I selfishly, mercilessly, ruthlessly miss his music the most. His instrument sits unplayed now, with once-greasy fingerprints fading memory-like on the metal. And when I try to recall his smile or his eyes or his lips, the only thing that comes to mind is the melodies those lips made. That must display our relationship completely- because while I was his world, his love, the deepest desire of my innermost heart, my darling, he was only ever my music.
My saxophone boy.
Why don't you read no more, my darling?
Read? No, I don't do that any more. Times have changed since I used to curl up and empathise with ink-and-paper people. The adventure books I used to find so thrilling hold nothing but my characters wearing his face as they explode into fireworks of bloodied innards. Now the stacks by my bedside are only equations and facts and an endless pit of information someone else has already picked apart.
I prefer to listen to you play. Quick, play for me.
Music- now there is something I could never have given up. It was a passion we shared, the soft and delicate relationship between music and audience, the swooping lift of a melody spiking and dancing beats upon your eardrums. The deep and the high, soft and sharp, the clamouring mess of an orchestra of attention-hungry instruments, each vying for their music to take centre stage. When the soft beat takes hold of your heartbeat and leads it tangoing from your control, then, then, you can empathise with quivering notes far better than you ever could with our beloved paper people.
Whatever you say. You do realise I wont always be around to play for you?
He left me there, in the orchestra pit, but now the players were packing up and I couldn't understand the opera. He was doing his work for queen and country, and he would always return for me. And like I never could, he gave up music. He swapped his saxophone for a gun and his melodies for bomb blasts. Where his fingers should be painting greasy prints on metal, they now pulled life-shattering triggers. His legs, made for dark dress pants on a spotlit stage, raced along foreign ground in dust-caked fabric.
Don't be silly, my saxophone boy. What would I do without you?
They sent my saxophone boy back to me in a box, with a lifeless medal as some sort of recompense. At his funeral I choked out meaningless noises formed into meaningless words and thought only of the slow and heavy melody that caught his heartbeat and tangoed away with it to where he could not follow. I thought of the gun that should have been a saxophone and the bomb that should have been a soft whisper of breath. I wondered how much music he had there on stage and in the firing line, while I still cowered in the orchestra pit. Could he even hear the music up there?

The Beauty Of Weeds
I watched him, silently, from a distance, stealthy as a fox. Well, maybe not the stealthy part. Not only did I possess the reflexes of a slug, my mother was also apparently a giraffe, meaning no matter how hard I tried, my face would still stick out even if I possessed the physical capabilities of actually being able to duck behind a bush without tripping over a non-existent object So here I was, a cross between a slug and giraffe, hoping that if he ever turned around, I would be able to escape in an elegant and graceful manner and never see his face again.
Anyone passing by would see a “slugiraffe” (See what I did there?) stalking a guy who she had a crush on. Wrong. I was a “slugiraffe” OBSERVING a guy who just happened to be kind of cute. And I wasn't interested in the guy, well, maybe a little, I was interested in what he was doing. And the guy too. But that's beside the point.
He was crouching beside a rose bush, unsuccessfully trying to pry away the roses while juggling a camera in the other. It was the beginning of spring; the roses a beautiful shade of light pink, scented with sweet, delicate perfume. Not that I could smell it, but whatever. So there he was, pushing away the most beautiful roses spring had seen, and taking a picture of something. I know what you’re thinking. What could possibly more beautiful than the first roses of spring? Well, the guy I was stalk-observing, thought weeds could be.
Yes, weeds. Yet he found them beautiful. But the more I watched him, the more I thought. Maybe weeds ARE beautiful.
I can’t really explain it with words, but they were beautiful. Because I was seeing them. I acknowledged them, saw that they were there. I saw things now. The guy showed me this world. A world where I didn’t skim through a street and remember nothing afterwards. A world where I saw that person walking over there, that shop selling odd bits and bobs. I saw and remembered the old, patient tree, the cement pathway that millions of feet had stepped on, saw the electricity lines that allowed me to see at night. I saw it all.
