Cassandra's Tales and Truths
Cassandra’s Tales and Truths tells the stories that plague the dreams of an unwilling oracle hounded by her own insecurities. Aided by a more senior oracle, Cassandra offers up allegories to her unnamed and only vaguely described clients with messages based on the Delphic Maxims (or updated versions of such).
Notes from Dusk Desk - Story 13
They say discomfort is the beginning of growth, but honestly, it isn't always. I'm uncomfortable right now.

Story 12 - Simple Conversations
[Editor's note: It's getting to be a tradition to start these notes with an apology, and I hate that. But I'm sorry for the unannounced month hiatus. Real world burn out happened that I hope to make a full essay about just to explain.]
You: Speaking can be difficult some time. But it can be harder to know what to say. And yet, there are some strategies that work better than others.
"Simple Conversations" - a tantalizing offer, just not for the one who meets the goddess
...
Notes from Dusk Desk - Story 12
Is it a strategy? Perhaps, but that just means there is a pay off, even if it isn't one you can see.

Story 11 - Locks and Breaks
[Editor's note: I'm so sorry for another late episode. The next notes episode will go up tomorrow, and then--hopefully--it's all on time from there. But I didn't realize how much bronchitis had wrecked my daily life until I was finally well enough to play catch up. I'm hoping I dug myself out now.]
You: Does anyone have everything figured out? You think you do, and that's why so many things look to be going your way, but it's just appearances, isn't it?
"Locks and Breaks" - Things always slip out. A y...

Story 10 - The Barter
[Editor's note: I'm so sorry for another late episode. My lungs are still wrecked from bronchitis. It's not the dreaded C, tests show. I just don't have particularly strong lungs. The weather and doom scrolling certainly haven't helped.]
You: It seems foolish to you, that you care, that you appreciate, but it isn't. Cosmic debts can be repaid, only if you keep certain things in motion.
"The Barter" - A dying man and a last hope seemingly out of reach, but events don't happen in isolation. Not entirely anyway.

Story 9 - A Matter of Substance
[Editor's note: I'm so sorry this episode is over a week late. A bad bout of bronchitis delayed this episode.]
You: You thought you understood the assignment, as it were. You thought you knew what to do. You're determined. Maybe too much so.
"A Matter of Substance" - Two objects both alike in material. But there's so much more to their stories than that.

Story 8 - Hidden Attachments
You: An ongoing problem seemingly has a simple solution. But is the solution really so simple? Or is it a solution? Who Knows what may come with it.
"Hidden Attachments" - A young man finds misfortune and makes the most of it. Well, he just escapes his fate and takes on another.

Story 7 - The Smallest Thing
[Editor's note: The publication date for the story episodes of Cassandra's Tales and Truths is being officially moved to the 20th. This will allow me to produce the episodes I want to make consistently.]
You: Time has never been your friend, has it? Sometimes it has worked against you, and yet, you foiled it in one clear way. Maybe you need to reconsider a thing or two. Just to make the most of it.
"The Smallest Thing" - A ghost is forced into a predicament. By sheer virtue of being a g...

Story 6 - Found Meaning
[Editor's note: Apologies for the delayed episode again! And once again, it was a job related issue. I genuinely don't want this to be a habit and will do my best to make sure next month's story is on time.]
You: Clever but little do you know you often miss the point.
"Found Meaning" - Just a moment. But a moment that did not have to happen. Even when things seem to be set in stone, you may not be reading the tablet properly.

Story 5 - Distant Knowledge
[Editor's note: Apologies for the delayed episode! My day job was particularly stressful the week leading up to this episode release, and problem solving burned through my creative energy.]
You: The student, learning much but knowing little. Or that's how you see it. You made mistakes to get here, and now that you are at the next stage, the doubts are the loudest voice in your mind. May I present you another?

You: Cling to memories like they were the companies you miss so ardently. Miles away from your home and all who are there, and the consequences of this are hard for you to manage.

Story 3 - Two Fates, Two Fortunes, One Choice
You: Ambitious, to say the least. But you would ask that I add successful. You win often. You win the sort of figurative game that comes with great prizes. But what do you do with it all? With more than you could have ever imagined.
Two Fates, Two Fortunes, One Choice - A nobleman rushed into battle and claimed a prize he does not understand. But certainly, he would understand morality and ethics. That is what you would think.
