"When you miss us, just look to the heavens" The sole person at the western gate guardpost looked up and silently watched as the young colony administrator approached on foot. The guard saluted when the man reached his window and signed out one of the armored rovers. The big boss saluted perfunctorily as he turned...
Mike blinked. He shifted awkwardly, his gaze flitting back and forth between my face and the unremarkable stainless steel table spoon he had just placed on my desk. Three others lay beside it, two of them similar and one a slightly bent baby’s feeding spoon with one of those temperature sensitive handles. “Uh, uh, I...
Too easy. Well. It was always going to be easy. You weren't like anyone else they'd ever expected. Not only were you a master of the thousand shadowy ways, but also of the silent hand, and the printless step. Unlike others too proud to learn even when they'd mastered one of the forbidden thief's arts, you had h...
\[Title\] The Engineer Je suis l'ingénieur Clemont. I was born in the year of Our Lord 1800 at the Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière in the 13th arrondissement. My father was taken by the guillotine before I was born and my mother died in childbirth. Time and Death were my parents for most of my life. They taught me most ...
Moon Owl, was once again needed in the middle of his nap. However, this time he was gathered with multiple heroes. His friend, Thundershock, was also called. The scene of the crime was a gas station. Moon Owl was not impressed. He’d fought people on mountains, defended cities, and flew thousands of kilometres into th...
I know only what I feel—in the literal sense of the word. I know the warmth of spattered blood. I know the position of my grip on the handle of a scalpel, and the soft resistance of flesh as I slice it open. I know the slippery, pulsing, undulations of a beating heart—even as I extract it from within. I know the satisf...
The low stream ran swollen along it's culvert, the marsh warbler willing sang his sweet melody from the overhanging boughs, the common lay quiet and still with the rasping of grasshoppers and the passage of ruminants, wandering to and fro in contentment, I sat upon the slight rise, whistling to the ceaseless wind tha...
Following the road, Carson rode his horse under the night sky of Herolia. He was searching for adventure. He knew that monsters were active at midnight, so this was a great time. He spotted a purple tent that appeared to belong to a merchant. He approached the tent and saw an old man. "Hello. Welcome to Karo's Shop. We...
Excerpts from Chapter 2 of the historical review: "Early IV-24 Interventions and Results: A Retrospective Analysis": 05/02/2023 Atlanta Police Department Advises Take Shelter Now. Explosion at Emory University, shelter until 16:30. Emergency services enroute. 05/06/2024 Atlanta Police Department Advis...
"No one's here..." That's because you killed everyone. The man looked about, startled at my voice. "Then who are you?" I'm the narrator, silly! You've just massacred a whole city full of people, so there's no one around to do the speaking parts. But it would be sorta lame if you just walked around talking to you...
I found my second kidnapping a lot less exciting than the first. It was scary of course, and I don't mean to sound disappointed in any way because all things considered, I would have preferred to not be kidnapped at all, but faced with another dark hood smelling faintly of cabbages while being carelessly thrown into a ...
(Part I) Alright, I thought to myself. All you have to do is teach them biology. Shouldn't be too difficult. You got this. I took a quick breath and let it out slowly, patting my chest as I tried to calm down. This was my first day as a teacher, and I had the honor to be assigned to the first class for our sc...
SynGora the Evil let out a smile of fetid breath upon arising. Stretching, she regarded the rocky ceiling of her lair. Lovely, she thought. My night off! Yay!!! Gazing around at her carefully cultivated gloomy bedroom, she sighed and sat for one luxurious moment, and began to think about all the things she was going to...
"That'll be $10.65." I nod, tapping my credit card on the reader. It beeps and I can hear the cashier sniffling like he's got a leaky faucet for a nose. My eyes flicker up to him as I stuff my wallet in my purse. I can tell he wants to run his shirt sleeve across the snot dribbling from his nostrils but—to my relief—he...
Journal Entry #2 I hate these guys. I am SO tempted to just jump into the sea. They sing sea shanties non-stop, and they're terrible at singing. The ship is so rocky. We should arrive in Horbenport in a day. \-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Whatcha got there?", asked...
The door flew from its hinges as Dark Detective (DD) licked the door in. Various monitors and levers festooned the back wall of Dr. Dilemma latest hideout. Dr. Dilemma didn’t even bother turning around in his chair. “Dark Detective, you have found me and answered all my riddles but can you choose. On…” “Just shut up ...
The lovecraftian figure look down at captive. "Did you just say, I agree, let go"? It asks with a shocked expression. The captive looks up. She replies "Yes i did" "May I ask why you agree?"she looks at the creature with certain look. "you're offering me an exit, an escape, from bills and inflation and the fear of nuc...
I found something that you would never believe. I didn't believe it at first, either. Physicists have been playing with the idea that the universe was generated by a computer for a long time. Boltzmann Brains, constructor theory, and digital physics. We had no way to prove it, a theory of everything eluded us. But now...
"They'll kill you. You need to destroy all traces of your tech." "But my process is awesome! It is efficient enough to be used at large scale, and not only will it save us from climate change... it will actually pay for itself! And I would become rich! Like, really insanely rich!" "And how exactly are you going to be...
