Hi Parson,
It's not anything that has to do with this site. It's for another group I belong to. On another note, it took a lot to find a way to cut those extra words. No matter what I did, they seemed to grow. I got it down though.

Reviews! It's been too long! No time! Ahhh!

The Jewel Thief, @Cat's Cradle – Through the medium of Raven’s magic, Frog learns that crime doesn’t pay and that you should definitely get that lump checked out.

Vince’s Fury, @Ashleyne. B. Watts – The mountainous Vince’s volcanic temper gets the better of him until he (literally) blows his top in this tale of rage and regret.

The Woman and the Moon, @Victoria Silverwolf – This tale of grand aspirations teaches us that we really can reach for the stars.

Growing Wiser, @Cathbad – The impish Grem gains a new clarity of purpose thanks to the Faerie Queen’s punishment. Presumably this is not quite what she intended.

Bushy Tailed Annihilation, @Luiglin – This whimsical mix of anthro-animals and a heady rock-and-roll lifestyle teaches us that folks can be better suited to some things than others.

Growth Mindset, @Cory Swanson – A stark yet amusing warning of the dangers of ignoring problems in the hope they will go away.

Predator and Prey, @BionicGriff – The hunter becomes the hunted in this cautionary tale of how greed can get the better of you.

The Golden Rule, @Stable – One unfortunate child is chosen to ensure the future of society in this harrowing insight into a world without grown-ups.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Thank you, Shyrka! Ah yes - the fabled biopsy...

Nice to see your reviews again, CC

 

[Glen]

Boom!

 

[Shyrka]

Spring has Sprung, @Calliopenjo – The passing of the seasons is the theme for this intriguing little vignette. Sometimes it's best not to out-stay your welcome...

Every Cloud… @Peter V – Set in a whimsical world of sentient clouds, this meteorological tale teaches us that good can be found even in the darkest places.

The Glowing Menace, @chrispenycate – An incongruously-cheerful little rhyme about a sinkhole that threatens to devour any and all around it, this story shows even humanity's great achievements are at the mercy of the natural world.

Boom! @Glen – Like Alexander and the Gordian Knot, Nature’s riddles are given short shrift in this swash-buckling tale of derring-do. Sometimes the answer is to avoid the question all together, consequences be damned!

@Starbeast .... helps us understand that humanity never advances beyond bathroom humor.

I blame politicians that don't want humankind to move forward, toward improvement, causing us to stunt our great individual potentials. But thanks for the review Parson.

 

[farntfar]

Oh dear.
I'll have the inquisition after me for that one.

 

[Parson]

@farntfar .... Helps us understand that unless you follow the recipe you never know what you might get.
