Last night, my wife showed me Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Ian Fleming wrote that (Truly Scrumptious is a Bond girl). It was a hell of a movie. Early on, Dick Van Dyke, a crazed inventor, is trying to make money so he can buy his children a broken car. So he goes around town tryingContinue reading “Creator Journals 4/26/25”

Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P5 of 5)
Chapter 5 “Doesn’t this defeat the whole purpose of your little charade?” I said, squeezing my snow-coat around me tightly, “Your religious holiday game was supposed to kill time while we waited for the storm to pass.” Now we were standing in the cursed weather. Everything was pointless. Fortunately, the weather had died down aContinue reading “Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P5 of 5)”
Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P4 of 5)
Chapter 4 Candles stood at every table, turning the darkness to a warm dimness and marking that dimness with a score of yellow stars. It was a minor decorative change, but it made a big difference. One of my companions must have spoken to the denizens of this storm sealed cavern, or maybe Sareash hadContinue reading “Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P4 of 5)”
Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P3 of 5)
Chapter 3 -Edreimlecheth I had a familiar sinking feeling in my chest, salted with just a hint of burgeoning rage. I was alone now. Sareash and the rest had all left me here alone in this place. It stunk of tree needles. “Happy holiday.” I said to myself, loud enough to get a side-eye fromContinue reading “Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P3 of 5)”
Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P2 of 5)
Chapter 2 -Trog The sign above the inn said “The Green Scorpion”. I was the first one inside. It smelled like mead and dried leaves. I didn’t hate the smell, but didn’t love it either. It was dimly lit. The staff hadn’t lit up the night torches, but the clouds and the snow blocked outContinue reading “Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P2 of 5)”
Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P1 of 5)
This is a holiday vignette set in the world of The Kingdom’s Disdain. It takes place between the events of The Nature of the Beast and the upcoming novel Hounds of Ruin. It’s just a little slice-of-life segment I pieced together. I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it! Happy holidays, whether you areContinue reading “Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P1 of 5)”
WD 223 “Purgatory”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Purgatory I have become the edge of the knife The corner of the eye Where the tear collects and remains Stagnant The blush of the wind as it carries red pedals in its monstrous throat Compassion for The Enemy But would you suffer him if he Continue reading “WD 223 “Purgatory””
WD 222 “A Diagram”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. A Diagram I close like The petals of a flower Come in to meet me and hide in my dark All the stages of grief can be felt and once As we slide down the stem In lightless peace and horror What I am is NoContinue reading “WD 222 “A Diagram””
WD 221 “Claude Frollo”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Claude Frollo Say what you mean to me My particles are rippling with the burden of anticipation And antiseptic creams that wash out infections You’re covered in them, blistering beasts of unmatched ferocity The sun sets on you when you like And you’re back to letContinue reading “WD 221 “Claude Frollo””
WD 220 “Eclipse”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Eclipse Built up like a jackhammer The sun creeps across an onyx floor Gagging the call for restraint Luna is swallowed up in the jaws of A hungry wolf Trust no one, lest they trust in you For surely, a righteous man once walked here TheContinue reading “WD 220 “Eclipse””