Oh no. Just no. he’s looking at me. During my mental monologue about the beauty of weeds, the guy had turned around. I now had two options: Fight or flight. Actually, not fight. More like: Face the guy I’m stal-observing and flight. Any other day, I would have tripped over my feet then started running. But today was different. Because maybe he would see past me, just like he had seen past the weeds, how I had seen past the things in the street. Maybe he wouldn’t see the ‘slugiraffe’ in front of him.
Maybe, he would see me.

The Fairy
"Who are you!" I scream running through the bush. There was a small person with wings flying after me while I'm running "please stop running, my wings are getting tired, I am the fairy that is to take you to a house and together we need to build a castle, for people to live in, with us, each time I complete a mission with you I grow back into my human form, just call me Rebecca." Rebecca told me "ok, well why are we just standing here?" I asked being sarcastic "oh,umm, let's go, follow me." Rebecca told me. Rebecca was just small enough to be sitting on my shoulder.
"Well, my name is Allison, people just call me Ally, I found pictures of me when I was little in my bag the other day ,and I was wearing a crown, it looked real." I told her "oh,yes, your majesty." Rebecca was standing on the ground then all of a sudden lent down on one knee with her head down facing the ground. "What are you doing?" I asked feeling really weird. "I am bowing to you because I had just remembered the other reason I came looking for you because you are the long lost princess, how you went missing ten years ago, is still a mystery to everyone, your parents are still so very worried about you, you were only three when you went missing." Rebecca told me. I click my fingers hoping to be at the old and little house we were supposed to be at, then all of a sudden we were there the place that I asked myself to take me. "Your majesty, how did you do that? Rebecca asked me "I don't know, I have always been able to do this." I told her I clicked my fingers again and wished for the castle to have been build, the castle appeared I waled inside the castle and it was beautiful and massive. I look at the fairy and she was back in her original size but still had wings. "Your majesty give me your hand please." She begged I took her hand Rebecca flew up into the sky and took me to my parents they and I were so very happy to see each other then Rebecca's wings disappeared but she also still had elf ears all she and I had to do was get people to my castle. We drove back to my castle, and when we got there people were everywhere there were guards and people moving in Rebecca's elf ears disappeared and she s back to her normal self the rest of the people enjoyed the rest of the enjoyment living in a castle that belongs to a princess.

Moonlight
The full moon shone and it was a few minutes before midnight. The smell of flesh filled the dense air of Jianfeng Mountain. Paws scurried across the dirt, kicking the dirt off the moist, forest floor. They hastened their speed, aroused at the strong scent of blood.
“Flesh! It’s the scent of flesh!” one called out. He howled in excitement amongst the rock. The rest of the pack dashed across the forest. Nearby was a slim, yet muscular figure- Yi Xing, a young werewolf in the pack. Yi Xing was flawless; fair skin, doe eyes, puckered pink lips and mahogany hair. He had soft, child-like features.
Yi Xing slowly morphed into the shape of a wolf. His sapphire eyes and snowy fur gleamed under the silvery beams of the moon. He began to trail after the pack. He quickened his pace as the boisterous sound of skin ripping crescendoed.
Once he arrived, there was the sight of wolves tackling each other; the husky growls that were uttered out; the saliva that was bubbling in the corners of their mouths and the red flecks in their eyes. In the middle was the carcass: stinking and gutted, lying on the dirt. The torso was already slit from the Adam’s apple down to the inner thighs; it looked like a sacrificial slaughter.
"Mine!" one growled. He rapaciously tugged on the ripped intestine. However, the latter was not fazed- He just stood in a stance, nibbling on the ileum. This was his chance. With poise and grace, Yi Xing audaciously traversed towards the littered carcass and thrashed the arm around, ripping it off the ligaments, tearing it like a piece of paper. He made his escape and dived into the dense forest.
Nearby was a cloaked figure intently gazing at the bloody scene, her black, hooded cloak that touched the blades of grass flapped with the direction of the wind. She, too, was flawless. Just like Yi Xing, she had porcelain skin. Other flawless features she possessed were cold, grey eyes like glass; bee-stung, cherry lips; jet black hair and soft features- She looked like a goddess.
The sight of the slaughtered human made her tighten her grip around the metal pole. The black rod was around two metres tall. On top of that was a large, curved blade that reflected the silvery beams that reached down to hit the surface. Her large, inky wings trailed behind her as she maneuvered towards the scattered, fleshless skeleton. The familiar stench of blood filled her lungs as she slowly traced the cracks of the bones with the tip of her scythe. Her smoky eyes suddenly turned into garnets, furious at the werewolves. The sight of the littered carcass made her jaw tighten.
