Call me Hadrian, that is how humans know me. She was called Star. Indeed she is that. Deep golden hair, sparkling silver eyes, you know the sort of girl. I knew her eyes sparkled, for they were filled with tears when she came into my shop.It was late afternoon. The time when humans would depart home and cook their evening meal. I had watched her roam about the shopping center, trying in vain to find work. Or perhaps hide the tears which constantly wanted to spill. She kept looking at her phone checking upon her parents. They were not well, o...

The Great Cheese WarBy Heather David For time out of mind the Great Cheese War had been fought. The dwarf town known as Mozzarella Village had fought against the Muenster Village.
