The tiny kingdom of the Ozure Isles is the Kashmir or Shangri-La of Oz;
perched on five islands in Lake Orizon, surrounded by high mountains in a remote
region of Munchkin Land, it has little contact with the outside world—of Oz,
that is. The beaches are not sand but gemstones; the people travel between their
islands not by boat, but by seahorse. Or they used to, before the evil witch Mombi turned her malice in the Ozure direction. After
kidnapping Queen Orin, Mombi left a fire-breathing lake monster named Quiberon
in Lake Orizon to keep the natives prisoner.[1]
Even after Mombi is vanquished, the isolated Ozurites remain oppressed. Views: 284
Short Story. Others of Ryad’s people have given up trying to free their destined lovers from the glacier. Only one will dare fight the ice after nightfall and for Naia’s sake he must succeed.This is a play written for radio but would suitably serve as a staged play. It sets to highlight the subtle new trend that is recently becoming evident amongst educated couples in emerging developing economies. The previously traditional conservative chauvinistic denial that had seen husbands out rightly refusing to let their spouses pursue every twist and turn in their preferred public careers, has been un-noticeably replaced with a highly misconstrued make-believe cooperation.It presents the modern wife with hopes that are still quite limited by her very own, age old self-shackling desire to be the good wife/mother firstly, and not practically her spouse’s economic and intellectual inability to dictate to her. He is limited to exploiting her only by relying solely on this one over-powering desire of hers.In a modern African cosmopolitan suburb reside two couples, who are very close flat neighbours. The younger couple is a newly married pair, while the much older couple already has teenage children. Though both men are gainfully employed, their equally well educated spouses are uncomfortably unemployed housewives.The articulated relationship the middle-aged couple had willingly shared with a highly principled civil society worker culminated in a genuine praxis that jarred both couples’ older and newer marriages with a reasonably honest intellectual quake of sincerity. The experience is a rude awakening for the two sets of couple and becomes a basis for the supposedly superior masculine gender to learn first hand that indeed what is good enough for the goose is good enough for the gander.The play is about only two of these couples’ normally quiet mornings.

**Maplebrook**, such a quiet and peaceful place to live, but underneath it all is a hidden world where the last remnants of strange history sleep in a world where **magic** used to be real and out in the open. Just when it seemed that it would be snuffed out for good - a spark, and passion fans the flames.
Thea - I'm just an average small business owner, I run a cafe and I make *killer* muffins. There's nothing really out of the ordinary about me, except that I come from a long line of witches. Shh it's a secret. I help a lot of people with gentle nudges toward happiness, too bad it doesn't seem to want to happen for me.
Gunner - Everyone's good at something, and I'm good at riding my bike and tattooing. Good enough to own my own shop and keep my twin brother out of too much trouble at that. But there's something about the owner of that cafe across the parking lot that I just can't shake.
Mike - The last thing I want is a relationship, I've had enough trouble with women to last me the rest of my life. That doesn't explain why I can't take my eyes off of Thea, or how good it is to have someone that just listens. Maybe I should, what can it hurt? Views: 284