She was supposed to save the human, so she could bring him to Hell before anything could interfere with the process. Now the deceased human is not able to safely pass through Hell. What will she do once he find out?

The Toy Store Plan
We were about to leave the shops when my best friend came up with a plan.
“Have you ever done this before?” I asked Rebecca looking straight into her eyes.
“Of course I have!” Replied Rebecca, giving me a little nudge with her shoulder “It’s safe, I think” whispered Rebecca with a wobbly grin. We ran up to our parents. “Excuse me Mum, but could Hannah and I stay at the shops a little longer?” Rebecca questioned and glanced at me, wanting me to say something more.
“Right, after all we are responsible, best friends,” I continued with an unconvincing smile. Our parents gave us some money if we needed to buy some food or water. As they walked out of the door, we waved and yelled good bye. But that was the easy part, now the operation was real. “It’s about 5 o’ clock,” I told Rebecca pointing at my watch. We ran into the toy store as if we were customers. We went to a quiet aisle and just waited.
TWO HOURS LATER
Finally, the store was starting to shut. “Dear shoppers! Everyone please exit the toy store as we are closing for today.” The robot like voice boomed through the loud speakers. As we saw people leaving the shop, we started getting ready for the long night ahead.
“Will our parents find out?” I asked, I was beginning to doubt what we are doing.
“I told them we were having a sleep over at Jenny’s,” replied Rebecca “I told them we would catch the bus back home in the afternoon.” We hid behind boxes of toys waiting for all of the staff of toy store to leave. They looked through all the aisles to see if anyone was still shopping. We could hear the footsteps of someone coming near us, we froze. “Do you want to go for a burger Bob?” asked one of the staff members.
“Are you sure about doing this?” I asked squinting to try see Rebecca’s face.
“All you do is worry Hannah,” Rebecca moaned with a smirk “You never take a risk.”
“Is that a bet?” I replied shooting her smirk back at her. “Let me have the first go on the bike,” I suggested. Rebecca gave me the bike handles. With one push I started to ride the bike. Suddenly my hand slipped off the handle. The bike smashed into a shelf. Oh no! What have we done?

The Fairy And The Rainbow Wand
Once upon a time there was a fairy named Mona-Lisa. She was very, very pretty. She had a special wand that makes everything turn into rainbow colours.
One day Mona-Lisa flew into my bedroom and she tapped her wand onto my bed three times. My bed became rainbow colours, red, green, blue, pink and yellow. Then my bed started to grow wings. My bed then started flying while I was sitting on it. I was so scared because I was about to fall off. Then I got all my toys and held them and I wasn’t scared anymore, I felt safe. Then Mona-Lisa said to me "I will keep you safe as I want to be your friend." We became best friends.
We then flew over to my friend Marielle’s house. At my friend’s house Mona-Lisa tapped her magic wand three times on our heads and our hair became rainbow colours. I felt so happy and Marielle was happy too. Then we started playing on my bed and then I grabbed Marielle’s hand and we flew on my bed back to my house into my bedroom.
Mona-Lisa said goodbye and said to us that she will come back and visit us very soon.Then she flew away into the sky with her magic rainbow wand and made a big rainbow in the sky. I started to cry because I will miss my new friend, the very pretty fairy named Mona Lisa.

The King, The Peasant And The Lamp
A century ago, a king by the name of king Marvel lived in prosperity, as nobles from far and wide flocked to see him, offering gifts of gold all the while. But no one could give him what he really wanted: power.
One stormy night, everything changed. An elderly woman hobbled into king Marvel’s castle. “I have a gift that I am sure you will like, your majesty. Though I warn you of its power.” At her words, the King looked up. “Well? Where is it?” He demanded. With a gnarled hand, she drew from her cloak a golden lamp.
The King’s eyes grew dark. “What is this piece of junk?” He growled. The woman smiled calmly. “It is a little dusty. Maybe you should dust it off?” Impatiently, he did as she said. To his great surprise, a mist-like substance began to leak from the lamp’s spout, to take the form of a man. “Greetings, ye who has summoned me. I shall grant you one wish of your desire.” The genie said.
