The Grave Marker of the Musical Four

The single stone that marked the resting place of four brothers whose spectral ballad still gathers listeners after dark.

Ruby-red fragments from the crystal decanter that preserved beauty by consuming fragments of the drinker's soul.

A burlap-headed scarecrow whose changing gaze warns whether danger approaches from the field, the forest, the farmhouse—or the observer.

A red-and-gold guardian lion commissioned to keep wickedness outside, but determined to confront dishonesty within its own household.

A flowered tea caddy with a painted heron that crosses its landscape one stolen dream—and one cup—at a time.

A flawless jack-o'-lantern that copies itself across nearby pumpkins, grows with admiration, and eats whatever disrupts its idea of perfection.
