Cause and effect. Opposite and equal reactions. If a butterfly... You know how it goes. The point is that your actions, large or small, have consequences. If they turn out good or bad is often not up to you. Especially when you live with the Princess.

Dedicated to Short Stories

Octavia and Vinyl tell each other meaningful stories about key aspects in life.

One was a story that was learned and shared.

The other story is told through a blank picture frame.

And even though a blank picture frame seems like, literally, an ordinary, blank picture frame, it turns out there is far more to it than meets the eye.

They learn something out of it.

Dedicated to all my followers. I appreciate all the support you give me!
