Tales of the Great Conglomeration

One: The War of Invisible YearsThere is a period in the history of the Great Conglomeration that has been almost entirely obliterated from legend. It has certainly never appeared in any academic book published by the corporations of the Conglomeration, and if any naive kitten had ever asked about the peculiar ( Read more... )

The Bridge of Lost StoriesYou, dear reader, from the world of free stories, may find it almost impossible to imagine the life of Amelia Gardenwood - the only daughter of the chief bridge-builder in the New Londonian Republic, where stories were forbidden. You see, until the day the Gypsies came, young Amelia had never even seen a picture of a book ( Read more... )

Tales from the Twin Glass Cities

The Straw that Stirs the Drink.They came to the Stone City in the spring, during those interceding days before the creeping heat of summer had claimed victory over the lingering snow.

The Fifth Myth of the CreationIt started as a game among the cats. In the era before the Great Conglomeration, when felines ruled the never-ending-dark, a moment of mischief occurred inside the cracks between the various Realms of Real Places.

Reinventing the Wheel

The First Myth of the CreationThe first time the world began, the Gods were at the fairground.
