The Distant Queen - 1

Submitted by on

The Distant Queen

by Terry Volkirch

This story is mainly about a romance between two young women who are from two different worlds. It's a fantasy story with some adventure but there are no mythical creatures and there isn't a lot of magic. It's really a sweet and tender romantic comedy with a mostly happy ending.

Author's note: This story starts slowly. It takes several chapters to create the setting and background. The romance just barely begins in chapter 4 and doesn't start to blossom until chapter 6. Please be patient. Please? :)

Oscar Night

by Jennifer Brock

Novelist/screenwriter David Fine got himself in an awkward position where he agreed to wear a gown if he was nominated for an Oscar. The nominations came out and he's stuck. But his friend Claude Marsh the fashion designer assembled a "cabal" of experts to help make David more feminine. Last time, they met with a cosmetic surgeon who convinced David that if he really wanted to look like a woman, he'd need to make a few changes to his face. David was also interested in seeing what he'd look like with breast implants, something his girlfriend bisexual model Maritza Delgado seemed very enthusisastic about. In this installment, David experiences his nonsurgical options, and one of the cabal members has some bad news for Maritza.

"So how are things with Simon?"

"Fine," was all I said.

"So why don't I believe you?" He said very quietly.

"I don't know, maybe you don't understand English."

"Ha ha. I don't believe you."

"That's your problem, now are we going to order or discuss my relationship?"

"We could do both."

Stephanie’s Deal

by Jennifer Brock

Nearly twelve-year-old Stephen Brooks got in trouble for peeking at his Christmas presents and his parents decided to punish him by making him act like a girl for his week and a half of vacation. That has since snowballed into two and a half weeks, with another two and a half to go, plus dance classes every other Wednesday, since Stephanie agreed to be a junior bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding. Because she has a jerk for a dance partner, she’s started using botanical oils to try and grow breasts, a form of revenge that somehow makes sense to her. Last episode, there was an altercation after church, as the minister chased Stephanie out for talking to the boy she likes. This Episode covers a full week in Stephanie's life.

"Where is Simon?"

"I dunno, why?" I yawned to emphasise the point.

"Henry is on the phone."

Oscar Night

Last time, novelist/screenwriter David Fine and his girlfriend model Maritza Delgado attended a New Year's Eve party thrown by his friend fashion designer Claude Marsh, and later learned that Claude had organized a "cabal" of experts to help him get David into a gown at the Oscar ceremony. (A flippant comment to a fashion reporter at the previous year's event made him promise to wear one.) Claude was in the middle of showing him design ideas and had just said that David would need to accessorize with silicone before he passed out.

The Unicorn's Gift - Part 9

So many paths lead through the wood.
All different night from day.
Turning, ever crossing
so who will find the way.

A mother’s heart is strongest,
though her eyes see only light.
A father ever watchful
staves off a coming night

when eyes beheld so many years
with wisdom they might find
steps to lead us to the path,
to bring us peace sublime.

Armed for myth with knowledge,
the younger leads the way,
sets our feet upon the path
we follow to this day

She who knows of suffering,
and peace that healing brings
Prizes love and mercy
above all other things

Hands so warm and gentle
that gift of love they bring,
and with the gift of knowledge
she heals our suffering

And finally, the conspiracy is revealed!

Hushed, so like the Darkness.
It creeps among the trees.
Vague and pale of power.
Like distant memories.

At first, not seen, unnoticed.
A vague cool morning light.
More felt than seen, never keen
a stir of breeze at night.

Then it’s there, a breath of air
at once how it should be,
With opened eyes, and lighter skies,
new worlds for you to see.

The pain grows ever stronger,
Like a blackness on the soul
Ever near, and ever dear
It grows beyond control.

Though night can be a comfort
a refuge from one’s plight
To flee into a darkness
As deep as any night.

But, fears once held in darkness
can sometimes set things right,
for only from the darkness
can you see the farthest light.

Lost amid the forest,
as if clinging to the trees,
the all pervasive darkness
that strangles out the breeze.

Crouching there, the very air,
it struggles for control.
Canopy then parted,
sunlight breaks into the fold.

Here warmth and love that matter,
can dance amongst the trees,
admitted by a laughter
that lays the dark it’s ease.
