Welcome to my Weirdly Whimsical Worlds! Above all, I am a worldbuilder, and while I practice the deeper aspects of worldbuilding through the worlds of Evon and Moon Shifters, short stories allow me to explore the myriad possibilities of the broader aspects of worldbuilding.
Weirdly Whimsical Worlds
“Infinity Hotel” in Eclectically Cosmic
Welcome to the Infinity Hotel, the most high-tech hotel in the galaxy! It contains Infinite Dimensions, catering to the needs of every soul at only one credit per room.
“Whimsy of My Life” in Eclectically Magical
I don’t dream often, but when I do, the dreams are real and vibrant. And I have yet to forget one.
“Dark Path of Love” in Fractured Realities
No one knows why the vengeful cupids showed themselves to the human race. All we know is that their arrival marked the beginning of a dark path of love.
“Rhyme and Reason” in Outside the Window
“Vivid Forest shines its forbidding light,
Against Plains we made our home.
Crimson River burns and no more bears life,
While Desert kills all who roam.”
What’s to become of a child who questions the law laid down by the ancestors?
“The Gift of Language” in Dragons Within: Claiming Her Wings
Every member of the Dragonspeak family receives a gift from the Slumbering Dragon. Lunga, youngest of seven, bears the gift of Language, a gift even her mother scorns. When Lunga’s mother is captured by the Darkness, can the gift of Language help save her?
