    A Lunar Eclipse (And The Man On The Moon)

    The boundary between knowledge and assumption can be so subtle that we can’t see the difference. But, an occasional perfectly-timed toss of a stone can hit that wall just right and shatter it. This is the story of Allister’s little cousin Benny and his perfectly timed toss.

    Candy From Strangers

    It's not always wise to take candy from strangers. But, who wants to always be wise? An adventure is an adventure. And Allister was never one to turn down an adventure.

    The Race To Awkward

    When two people first meet, it's always an unpredictable concoction of spontaneous connecting, random pausing and aimless floundering. And it was just like that on the fateful day when I first met Allister. And, as always, feel free to visit www.FairWeatherBelle.com for some merriment and tea*. *Tea not necessarily provided.

    An Attempt At Ending Fear

    When dealing with fear, whether it comes in the form of assumed fear (an assumed "haunted" house) or actual fear (an actual haunted house), it is always important to have a plan. This is the story of Allister's plan. And, as always, feel free to visit www.FairWeatherBelle.com for some merriment and tea*. *Tea not necessarily provided.

    To Fall In Love With A Tomato

    Love is not a very easy concept to understand. In fact, one could argue that it's not meant to be understood at all. But....if one wanted to understand it, one could (as Allister did) start by trying to love a tomato.

    An Explanation Of The Acceptance Of His Name

    With a name like Allister Cromley, you are bound to be mistaken for a certain early 20th century English occultist. This is a story of how and why Allister came to an understanding with this discrepancy (among others).

    New Year's Eve In A Cellar (Awaiting The Future)

    As the calendar ends and the world stares and waits for the clock's second hand to hit the year's final midnight, there is much anticipation. It could be anxiously joyful or anxiously...well...anxious. But, whether one likes it or not, a change is coming. This is the story of the turn of a century, a love of the past, a fear of the new and Allister's family waiting in a cellar.
