  <description><![CDATA[Through the long winter, young monsters often grow restless within their dens...dens where they hole up for months as the icy season lingers. These being the places where they lay and dream of the sun and green leaves and thick chocolate cake on warm bright days. ... But the winter always holds a bit too long...Here is one lad who braves the cold day...

  <description><![CDATA[I've sometimes wondered where my things go. A misplaced set of car keys, my favorite pair of winter socks, the right sock gone missing after being placed within my dresser drawer. I now know that it is not so much faulty memory nor my wife misplacing such things... as I sat at my drawing table the other night, from the corner of my eye,a small being scampered across my floor. This is my recollection as best I can remember it.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[and forthwith...we found our vessel overcome as in a quiet meadow by the hand of some terror...that the late afternoon sea roiled and became mad. The vessel shook violently and took in much waters. 


Seaman Parker and I made for a life vessel in which we fruitlessly made for the rocky shores...
I daresay I remember naught... other than a lilting melody as if an angel's voice enveloped us and I found myself tumbling into the frigid waters. 

Reaching for a life buoy I looked about for Mr. Parker who previously was in ecstasy at the melody. I looked about for him... through the maddening turmoil I glimpsed a sight majestic… fascinating and frightening. I know not exactly what I have seen; suffice it to say it was
both beautiful and terrible. 


Was it a dream or the face of some maiden? No, it was a beast, a fish of some sort diving into the depths of this turmoil...all I can recall is its iridescent skin, rather scales rich in orange and speckled with jewel like stones. Such as it was the sea slowly became still once more.I know not what happened to Mr. Parker, the lad perished that day, drowned in the depths.


I do know those days before he hummed that same lilting unearthly melody.
He spoke of more which I cannot recall, the lad kept his thoughts in his journals which were lost with him that dreaded day upon the cold hard ocean waters.
