Twinny and the Rock

By Kimberly Cachia and Andrew Swaes

It all started one bright day at the beginning of spring. All the animals had come out of hibernation relieved that at long last winter had passed
But as all good stories go, all is not well that begins well. It happened that a young worm, Twinny by name, came across a huge, verdant, mysterious rock in the middle of the forest.
When she told her parents about her find, they were far from elated. Instead of congratulating young Twinny, they forbade her to go back, warning her that grave danger abounded upon the rock.
Now Twinny was faced with a grave dilemma!
Were her parents' words true? Was the danger real? Should she go back to the rock? Or should she listen to her parents' words and never return to it ever again?

Kimberly Cachia

Andrew Swaes lives with his trustworthy and devoted three-legged, one-eared companion, Echo (a semi-Rottweiler), and hails from a renowned tiny island slap-bang in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Constantly scribbling furiously away at his note pad, he tends to spend the bulk of his time fretting about capturing his thoughts on paper. On the other hand, once upon a time when the dinosaurs still roamed the earth (or at least so it seems), Kimberly Cachia met Andrew, her music teacher at the time, and they made beautiful music together. Now Andrew and Kimberly have combined their efforts in order to bring light into the world through a new medium, that of literature and art, and they fervently hope that their message is brought across to everyone's utmost enjoyment.

Springtime had finally arrived. The sun’s bright rays filtered through the leafy branches of the trees, settling in numerous pools of light on the leaf-littered ground below. Bees hummed peacefully about, searching for pollen. Squirrels skittered here and there as they foraged for nuts and acorns. Soon the entire forest was bustling with the sounds of life as all the sleepy-eyed animals awoke, many of them waking for the very first time after hibernating through the long, cold winter.

Amongst all these little creatures, the smallest of the
