The Cave Part 10
"The path to knowledge is a high road seldom taken without purpose," said the old man as we approached the small waterfall behind his home. I had watched its mingled frothing streams of white and gray cascading from somewhere higher in the mountain face, never considering it more than a life source to the pool of fish. Yet now as we came to its curtain of shimmering glass, Tharkin extended his hand with a yellow glow of light surrounding his fingers.

Book Review: "I Wished" by Dennis Cooper
I have to tell you about this: I walked into the bookshop and sat down with the first book I found, it was titled I Wished by Dennis Cooper and told the story of George Miles - the addiction, the love, the rock and roll and everything in between. You guys know how much I adore the literature of the 2SLGBTQIA++ community and well, this is no exception. I Wished is a severely emotional, heartbreaking stream-of-consciousness narrative that I have no idea why more people haven't read. Queer Lit, Manchester - I love you for without you I would never have found this beautiful and earth-shattering novella.

From Humble Clay Rooms to a Global Icon
The story of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, also known as the Prophet’s Mosque, is one of spiritual significance, architectural transformation, and deep historical roots. Located in the holy city of Medina, it stands today as the second holiest site in Islam, after the Grand Mosque in Mecca.

You Knew Full Well I was a Snake, Chapter Three
Back at the café, Flashsatsumas had piled up his empty plates so was only too aware how the situation stood. Waiting for Miss Ugly to return with Mini-Flash Juniper safe and sound was proving to be more than he could take, and every interminable minute that passed seemed to increase the likelihood of something having gone wrong. Flashsatsumas didn’t need to look at Pat and Maureen to know they felt the same, so instead he was concentrating on what toys remained and the discarded packages strewn across the table. These Flashsatsumas turned endlessly over in his hands one by one, at his wits’ end for some opportunity he may have missed. His card, Juniper’s card, Maureen’s cats, Pat’s box…

You Knew Full Well I was a Snake, Chapter Two
Entering the shopping-centre café Flashsatsumas ordered five portions of death-by-chocolate, then sat down with his friends to take stock. Somehow throughout it all he’d kept hold of the card on which his item had come, now dampened by rain and bereft of both its plastic bubbles and what had been in them. Besides illustrations, all that was there now were the two monochromatic panels where these had been, the smaller one roughly rectangular and its outline that of a little toy van.

You Knew Full Well I was a Snake, Chapter One
A heatwave tipped to break midweek hadn’t disappointed the would-be weather-prophets. Rain sweeping in from the sea drove relentlessly down against souvenir shops and ice-cream stands, while the black sky above touched the small coastal resort’s shivering pinnacles and turrets. Through javelins slanting Main Street’s span Jenny hurtled full-pelt, jostling dumbfounded forms wrapped up in plastic macs, and spilling showers from precarious umbrellas already pitted against the gale.

The Shot That Matters
The month of March enters the final 10 days, and the Colorado Avalanche have already racked up 100 points in the standings for the fifth straight season, which is a franchise record. In addition, the Avs locked up a playoff spot on Friday with our win over the Blackhawks. Our job is definitely not done. We still have to create some distance from the Dallas Stars, as we entered this day only three points ahead of Dallas in not only the Central, but in the entire league.
