Marwinter of fears
It was raining all night last night. It was raining so hard, I couldn’t do a thing to stop it. Can’t remember why or at what point I began to run. I just put on my running shoes and away we went into the pitch-black night.
I ran and ran even though it was very cold and I was shivering to my skeleton. Finally, I tripped on a rock. I realized then how tired I was, so I hid under the rock. I got bored of that after a while. That was when I got the idea of banging my head against the rock! I did that repeatedly, I banged and banged my bloody head against the bloody rock ‘til my head swelled up like a damn watermelon.
The rock said, “What’s the matter with you?” I replied by bleeding.
“In the future, you will look back on this night and you will be amazed that you even felt like this.” I continued to bang my head against the rock. I thought the rock had gone mad!
“On the brightest night of your life, you will recall tonight and laugh.” Laugh? Brightest night of my life? Why, I could laugh at that right now! I wanted to say. But I seemed to have lost my voice. In fact, it seemed I’ve lost control over my movements altogether. I just continued to hurt my head until a tiny pool of blood surrounded me.
“Someday, you won’t even remember this.“
It was no use. I had fallen in love with the sound of my head banging against the rock. By that time, I had such a nice rhythm going. I felt to stop would be a terrible injustice.
The rock went on to encircle me somehow. I felt dizzy. Things around me began to blur ‘til I couldn’t see the contrasts anymore. There was still no trace of light when I closed my eyes and started dreaming…
— i dreamt of a night that wasn’t so dark - i dreamt of a house that wasn’t made of sand - there was something pure in the way the light slanted from the window - the air smelled of newness and i felt afraid. Pictures of vermilion seas seething flashed before me without warning. I felt so scared I contemplated running again. I was afraid the window would close and I’d never feel the sun again. I closed my eyes then. In my dream, I closed my eyes and imagined a day so bright, no night could penetrate it…—
When I woke up, it was still raining. There was still no trace of light. Morning was still so very far away… -

“sunwashed words”submission to Neil Gaiman’s ’ A Calendar of Tales’, Julyerm…another one from my favorite tale.. Took me a while to come up with this one because it’s my favorite tale… I’m very much familiar with the dangers of escapism thru the written words, whether you are the writer or the reader. It can be really awesome to be insanely immersed in a make-believe world, it’s the tiny breaks of sanity that’s horrifying to me.
Anyways, tried to encompass the whole story in one illustration. I’m not sure if I succeeded. Submitted to blackberry as ‘universe of words’ initially cuz I couldn’t think of a title. This is the 3rd version I submitted, I believe. The words are from July tale, plus I added some of my silly words too.
Sad that I didn’t complete the calendar. I already have concepts for the missing months but my hand hurts. My fingers are throbbing!!! I was on photoshop for long hours with little breaks. Still, I didn’t complete the calendar.
Still, this was FUN!! Thanks :D

‘Twin Pendant’
submission to Neil Gaiman’s ’ A Calendar of Tales’ February
another fun story!! this is my visual depiction of the sisters from the world of skywhales. the one below is the prankster and the sleeping girl above is the one who thought she lost her pendant and was doomed to stay here on earth for years and years…
on one hand, it was mean of her sister to hide her pendant but then again, she ended up having a family here on earth so she musta been happy…so all is forgiven…lol.
might i add that i do have sisters and i am nothing like this trickster. -
