Fiction

The King of Dogs or Dog Days and Wolf Nights by Chantal Beaulne

I’ve never named a country before, or a street, or even a baby. But it couldn’t have been as hard as it was to name my dog. If a country gets a stupid name it can always have a revolution, streets can be named after numbers, and babies can always grow up to become someone so notorious everyone dreads to speak their name and instead come up with a dozen different euphemisms.

For the Plight of Its Children by C.R. Esaryk

Thomas wasn’t always a monster. He used to be innocent, I swear on the world. I remember his big cheek smiles, and...tippytoe walker, scared about crushing ants. It was on his birthday of seven when things began to change.

Snow's Daughter by Vanessa Fogg

Far to the north, the Snow Queen’s palace rose from a featureless plain: ramparts of snow half a hundred feet thick, gleaming domes of translucent ice, soaring towers and hidden tunnels that curved endlessly under the snow. Within, all was silent and still.
