    Dear Readers, Today we celebrate the 90th birthday of Adrian Winkels. He is famous for retelling beloved fairy tales and giving them a new setting and a more detailed narrative arc. His stories would seem well-known and nostalgic and yet entirely new at the same time. Unfortunately, he passed away three years ago, but his memory and legacy will be carried on by his readers.  Some would argue, that his work is www.onedoor.cconly a collection of forgeries of other writers' works and he didn't make anything original. While we see why would see it that way, we can only, but disagree. During the last month, we a...Xfgone door

    The Listening Tree

    They don’t know that I’m watching. People are blind, I’ve come to learn, which is saying something considering I don’t have eyes of my own. They never wonder if the sapling might be watching, what the oak might observe.That’s why my roots are stained with love and blood alike. I think they’d quiver to know what I remember.I don’t know how I got there—to the edge of that little farm. One day I wasn’t, and then suddenly: awake. Sipping water from the soil and stretching young bark up and up. I always had a great view of the sun, my leaves bathing in its beams. Maybe that’s what it was, the sun,...Xfgone door
