Walking through your head.

My friends in the city often regurgitated rumors about whatever the oddity of the week was. I’d hear about men with lizard tongues and scales, people whose eyes could strike fear into anyone who saw them, and a singer with tattoos that moved like snakes. The latter I was actually able to contribute to the…

As the couple pulled up to the restaurant, the tension in the air intensified. They had been planning to meet with the man’s parents for a few weeks now, and during that time he only grew more nervous over how it would go. As he put the car in park, she put a hand on…

I’ve mentioned before that to stay afloat between detective work that I’ve needed to take on some odd jobs. One of said jobs a year or so back sticks out in particular. In an especially dry spell for cases I found myself working, not as Aurelia Walker, but as Aurelia Dog-Walker. When you’re a dog…

Accusing others of being fae is wrong and has always been wrong. It’s the same as it was during the Red Scare here in the US. What people need to understand is that we cannot function as a society if we keep pointing fingers at each other over something that ultimately doesn’t matter. Obviously if…

Back in Wisconsin before my parents separated they had me join a kids soccer team. I’d say they ‘made me’ but I enjoyed it for the most part. The only thing that ever caused problems was at the end when we had to go to the other team to congratulate them. We would line up…

When I was first coming into my magic, my parents didn’t do the best job of supporting me. They’ve made mistakes and have both apologized since, but it still makes me sad to think about sometimes. My grandpa was different though. He was kind and accepting from the start. When my parents told him they…

A man woke up early this morning, excited to be taking his baby to the park for the first time today. As he carefully dressed the baby in his tiny blue overalls and a cute little cap, he couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the fun they would have together. He knew that…

He stood outside the restaurant, flowers in hand, purchased from a street vendor several blocks back. It was rainy, and it was cold, but that didn’t matter. He knew that he was stepping through this door into the rest of his life. At least, he hoped. After a moment that felt like forever, he took…

I came to college to be educated. I want to spend my life building things, and I’ve come too far to risk throwing that away for this “college experience” that everyone seems to want so badly. I don’t have many friends, and most of the time that doesn’t bother me. But tonight… Tonight is a…

I’ve been working with some clients of mine for quite some time (or, at least, what feels like quite some time) and because of that, there’s a lot that I know about them. They’ve all given me permission to share their stories, so long as I keep their identities a secret, so be on the…
