@ Chimaera - Post Card

Purple Flower Power Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

Chimaera - Post Card
A cryptic postcard mailed from an exotic shore, blank but for an address. What does it mean? The story is yours to write.

@ Chimaera - Patron Deer
"I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Amberalia, after she and Zach had spent some time in the virtual reality chamber.
"Is there a gift shop at the end?" enquired Zach. "The thought of that generally keeps me going."
Chimaera - Patron Deer
Conjured and called, your patron stands regally at the ready to chase away bad omens and troublesome thoughts.

@ Chimaera - Antique Declaration
"In our tour brochure it says red and yellow are the most appetising colours. The combination of these two colours boosts the appetite of the average person," said Zach.
"That makes sense," replied Blossom. "When you think that so many eateries incorporate those colours!"
Chimaera - Antique Declaration
Created to set generations on the right path, carefully crafted, worded and sealed, what soul will find how it resonated for time untold for the masses.

@ Chimaera - Seal of Approval
“They've got VR headsets for sale in the gift shop, Zach!” exclaimed Hearts. “I'm very tempted!”
”Wow!” said Zach. "I'm tempted myself, but I imagine a decent headset would cost a good few golden moles!"
Chimaera - Seal of Approval
Balancing an endless orb, sealed with anticipation of what could possibly be in that window? A universe to explore? Kitchen? Brewery? Does it matter to an explorer, not one whit, for you're ready for whatever may come!

@ Chimaeras - Parrot universe
Zach and Muschi shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Zach. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Muschi. “This is my best side.”
Chimaeras - Parrot universe
What just happened? One minute I'm on the street and the next I am transported to a space and time where parrots rule. What further madness awaits?

@ Chimaera - Countryside of Old
“You know what, Zach?” said Midnight love. “Seeing all these amazing images makes me want to take up videography myself!”
“Sounds like a great idea!" replied Zach. "There’s an evening class you can join when we get back!"
Chimaera - Countryside of Old
Travelling back in time, to a simple life of hard work, no distraction of electronic media, one could "tweet" with ink and pen, and gossip was at the town square.

@ Chimaeras - Street Art
Zach and FLEECE had shaken paws and were now taking time to enjoy the virtual reality show in a companionable silence!

@ Chimaera - Cut the RED Wire
“A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, Zach?” Buzz said.
“It certainly would, Buzz!" said Zach.
Chimaera - Cut the RED Wire
The clock is ticking, counting down the seconds, and it's up to you to cut the RED wire! But which red wire?
And then you wake up in a cold sweat, wondering forever if you cut the right one.........

@ Chimaera - Candlelight Dinner?
"Oh, Schnupfen, this VR part reminds me of something in the paper today," announced Zach.
"What's that, Zach?" asked Schnupfen.
"New sarcophagus unearthed in Eqypt! Archaeologists find a mummy wrapped in gold foil. It was the tomb of Pharaoh Rocher!"
Schnupfen groaned quietly.
Chimaera - Candlelight Dinner?
Is it real? Or just a clever ruse to confuse? The candle of eternal flame, or just a chalk drawing done in 3-D street art?

@ Chimaera - Story Time
“Let's just drink in this exhibit, shall we, Zach?” suggested Sweetums, sinking down on a convenient chair.
Zach agreed it was well worth spending some time there!
Chimaera - Story Time
What's that word? It looks like picnic, but it's got a few different letters?
It's panic. It means that you feel like you need to run away.
But I don't want to run away, I want to read what happens next, will she eat the porridge or not?

@ Chimaera - Water Drop
“Let's just drink in this exhibit, shall we, Zach?” suggested Midnite, sinking down on a convenient chair.
Zach agreed it was well worth spending some time there!

@ Chimaera - Parchment and Type
“If there's time at the end when we get back tonight, I might do some initial sketches for a surreal painting," Schnupfen said, offering Zach a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Schnupfen!" said Zach.
Chimaera - Parchment and Type
There's noting better to start an adventure than a crisp fresh sheet of parchment rolled into the typewriter, 26 letters awaiting your command of tales to be told.

@ Chimaera - Penmanship
"In our tour brochure it says red and yellow are the most appetising colours. The combination of these two colours boosts the appetite of the average person," said Zach.
"That makes sense," replied Mrs. Dylan. "When you think that so many eateries incorporate those colours!"
Chimaera - Penmanship
Slants! Take the time to use cursive to express your thoughts, but it's an art form, slanting to the right, leaning to the left. Remember, practice makes perfect.

@ Chimaera - Animated Rodent
Oh look ... you won a pet!
Chimaera - Animated Rodent
Did those whiskers twitch? Squinting and watching, there it goes again! On silent feet, padding down the wall, leading those with imagination down the rat hole for adventure.

@ Chimaera - Candy Box Houses
"I'm going to buy a framed print of that amazing optical illusion, Paddy," said Zach. "It'll go well with my glass maple leaf paperweight from Canada, and my model of Edinburgh Castle from when we went to Scotland."
"That sounds like a nice collection of mementoes, Zach!"
Chimaera - Candy Box Houses
Dancing colorfully in the valley of light, pastels of every colors remind you of those silly tasty marshmallow treats in the cereal box, one has to explore and see if they really taste the same!

@ Chimaera - Murderer's Row
"Did you know, Badger, that the exact same thing can taste differently depending on the colour of the crockery in which it's served?"
"So which colour crockery is best, then, Zach?"
"Experiments in which volunteers drank the same hot chocolate from mugs of four different colours—white, cream, red, and orange—found that the hot chocolate in the orange and cream-coloured mugs were considered better tasting than the other two."
Chimaera - Murderer's Row
It's a murder! Who's been killed? Why no one, it's just us perching high above, taking aim, be afraid, very afraid!

@ Chimaera - Whistle Stop
“Do you remember that scene in Johnny English Strikes Again where English thinks he's in a VR scene but he's really out in the streets and shops in London and starts attacking someone with a baguette?" said Avalanche.
Zach joined her in hearty laughter at the memory.
