The Tower Bends
The light caught her heels as she stepped ahead of me along the path, turning the corner, all I saw were her heels and ankles as she entered the deeper woods. When I got to the place on the path where I’d seen her, she had already been absorbed in the forest. Movies had shown…

Research Travel
After returning to the warehouse, and settling in to the various rooms that seemed to have meaning for my explorations, I found myself unable to shake the feeling that I had really missed something important. I went over and over my notes and checked each of the photos I’d taken to establish the space. The…

Forest in the Cabinet
The trees reflected on the glass of the bookcase, making it appear as if the glass case enclosed a living forest with branches moving in the wind’s waves. But the light was muted, for this glass wasn’t a true mirror. Still the reflection appeared to have some life force in it, a little more than…

Were they still there somewhere, continuing on in their lives, progressing throughout time as if they were as real as life on earth? Glynis thought they might be, but the details were hazy.

Glynis
A shy girl stands alone, observing all this, not ready to step into it. No one else appears to be there. Only the birds – a great murmuration of swallows appears, for it is early morning.
