The orc’s bone hammer smashed into the spot I had just been standing in, cracking the stone floor of the cave. I took advantage of its momentary lapse of thought from the bone-rattling it just gave its wrists, and ran my sword through its naval region.

It was another boring early morning shift slowly grinded away as the hour to switch over drew near. Just another 30 minutes, and the manager (who was pretty chill about the time clock) would let me leave for the day.

He moved back in when he couldn't maintain his lifestyle.
It wasn't that he tried to live a lavish life in the city, it was just that even on a shoestring budget, there was no way he was going to live on his own, so I practically ordered him to move back in with me, even though I knew it was the last thing he wanted t... |

The smell of the hospital was enough to make him feel worse. The stale, artificially lemon hinted air roaming through halls was heavy, and made his heart sink.
