Why is The Trail Here?
Why is the trail here? Nature enthusiasts: Because it winds around picturesque valleys, ambles through a valley following the river to the sparkling sea, whispers its way through an old growth forest carefully preserved, and tiptoes through a swamp still very much alive with ancient crocodiles.

Bluebeard's Legacy
We all have one. At least. Here in Merrie Olde England, throw a rock, and you’re likely to hit some kind of landed aristocracy. As long as the dusty titles give the children access to Eton or Cambridge, we really don’t care about much else.

Sister Light, Sister Dark
I hope I didn’t smile as I watched them set the needle in his vein. Bloodthirsty? Me? Oh, honey, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Day 10 - It All Falls Apart
And we were doing so well… We got home. In one piece. But, [swear words redacted], it was stressful and angrifying. I love my husband, I really do. Really, I do.
