Mirror, Mirror.

 
Some ideas are undercurrents in our collective unconscious.

Like an underground river we all slip-and-slide through while we dream our days away.  Like The Goonies.  It's always (all of) our time, down here.

These ideas seem to coalesce at certain times, and they endure because they were there all along.

Archetypal figures in fairy tales are such ideas.

I present to you a lovable and dark little sea-urchin of a fairy tale.


Offering #2


Excerpt: (Click the story title for the full length story)


"After dinner, Gretl starts the fire; she likes to watch things burn. The rest of them know not to bother her but sit, talking, sewing, sharpening knives. All in a circle, each more beautiful than the last, the way leopards are beautiful, or the very best swords."