A terrible ides struck Marvel. “My wish is to all power over the people of this land!” He cackled. The genie sighed, but gave a nod of his head. “It is done; however, I warn you, all wishes have their consequences.” The King scoffed. “I have what I wanted. I don’t need you anymore!” and he cast the lamp out a nearby window. It landed with a SPLOSH in the river.
A lonely, ugly peasant was out in his forest, chopping wood glumly as usual, when his age-worn eyes caught a glimpse of something shining in the nearby river. Curiosity struck him, and he plucked the gold lamp from the water. Joy flooded the peasant. “I can sell this and I’ll be rich!” As he shuffled back to his dingy hut, he wiped the water from its surface with a gnarled hand, and the genie appeared.
“You must help me. I am a genie who was enslaved and forced to grant people wishes. King Marvel has wished for great power over everyone in this land! Only a contradicting wish can stop him.” The peasant’s forehead creased with what seemed like a thousand wrinkles as he strained to think of a wish that could stop the evil king. It finally came to him. “I wish King Marvel never existed.” With a nod of his head, the genie said “It is done. Thankyou.” With a puff, he disappeared.
“And that is how the peasant saved the people from the tyranny of King Marvel.” An elderly peasant concluded as he closed the book. “Grandpa?” Mumbled a sleepy child. “Yes, little one?” “I want to be a King someday. A good one.” “Maybe you will. Maybe you will find a magic lamp and your wish will come true.” Whispered the old man as the boy closed his eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Birth Of An Ice Princess
Twenty years ago there was an Ice Princess born of a curse. Her parents were shocked but still thrilled, that they had a princess who had arrived; her name was Avery Grace Camelot. Her parents were the King and Queen of the country of Camelot Rise. They lived in beautiful Camelot Castle.
Five years had passed and Avery was five years old. She had a new born baby SISTER, her name was Aleshia. But she was an ordinary child, not like her big sister. When Aleshia was three years old she found out that her big sister had enchanting but dangerous powers.
When Avery was ten years old and Aleshia was five years old, they woke on a wonderful snowy winter morning and they made their own Ice room. There were magnificent snow hills and exceptional, icy grounds. Aleshia was jumping from hill to hill until Avery got her icy powers to Aleshia's heart and, without a true love kiss at the age of sixteen, she would turn to solid ice.
Then suddenly Avery got two magical gloves, they were blue. Then Aleshia was jealous because she did you get gloves. Then Aleshia asked, “Where did you get the glove from, Avery?”
She said, “I got them from Mum and Dad.”
“Ok, thanks.” She asked he Mum and ad if she could have a pair of blue gloves too.
“Ok my darling girl but didn’t you already have a pair of gloves?”
“No, I don’t, so can I have some please?”
“Ok, I will get you a pair. “The next day they arrived, Aleshia was so happy now she had magic gloves too. Aleshia went too and played on the icy cold ground. After, they went back to their beautiful Camelot Castle.
Then Avery and Aleshia arrived safely. Avery told her sister, “I need to do something to you. Is that fine with you?”
“Ok, tell me what you are going to do to me.”
“I am going to make you a good princess. Ok, shut your eyes, 321… I will start now. Ok, Magi Magic come to life!” After one hour Aleshia was a good princess. They were all happy and lived happily ever after.

Princess Aurora And The Magic Brush
One sunny morning Princess Aurora went for a walk on the beach. She loved the sound of the sea shore. She heard a sweet little noise like a little sea shore pixie she looked around and saw a little boy. “Who are you?” said Aurora.
“I am a Shore pixie,” called Sandy. “I’m Sandy.” He had a house made out of sand. Every day he redecorated his house. Then they both came together and saw a mermaid. She was shy at first, but after a wile she talked. “My name is Annalise.”
“You’d better swim away now!” Sandy said. “Princess, dad is coming now,” so Annalise swam away.
“Hello,” said King Sam. “Look at what I have for you.”
Princess Aurora’s eyes lit up as her father’s hand opened. “It is a brush that I found on the coral.”
