Title: Memories
Summary: Sheehan remembers
The kitchen was quiet now. Ever since her parents and oldest siblings had passed through to the shadow glade, the house was silent.
No singing.
No joking.
No laughter.
The only sound Sheehan could hear was the bubbling of her soup. She sighed. She had made too much soup. Cooking for six when there was only two.
Tears fell down her face as she thought of all the food that would be wasted. All the food that should have been eaten by the rest of her family. All the food that they would never eat again.

Title: Space
Summary: Ewan's home.
Their house wasn't large by any means. It was fine in the beginning with two people and no children. It was cosy, if a bit cramped, by the time there were several children.
However, when Ewan, the seventh child and only male, was born, there was scarcely any space to be found. Everything served two or more purposes and modesty was a dream of the past.
It was difficult for visitors to get use to. However, it was just as difficult for them to get use to space when visiting others.

Title: Wallflower Wannabe
Summary: Barbara as the middle child.
Notes: Chopped Nuts because Barbara is an only child. Though, if she had siblings, she would definitely be a middle child.
Being a middle child was never any fun if you wanted to stand out. Barbara never really had that problem.
She just wanted to be a quiet little book worm. But a wallflower stands out in a family of jocks and prom queens.
Sometimes, Barbara wanted to run away. Maybe she would end up in a place where she could disappear into her books and no one would snatch them from her hands. A place where it was okay to be a wallflower.
But those were just quiet dreams which had no place in her loud reality.

Title: Mamie's Tradition
Summary: Mamie has a tradition of spending time with all her neighbours.
Every moon Mamie would make extra food and invite a family to dine with them. As their town was small, there were only thirteen families with which they could dine. This was how Mamie had come to the idea.
Thirteen families and thirteen moons. One family for each moon in the year.
It was a wonderful chance to spend time with all of their neighbours and friends

Title: The Races
Summary: Barbara and Talbot take in an unusual activity.
"Ready." The announcer's voice boomed through the stadium.
"Set." Ten men leaned forward in their saddles, their hands gripping tightly to the reins.
"Go!" There was a flurry of flapping wings and the beasts were off.
"What are those?" Barbara whispered to Talbot.
Talbot laughed at her look of shock. "Dragons."
As much as Barbara had learnt to put her previous ideas of magic aside, it was still hard for her to believe she was actually watching a dragon race. It was even harder for her to believe those furry creatures were actually dragons.
