Featured Work
The Freight Train in the Sky
On nights when the moon is full and the wolves howl, Paul stays up late staring out the second-story window of his orphanage. He dreams of a night when he can ride aboard the freight train of stars and constellations that travels across the sky. On one particular night, Paul notices a shooting star shoot fierce across the sky, and without thought wishes to be among the stars.
