Why Does Time Move Forward?
Once, in a very damp and dreary place, resembling a cave, hidden away, a decrepit man lived alone. His bones were so fragile, they could crumble at any moment. His teeth, brittle like chalk. His clothes clinging to him, as if they moulded part of his skin. This old man did not live, for he hadn’t been properly born. How could he when the concept of time did not exist yet?

The Secret Door
Standing tall above all the others, her beauty radiated like the shimmer of the sunlight. Slim as a pencil, with long spindly fingers, a garment made from the finest emerald velvet, covered her entire body, down to her ankles. The woman stood high, on golden heels of silk, towering like a heavenly goddess. Her four arms extended, cascading down the dress she wore, just hanging loose. The wings attached to her back were smooth to touch, little mountains that repeated the pattern. They fell just below her legs dragging on the cool floor. Her face was the most beautiful of all. A backward facing bird head, with beady eyes in the back of her skull, the colour of brown, grainy sugar. Her beak pointed at the end of her nose, golden and sharp like a knife. It was unclear if she could even smile, but she was the one I had loved. I could not love her enough, but the secret she kept, only kept her away from me.

The Holding Tank
They were surrounded by unfamiliar waters. The seas were saltier and foggier, the smell of medicine and unnatural products filled Nixes nostrils. They knew something was wrong, they could sense it but couldn’t figure out what was happening. Nixes felt their body going around in circles. There didn’t seem to be a way out of the suffocating water. Every way they turned, met with dead ends.

A World Apart
Sunny weather makes people want to spend time outdoors. When the public flock to the zoo, they want is to surround themselves with animals wandering around the plains of their enclosures. They don’t seem to be interested in being cooped up, looking at the animals more suited to warmer climates, such the reptiles and exotic birds.
