Fable

The Replacement Genie
I washed up on the shore in mid-afternoon. I was hot, soaked to the skin, and utterly intolerant of this pissant little island. I was even less tolerant of the sea-serpent I’d hired to get me here in the first place. Foul things, sea-serpents. My broken wing throbbed under the dripping bandage holding it together and all I could think of was kicking Orem’s butt next time I saw him.

Falling in Love with Fiction
Last year, I rekindled my love of reading. As a gifted kid who burnt out in the 11th grade, I was well-used to reading above my grade level. In college, I was met with required readings and textbooks that broke both the bank and my back. I found it hard to get into books that weren’t the feel-good, motivational type — shout out to Bob Goff, I love you! After 23 years of life, and a friend group that constantly bullied me for not understanding their references, I decided it was time to hop into the wonderful wizarding world of Harry Potter. After finishing the series in a month or so, I had a new appreciation of reading and where it could take me. I found my niche in a few weeks — fiction, thriller, suspense, mystery mash-ups. So, dear reader, I thought I’d share with you my top four books from last year that kept me engaged, sweating, in shock and most importantly, back into the swing of loving reading.

Smoked Elvis
It had been a slow night driving a cab in Grover’s Mill, New Jersey and the fog had settled over a lonely meadow. It was a perfect place for some peace until the streak of light appeared. The craft settled silently as it landed. So quietly that the local dogs didn’t make a sound.

The Killer Clown
It was a warm summer night when the residents of the small town of Millfield began to notice something strange. A clown, dressed in a brightly colored suit and carrying a large bag of balloons, was wandering the streets, always seeming to be just out of reach.

The Cabin in the Woods
Deep in the heart of the forest, there stood a cabin, hidden away from the outside world. The cabin had been abandoned for years, its windows boarded up and its doors locked tight. But despite its rundown appearance, the cabin had a certain allure, drawing in those who were brave enough to venture into the woods.

The House on the Hill
The House on the Hill stood tall and ominous, overlooking the small town of Ravenswood. The residents of the town whispered about the house, telling tales of ghostly apparitions and mysterious occurrences.

Got My Eyes On You
Reset your password. Three words that mean either you have forgotten your password, you have given it to someone else and don’t want to allow them access to that particular account anymore or someone has cracked your password and is using your account without permission. That’s what we’re all worried about, isn’t it? Or at least that’s what we should be worried about. But most of us aren't.

A Step in the Right Direction
I remember the day I saw that phrase for the first time. My email account was asking me to reset my password. I did and thought nothing off it. This was standard after so long of keeping the same one, but I never knew that it was actually the beginning of the end.

The Shoe Shiner
1 –An Introduction to Shining Shoes Frank started out on the busiest corner he could think find. It was downtown of course. It was less about the cars going by and more about the foot traffic. The shopping district was of course the most logical choice. Halloween was approaching and then the holiday season would be in full swing. More shoppers, more good cheers, more giving. And for Frank, that meant more money. It therefore behooved the young man of thirteen years old to set his plan in motion as soon as he could. It seemed like a good opportunity and a young man always needed more money. He would soon find something much more valuable, however. But that comes later.
