ORIGIN: The Brush gave us a teddy bear getting in between a kiss. But recycling is important, and most stories go on after The End anyway. The kingdom wasn’t mine, and I never learned to ride a horse. I gave my first kiss in exchange for a teddy bear. I was tired of plucking daisy […]

ORIGIN: It’s all there in the eyes. The tiger is missing a few stripes, but most dreams start as a rough outline anyway. And we like conjoined twins. I like reading between the lines. Those little things that don’t meet the eye. I was told not to look into the sun. Never to ride into

ORIGINS: Do you see the seventh character in the original series? The one that has a motif of stars covering half of his face? His eye reminded us of a barrel. And the eye of the eighth character (the one with the motif of tears) reminded us of a pillow and a blanket. So, we
ORIGINS: The eye of the ninth character in the original series reminded us of a bird carrying a heavy rock on its back. And one of us has never been any good at telling greek myths apart. Why can’t the one that had to roll a boulder uphill every day and the one that had
