into its mountain cradle, stands not just as a town but as a living tale—its towers and stonework holding secrets of loyalty etched into legend. When night falls, the city appears unchanged by modern life, cloaked instead in a sacred hush that recalls deeds of devotion long past. It is in this sacred quiet that an old…-

"The Phantom Curate. A Fable" begins not with mystery, but with quiet contradiction. A bishop, known more for his rigid enforcement of discipline than warmth, enforces a near-monastic lifestyle upon his clergy. He believes joy must be curbed, lest it appear improper, and that even harmless diversions could be perceived as lapses in holiness. Under this code, his priests are expected to forgo theater, dancing, music, and the like—not because they are wicked, but because they are worldly. The bishop,…-

Chapter
Ballad: Phrenology
Phrenology appears in this ballad not as a mere scientific curiosity, but as the pivot around which justice, or the lack of it, hilariously turns. The storyline introduces Sir Herbert, who is clearly aggrieved after a physical assault. He expects the machinery of law to respond swiftly and firmly, as any wronged gentleman would. However, the policeman’s surprising devotion to cranial analysis swiftly alters the path of justice. His belief that a man's skull shape can override eyewitness testimony exposes…-

A Roxbury Garden
In this chapter titled A Roxbury Garden, the story opens with laughter echoing down sunlit paths as sisters Minna and Stella dash side by side, hoops rolling ahead like extensions of their glee. The gravel crackles beneath their shoes, and their sashes ripple behind them like banners in a breeze. Each twist and tumble of the hoops sparks new delight, as if the garden itself plays along, blooming brighter under their joy. With every chant—“Go, go, golden ring!”—the game lifts into something more…-

The Little Army
The Little Army begins with an image full of energy and color—young boys and girls playing with all the seriousness of real soldiers, though their battles are imaginary and their weapons made of wood. With paper hats proudly worn and broomsticks clutched like rifles, they march to rhythms tapped out on tin cans and toy drums. Their faces glow with joy, their eyes lit by dreams, not yet shadowed by the weight of the world. Each step they take, each shout and cheer, builds a world where fear does not…-

The Three Kings of Chickeraboo sets a delightful stage for examining satire through absurdity. With vivid imagination, the tale follows three eccentric men who crown themselves kings without a shred of formality or ancestral claim. The story begins on a sweltering day, with PACIFICO, BANG-BANG, and POPCHOP whimsically deciding that royalty is a matter of declaration, not lineage. Instead of palaces, each man selects a barrel as his throne, establishing kingdoms beside the sea with equal parts ambition and…
