Winter Palaces and Ice Ballerinas
It snowed last night, first it came down softly, then hard. My father was watching the news this morning, and told me that my school was cancelled because of the slick ice on the roads. My mother said that Jack Frost had done a good job last night. I could tell he did too. The […]

War and Pieces (Part I)
Misha experiences the first signs of unrest in the Donetsk region of Ukraine Prologue Misha was the one who showed me a dove for the first time.
