The Wishing Well Pt. 4

The Wishing Well

Part 4 of 4

Part One :: Part Two :: Part Three :: Part Four

The story, at least for now, draws to a close. I will return to Gwen and the many questions this story has left unanswered but only after I have arrived at them myself. For the moment, enjoy the conclusion to "The Wishing Well".

The Wishing Well Pt. 3

The Wishing Well

Part 3 of 4

Part One :: Part Two :: Part Three :: Part Four

The third installment of my ongoing work-in-progress, "The Wishing Well" Trouble is stirring in Gwen's hometown. The cause seems to  be some big secret the older folks are keeping to themselves. A not-such-a-stranger after all shows up with warnings and answers.

Note: Hopefully, the parts that come after this will begin to reflect what I have learned so far from the feedback on this and other pieces. Also, the first person to guess correctly the identity of the stranger gets to make a writing request. :)

The Wishing Well Pt. 2

The Wishing Well

Part 2 of 4

Part One :: Part Two :: Part Three :: Part Four

The second part to my take on The Wishing Well. Gwen begins to suspect that not all is well in her sheltered world. This was written prior to feedback on the first part. Improvements will begin starting with part 4.

Rewrite #1: The Price

The Price

A snapshot, Rewrite #1

The Original

What leads a person down the path of evil? Perhaps, it starts with something small and spirals further and further away from the path of morality. Sometimes, the bad guys start out as good. Keep this in mind before you condemn this character into the bowels of hell. I know it's hard. Let me know what you think and if you've read them both, which version you like better.

We've all heard of the wishing well even if not all of us believe in its magic but in another world, a heartbroken magic-user makes one in hopes of having the hardships that the world had thrown at him undone.

Note: This story is taking too long for me to complete so I'm going to begin posting it in parts. As always, feedback is appreciated! Let me know what you think, either here or on my writer's page on facebook.

The Price

The Price

A snapshot

This is a standalone piece that isn't for the lighthearted. What price would you pay for freedom and eternal life? What would you destroy? What horror would you commit? When would it become so easy that you'd hardly call it a price to be paid? Would you lose everything you are and should be just to live a little longer in your illusion of freedom? Would you care if you did? Enjoy, or throw up depending on what kind of person you are. Hate it? Love it? Let me know.

The Oldest Egg

The Oldest Egg

A short story

Companion piece to: The Foundling

There is a rather curious thing in the oldest hatching grounds. An egg that never hatched yet did not go rancid and did not show any other signs of decay. Young dragons, once they leave the nest, often go upon learning of it to see the curiosity for themselves. Rumors circulate that it can even grant wishes and the lure of having their dreams made true draws those that would not otherwise be interested.
