    It was like any other day in the cave system I called home. I’d wake up in the pit us "lesser" goblins would be forced to sleep in‚ then I get to listen to our ever so charismatic chieftain scream at us incoherently‚ we would then be treated to the tremendous showing of our "mighty and brave" leader beating the snot out of the closest one of us he could get his hands on. Oh how I hated this prick‚ always keeping us down just because we were a little bit lazy and maybe‚ yeah that one time the sentries

    his feet. Arthur had a small smirk on his face as if he’d heard the comment and Fredrick wasn’t entirely sure how to take the king pleasure in his discomfort. He was a knight of Camelot now‚ a place he’d never aspired to. His fellows who really knew him would do the same when they found out. "Now‚ take your place beside Lady Guinevere. You’ll remain her personal guard with no other duty than to protect her in my absence." Well‚ that didn’t sound too onerous. It was what he’d been doing already.

    Lost in an Upside-Down House I knew Wonderworks would be exhilarating‚ but I had no idea how exhilarating it would truly be. It was mid-day in 2009 and my family had traveled to the Wonderworks attraction. The day had been extremely fun thus far‚ but the day quickly went from fun to scary. I was climbing on the climbing wall‚ and was all smiles. “Yay! I’m having so much fun today!

    Clemmie‚ she felt cosy and dry. As snug as a bug‚ in a rug‚ with a pug who wanted a hug. Inside the van‚ it was a tight fit‚ yet all five of them managed to squeeze onto the padded benches in the back. At the end of the bench sat Mosaic‚ because Doctor Pax had put him in charge of opening the trunk. A squall of rain broke the silence as it buffeted the side of the van‚ although‚ at one stage‚ Clemmie thought the others might have heard the thump of her heart. Ba boom! Ba boom! Ba boom!

    PART I: + The short story‚ “No Name Women”‚ was shocking‚ horrifying‚ and almost unfathomable for me.

I am amazed by the dramatic differences that time and culture impose upon attitudes toward adultery. I found the rituals performed during this raid to be interesting. For example‚ the woman who waived the broom in the air to release spirits.
