sandy banks of the River Namm. Because Kaid lies in a veritable desert
wasteland, the Kaidites were protected from enemy attack, until one day
they burst forth in a conquering fury, and none in their path could
withstand them.

My Fisher Price Airplane

The surface is cold, almost as if the airplane had been lonely the past thirteen years waiting for that little three-year old boy to hold it again. The exterior of the plane is as smooth a newborn baby except for a few deep scratches here and there. I place the plane back on the table and push it around a little bit for old time’s sake. The wheel .....

Once I have showered and dressed, I venture into the kitchen to see if there is a quick breakfast that can be prepared between the time I put the kettle on until the time it boils. My mum will be up to her armpits with potato and carrot peelings and there will be various pans bubbling and hissing on the stove. A chicken, a leg of lamb, or roast beef will be ro .....

The Green Light Café
