I recently suggested that it would be great if those wishing to write a short story to illustrate my images from the “Tale of the Unexpected<\/a><\/strong>” editorial for Harper’s BAZAAR Hong Kong to submit them to BKBlog. Well, I presently have three (3) that I want to share with you. Some really great stuff indeed. The first two illustrate Katie Fogarty and the Blue Chickens and the third story speaks to Katie and the Red Kettle. I have also provided the links to each of the very talented authors that contributed to this exercise. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Story 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Girl in Blue\u2211..<\/strong><\/span>
\nCornelia strode with determination through fields of blue-green grass undulating in the summer breeze. She called, but none of her brood ran to her with rapter toes extended like feathered dinosaurs. Fear clenched at her heart as she scanned the blue horizon. There, a sliver of black extending vertically like a javelin hurled from one world into the next. Cornelia’s shimmering midnight blue boots stepped closer. One red tipped hand caressed the air and the sliver expanded.
\nA doorway. Cornelia breathed in the heady cocktail of scents, and her gaze swept the unfamiliar. There, before her were her chickens, pecking at the ground in search of nourishment. But there could be no nourishment here in this shadow land.
\nShe should call them back, retreat to the cool lake in the emerald forest, but the lure of the unknown was so strong that Cornelia surrendered, and walked through the doorway into another world.

Story 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Conjuring Katie<\/strong><\/span>
\nThere once was a lovely young lady, for to conjure just speak the name, Katie. If you say it too quick, you\u2019ll get nothing but chicks, and blue feathers they\u2019ll grow for you maybe.
\nBut back to our magical mistress, and the deeds she will do on your hit list. Yes, you are correct in your suspects, that young Katie\u2019s herself a Hit-Lady.
\nA wizard of enormous proportions, suspected in court for extortion’s, once again conjured Kate. She appeared in a state interrupted, she was fraught, in contortions.
\nKate appeared in his library side door. Her distaste, she well knew, he would ignore. He pulled out his list, of whom he\u2019d have her hit. But she said, It will cost you your Concorde.
\nWell, to this the old man he did smile. His Concorde\u2019d been grounded a while. \u00a0So he said but of course, and I\u2019ll toss in my horse. Kate seemed pleased by his obvious guile.
\nWhen her job Kate had finished with speed, she awaited her payment, with glee. The grand wizard soon paid her what he thought she\u2019d asked for, but she said, How mistaken are thee.<\/p>\n

In what way? You\u2019ve my horse and my Concorde? Kate replied, Then you\u2019d best hit the road. I\u2019ve Conned not your Corde but your Conquered I\u2019ve scored. They\u2019re enchanted no more so take flight, wingless man. They\u2019re your foes.<\/p>\n

Story 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Mischievous Kettle<\/strong><\/span>
\nScarlet put the kettle on,
\nAnd donned her favourite gown,
\nHer darling deer turned twigs to fire,
\nThe kettle let her down.
\nIt would not boil the water,
\nIt spat and cursed and blew,
\nLord Lusciousness was due for tea,
\nJust what should Scarlet do?
\n\u201cYou\u2019re jealous, aged kettle!
\nI command you, make my tea!\u201d
\nYet still the kettle would not boil,
\nIntent on trickery.
\nThe water chilled while Scarlet paced,
\nHer deer made up a spell,
\nTo boil the tea and set things right,
\nThe deer was parched as well.
\nLord Lusciousness came knocking,
\nHe had no time for tea,
\nHis appetites were hot and fierce,
\nHe got down on one knee.
\n\u201cCome Scarlet, do not tarry here,
\nMy passion is aflame!\u201d
\nThey kissed, they fawned, they made sweet love,
\nThe kettle blushed with shame.
\nAnd so it is, dear readers,
\nPots and pans must know their station,
\nFor tinkers come for kettles,
\nThat will meddle with libation.<\/p>\n
