        “And then I asked her, ‘what’s your favorite season?’” The man paused, laughing to himself. His yellow teeth showing, distastefully. “This woman really said autumn. Can you believe that?” His friends joined in with the laughter, yet I wasn’t even smiling. Of course they didn’t care about that. I was just the bartender serving their drinks. I zoned out temporarily as I attempted to figure out what the orange blotch on the sleeve of his grey blazer was.     “Hey! Don’t be a bitch, honey!” I scowled and turned my head to meet the eyes of another drunk stranger. “You’d better answer when I tal...KXUone door

    Crown For a White Rose

    The King of the Dead rose from his stone coffin with the tattered tangles of his once-royal robes hanging from his limbs. Bandages to cover up the damage of his ruined skin. He pushed his matted hair from his face, his crown nowhere in sight. He walked on the snow-covered cave floor, ice crunching under his bare feet. He inhaled. Breath whistled into his cold lungs. The air was spiced with a faint flowery scent. An insignificant sting punctured his chest. Wind snaked through the tears in his clothing.