“Thank you, dad! I am going to brush my hair with it.” So she brushed her hair and a lot of flowers appeared on her hair. “Wow!” So she brushed again and a fairy flew out, sprinkling fairy dust.
“This must belong to the mermaid,” so Sandy went and said, “I can go, and I can breathe under water.”
“Can I come as well?” said Aroura. “Okay, but are you sure about this?”
“Yes! I am. Let’s go now,” said Sandy, so they went under water and saw lots of mermaids.
“There’s the king,” Sandy thought. “King, king - we found Annalise’s hair brush.”
“Thank you,” said the king.
So Sandy and Aroura left and went home. The next morning Sandy went out and saw a big treasure box saying Thank You so from that day you might see Sandy collecting crystals or a glimpse of a mermaid.

The Three Little Pigs
Once upon a time there were three little pigs. One pig built a house of straw while the second pig built his house with sticks. They built their houses very quickly and then sang and danced all day because they were lazy. The third little pig worked hard all day and built his house with bricks.
A big bad wolf saw the two little pigs while they danced and played and thought, “What juicy tender meals they will make!” He chased the two pigs and they ran and hid in their houses. The big bad wolf went to the first house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in minutes. The frightened little pig ran to the second pig’s house that was made of sticks. The big bad wolf now came to this house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in hardly any time. Now, the two little pigs were terrified and ran to the third pig’s house that was made of bricks.
The big bad wolf tried to huff and puff and blow the house down, but he could not. He kept trying for hours but the house was very strong and the little pigs were safe inside. He tried to enter through the chimney but the third little pig boiled a big pot of water and kept it below the chimney. The wolf fell into it and died.
The two little pigs now felt sorry for having been so lazy. They too built their houses with bricks and lived happily ever after.
The Dog, the Cock and the Fox
A guard dog and a cock had been living on a farm for some considerable time, and had become good friends. One day they decided they would like to see the world and they set out together. As night fell, they found a nice tree where they decided to spend the night. The cock flew up into the branches and was soon fast asleep. The dog settled in the hollow trunk below.
At the first crack of dawn, the cock woke up, and crowed loudly. After all, it had been his job for years to wake up everybody on the farm, and one day on the road had not changed his habits. Just down the road a fox was resting, and hearing the cock crowing, thought this would make a good breakfast for him. So he stood under the tree, and called up to the cock. “What a lovely voice you’ve got, Mr Cock”, the fox said. “Why don’t you come down from your high perch so that we can get acquainted?”
The cock smiled. “I should love to get acquainted, Mr Fox”, he said. “My servant is sleeping at the foot of the tree, do wake him, and ask him to let you in”. The greedy fox could already taste the cock, and knocked on the tree trunk, waking the guard dog. The dog too, remembered his duties from his time at the farm, and seeing the fox, jumped on him and tore into him.
Jupiter and the Monkey
Jupiter was the king of heaven and earth and the big boss of all the gods of Mount Olympus. Every now and then, when they were not busy making up new rules for people to live by, the gods would think up little games to amuse themselves. So it was that one day Jupiter called together all the animals and proclaimed that he would give a prize to the one who produced the most beautiful offspring. All the animals were very excited, so off home they ran and jumped and skipped and slithered and flew and swam to get their babies to be judged by the great Jupiter.
Ma monkey brought her baby along, its hair hadn’t started growing yet, its eyes were still closed, and its nose was as flat as a pancake. When the gods saw this poor little creature they all instantaneously burst out laughing uncontrollably, they just couldn’t help themselves. But Ma monkey didn’t take any notice. She gave her little baby a cuddle, and planted a big kiss on its flat nose. “You gods can laugh as much as you like,” she said, “and I don’t care who gets the prize, but as far as I’m concerned, my baby will always be the most beautiful baby of them all!”
The Hares and the Frogs
All the hares in the great forest were called together for a meeting. Their elders had decided on the get together so that they could discuss their miserable fate. They just had too many enemies; men, dogs, beasts and birds of prey all hunted the hare for food, and they lacked the means to defend themselves. They had no great jaws full of sharp teeth, like some dogs or the wolf; they had no great claw with sharp nails, such as the bear; they didn’t have spikes on their back, like the hedgehog, that would stop a predator. They were desperate and decided they could just not go on any longer being persecuted and hunted. The only way out, they resolved, was to go and commit mass suicide. Nearby was a deep pool, and the decided they would just all jump in there together and drown, putting an end to their misery once and for all.
