Week 13 Reading Notes: Brewery of Eggshells

There was once a couple with twins that lived in a cot known as Twt y Cwmrws. One day the women was called to her neighbors and had to leave her twins behind which she was not happy about. Later, on her way home, she came across a few elves which scared her. When she returned her children were okay. Soon, they realized something was wrong with the twins when they never grew. One day the woman went to a wise man to see what could be done. He told her to meet reapers and give them egg shells with potage in them. If the children speak after this then they must be thrown into the lake. The children then said "Acorn before oak I knew, an egg before a hen, but I never heard of an eggshell brew a dinner for harvest men." She then threw them into the lake and got her real children back.

I stayed in the orphanage for about a year or so until my sister and I were adopted into our current family. I am ...

Week 3 Story: The Wolf

Image
 It was the fifth day without of meal for Wolf. At this point it was getting ridiculous. He had never struggled to catch his prey before, but ever since he was kicked out of his pack, life has just been a battle for survival. Sure, he wasn’t the best hunter, but he could always rely on his pack mates. Now he has no one. No home. And most importantly no food. Wolf managed to find a hollowed out log the other day that he has been taking shelter in. Tomorrow will be better he thought. Wolf’s stomach growled violently as he struggled to fall asleep.  He awoke late in the day. No worries, he hunts best at dusk. Wolf slowly got up and let out a big yawn. It was time to find a meal. He knew of a farmstead close by but never approached it in the past. The pack was terrified of that place. There were these mutated wolves that guarded the tasty meals on legs. Many of his friends have been lost to those creatures. Normally it would be a suicide mission going alone, but he was desperate....
