“Aunt Lydia was here today Sierra, she left something for you in the kitchen. I’ll see you in the morning after my shift,” her mother yelled as she sprinted out the front door.

The Penis Chronicles presents, “Merry-go-round” One of my favourite summer activities growing up was having a campfire with ghost stories.

The shift happened a few weeks ago and the Autumn Equinox is upon us. We are officially nestling into the season between summer and winter. The nights settle on us earlier and welcome the soft glow of candles and the warmth from fireplaces. I enjoy these cooler nights which are quiet and contemplative. It is… Continue reading Betwixt

Scarecrow Sweepstakes

The sounds of corn stalks rustling in the breeze is familiar to the humans that live in the area. It is a typical fall sound that doesn’t gain too much attention. However, in the fields the scarecrows grow restless with anticipation because for them that soft muffled crackling sound means that it is almost time… Continue reading Scarecrow Sweepstakes