A large colony of frogs lived in the pool, and some of them were basking in the sunshine on the bank, when there was a terrible racket of the hares rushing towards the pool. Startled, the frogs croaked in anguish, and jumped in the water, hiding themselves. One of the older and wiser hares, who was leading the charge towards the pool, saw this and stopped. He raised his paws in the air. “Friends”, he shouted, “Stop! Let’s reconsider. Things are not quite as bad as they seem, here are some creatures who are actually afraid of us, so we are not the lowest of the low after all!”
The Monkey and the Camel
During the time of the animal kingdom, the animals used to have periodic gatherings where they would discuss important questions and elect their kings.
Very often one or two animals would get in front of the crowd and provide some entertainment. Once the monkey gave a particularly inspired performance of dancing, which was greatly appreciated by all the animals who were there. They cheered and applauded him enthusiastically.
A camel was in the audience, and he felt rather envious. He would love to be so adored. This desire made him get up and take his place before the crowd. He began to dance, and he thought he was doing quite well. The audience however thought he looked ridiculous and started booing and calling him names. The camel was so embarrassed that he retired from the meeting and made his way back to the dessert, where he has stayed ever since.
The Bear and the Travellers
Two travellers were on a long journey through the countryside. They were walking along a track on the edge of some wood, when, some way ahead of them, they suddenly spotted a great bear ambling towards them. They were not sure whether the bear had seen them, but not wanting to take any risks, the first traveller climbed up the first tree and hid amongst the high branches. The second one dropped his bags and fell to the ground, pretending to be dead. He’d heard somewhere that bears don’t like to eat dead flesh, so he thought this was his safest way to survive.
The bear reached the spot where the man was lying on the ground, who was keeping as still as he could, and doing his best to keep his breath in. The bear sniffed around his head for a few minutes, but did not seem to be all that interested, and went on his way. The second traveller gingerly climbed down from the tree to join his friend. “Phew!” he said, “That was close. From up there in the tree, I could have sworn that bear was talking to you!”
“He was”, the second one replied. “He told me to be more careful in future when setting out on a journey, and not to travel with someone who deserts you at the first sign of trouble!”
The Wolf and The Lamb
A
lamb was grazing with a flock of sheep one day. She soon found some
sweet grass at the edge of the field. Farther and farther she went,
away from the others.
She
was enjoying herself so much that she did not notice a wolf coming
nearer to her. However, when it pounced on her, she was quick to
start pleading, “Please, please don’t eat me yet. My stomach is
full of grass. If you wait a while, I will taste much better.”
The
wolf thought that was a good idea, so he sat down and waited.
After
a while, the lamb said, “If you allow me to dance, the grass in my
stomach will be digested faster.” Again the wolf agreed. While the
lamb was dancing, she had a new idea. She said, “Please take the
bell from around my neck. If you ring it as hard as you can, I will
be able to dance even faster.”
The
wolf took the bell and rang it as hard as he could. The shepherd
heard the bell ringing and quickly sent his dogs to find the missing
lamb. The barking dogs frightened the wolf away and saved the lamb’s
life

The Fox and the Stork
A
selfish fox once invited a stork to dinner at his home in a hollow
tree. That evening, the stork flew to the fox’s home and knocked on
the door with her long beak. The fox opened the door and said,
“Please come in and share my food.”
The stork was invited to sit down at the table. She was very hungry and the food smelled delicious!
The fox served soup in shallow bowls and he licked up all his soup very quickly. However, the stork could not have any of it as the bowl was too shallow for her long beak. The poor stork just smiled politely and stayed hungry.
The selfish fox asked, “Stork, why haven’t you taken your soup? Don’t you like it?”
The stork replied, “It was very kind of you to invite me for dinner.
Tomorrow evening, please join me for dinner at my home.” The next day, when the fox arrived at the stork’s home, he saw that they were also having soup for dinner. This time the soup was served in tall jugs. The stork drank the soup easily but the fox could not reach inside the tall jug. This time it was his turn to go hungry.
A selfish act can backfire on you.
