“The Light in Glass Flowers”

February 22, 2010

An adult fairy tale by Josh Tierney with four illustrations by Sarah Ferrick

‘Who’s this girl, Ace?’ she asked as she danced towards him. She was barefoot and dug her toes into the earth wherever she stood, sending up worms and clumps of dirt.

‘I don’t know,’ he said. ‘I’ve never seen her before.’

She was now standing beside him with her arms wrapped around his body and he knew that she was squeezing as hard as she could even though he could not feel it. ‘She looks like she’s sleeping,’ she said, her innocent blue eyes drinking in every detail of the mysterious girl in front of them.

‘No,’ the man said, shaking his head. ‘She’s had her heart stolen. Look, I’ll show you.’

He then took out a pair of scissors and cut a section of the girl’s dress. He pulled down the flap to reveal a heart-shaped hole near her left breast.

The cavity was completely empty; inside was darkness blacker than even the deepest depths of the forest.

‘Golly, Ace, who would do such an awful thing?’ the girl asked, her eyes wide with fright. He pulled the flap back up.

Nate Hill – “Death Bear”

January 25, 2010

This is something which I think should be in every city. A ritualised disposal service of bad memories and old habits which might allow a sense of closure or division between then and now. From the website:

We all have someone or something we would rather just forget. Things fall apart. Love hurts. Dreams die. But when you summon Death Bear to your door, you can rest assured that help has come. At first you may be intimidated by his stature and color (7 feet tall with a hard, black bear head, black jumpsuit, and black boots), but absorbing the memories of others is a dark art, and Death Bear must present himself appropriately for this solemn duty. Death Bear will take things from you that trigger painful memories and stow them away in his cave where they will remain forever allowing you to move on with your life. Give him an ex’s clothes, old photos, mementos, letters, etc. Death Bear is here to assist you in your time of tragedy, heartbreak, and loss. Let Death Bear help you, and absorb your pain into his cave.
