The Three Kongs

When we reached the bakery wherein the star was predicted to rise in the yeast, we knocked upon the door. WhoContinueContinue reading “The Three Kongs”
The Tale of the White Stone
I am so sorry, said the person who entered, The door provided less resistance than I had imagined. She turned and closed the door softly.

Level Six – I Don’t Know
The Caveman sat in his Cave dressed in clothes of coarse cloth and contemplated the paucity of his understanding, I do not know, he thought to himself. The Queen sat upon her throne in the great hall, dressed in fine silk robes and bedecked with jewellery.
