  1. A tale is a story. Some people have a gift for telling stories. This is a good way to pass down incidents and anecdotes to family members. A way to keep an oral history of family affairs.

    GOD, it’s all well and good, but it sure as shit doesn’t prepare us for what’s really waiting out there.
    It sure as shit doesn’t give us our prince charming or our 3 wishes or nothing.
    It sure as shit isn’t a warning or a heads up for what’s coming our way.

    We’re just stuck here.
    In a tale, yea.
    In our tale.

  16. He pulled the sheets tight around his body and settled into bed.

    Finally, in walked his father, tie slightly undone, a few books in his hands. Which one would he hear tonight on his way to his dreams?

  17. stories never do justice. tall tales- thats the only way. how do you convey the information that people lack by not being there. the experiential data. over embellishing. to say that exaggeration breeds inaccuracy is rather cynical; in fact, it often brings the balance.

  24. I don’t always believe me when you talk about giants and monsters and impossible love stories and funny happenstances and the coincidences that rule our lives. I hate the stochasticity of my every day. I don’t always believe you when you tell me that it all makes sense, that there’s a purpose, but I do believe you when you say that we’ll be happy, that we’ll love each other, that forever is well within our reach. And a part of me wants to be jaded and worldly and cynical, but we both know that I do believe you when you say “happily ever after.”

  32. My friend once told me a story not to long ago about a man who walked 30 miles in the rain to get his son a blanket, and I said, “that’s BS.” I just don’t think a blanket would put up with all that rain.

  33. It is a tale of things that happened long ago. So long ago, no one quite remembers everything. It has been passed down for generations, added to and modified, so little of the original remains. But sit back and listen, child, and I will tell you what I know. You will have to decide for yourself what is truth.

  34. A long time ago there was a tale. A tale of soft words spoken in many flavors over long nights with sweet sparkles from lightning bugs’ asses.

  35. Oh do I have a tale.

  36. “What will we tell them?” asked Kanzi. “I guess…that it was all a lie. There is no evil thing.” replied Julian. “But there is! We can’t just lie for the sake of Sophie’s well-being.” Julian looked at me with my sad truth reflected in his eyes.

  40. She rips at the sparkly tulle, pulls at it until it rips completely off and the black is visible, and she throws it at the spiders hanging off the trees, spiders pretending to be leaves, hoping she’ll walk into their webs so that they may hang her and tickle her face with their legs until her prince comes to end the fairy tale. But she knows better, and ends it herself, turns around and screams at them to find a new princess to trap.