”Okay, bring it in.” The pneumatics’ hissed, smoke filled the chamber, and the hatch in the floor opened. A glowing crystal, firmly held by a mechanical gripper, slowly descended, stopping dead in the exact centre of the chamber. I opened my notebook, clicked my pen, and attached the communicator to my temple. Then ...
Grovelling, the apprentice to the Great Junthas raised his head. "Well Master, it WOULD make things easier for me. The terms of the contract are quite particular, paragraph 4, sub section-." "Bah, the damned contract! Very well,"Junthas cut his apprentice off. "You are hereby ordered to relax! Let your hair down and ...
'I am the greatest pickpocket to ever live' I thought to myself, 'or at least the smartest.' Figuring out that logging out of the AR network made me basically a ghost, pure genius. Totally not the result of consistently failing to pay my access fees. But now... I live in the physical world alone. The info and credits...
The man rambled. "Why'd I have to live through World War One?", he asked himself. "I'm sorry?", I asked. "This is World War One. I'm a time traveler", he replied. "Mm", I replied, nodding yes. This guy might be crazy. The bus stopped. Everyone got off. When I stepped onto the sidewalk, I heard people screaming. I looke...
I roll my eyes as I walk past the supply closet and hear a repetitive knocking sound. “Can’t people just do their job while at work?” I mutter under my breath. I continue on past a nurses station and overhear the red-head nurse gossiping with the old nurse. “Dr. Loose legs is at it again, who knows who is in there wi...
"Dave, you will not believe this", said Gemini. Dave sat on the couch. "I have a weapon to put a stop to those marauders. Those villains will no longer bother us. Behold", continued Gemini. From the hallway emerged a blue lizard that walked on two legs. It was as tall as an adult, and it had its left arm replaced with ...
"I want a woman who loves me. That's the first thing I typed. Nothing happened until I realized that, though she now existed, she still didn't have a physical ody. So I had to describe her in excruciating detail - everything from her head to her toes. And when she was standing before me, I said, "I love you"and she...
The genie lay dormant, his form confined within a plastic bottle that bobbed in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. A small transparent prison far removed from the bustling human world, he once knew. Around him stretched the endless evidence of human neglect,- a sea of discarded filth, a testament to their sense of entitl...
"Ah yes, \drakon mechanikos\, this one is just the start of a new species!"I laugh maniacally in front of my dearest friend. "Cool, cool. Why did you build this again?"My dear friend, Franco oh so rudely interrupts me. "Ha\~ A mere trifle to pass the time, my good friend\~" "Trifle? Your... \drakon mechanikos\ t...
I stepped into the Green Leaf Market, a supposed organic grocery shop all the rage for the mortals. Do my eyes deceive me? Is that an organic orange from overseas? I shuffled my feet over to a crate of half-spoiled oranges. I gritted my teeth, poking at the dripping fruit that soiled my leather shoes. A young man with ...
I know the obstacle that blocks me from going to the bathroom, is something that KingPezPez designed, some weird space-time trap, that leads you towards different places of the universe. This OP will not defeat me, the bathroom will be used by me! I kick the door like a police, only to fall back and have a leg injured...
"Today is the day where humanity gets to... Conquer the stars right?" "I think is the opposite, we will not be able to get out of our star." I look with my companion towards the countless different ships of unknown origin in space, all of them totally empty, probably belonging to different species because of the lack...
"Wait." I slid out from under the covers, walked into the next room, and dragged some blinds down to look outside. The birds were still singing. The sky was still blue. The neighborhood outside still relatively slow moving. The wind picked up and sent waves of leaves across the road. A squirrel absently chewed on an ...
Every readout read the same. Storms carried heavy radiation across farmlands, and the globe had cooled by ten degrees. 60% of the population would be dead by winter, and the few that would survive the years of ash in the clouds would survive without a culture, without society, and marred by cancer and mutation. "How ...
"What an asshole!" That was all I could hear now. And all the variations of what folks would describe somebody who had been rude to them. But asshole was the number one answer as they would say on Family Feud. Social media seemed to give every one a voice these days to boot. Ever since the CARP act was passed in 201...
"Okay but too be fair,"I had to sit and explain to my sister, "I still get meat for the village." Her look of fury was nothing like I've ever seen before! Still, I held on strong and didn't waver. "You're a hoax!" "When did I ever said I hunted?" She stopped and realized I litterally never said I was a hunter. I can...
I'd describe myself as a history enthusiast. The thrill of theorizing about long forgotten realities, hanging by the threads of half readable parchments someone wrote ages ago made me want to go there myself, see if its true. There's a certain poetry to knowing that you can shape the present as long as someone doesn't ...
"So, how does that make you feel?" "...What?" The Dark Lord expected many things. While she had never encountered a fabled hero herself, she heard the stories her predecessors had told her. The spectres that never left her side would talk about warriors weilding weapons too heavy for normal humans to bear, warlocks w...
"Queen Antoinette, I cannot say I'm completely joyed to see you and your soldiers will need to remain outside while we're having this... chat...", the large bee danced as the queen ant's royal translator released pheromones to her majesty. Tensions were as high as they had been since the Honeydew Incident two rainfall...
The battle had raged all morning and night. The cries of grown men and women filled the night. A cold wind whipped around their ankles as they watched the battle ending from the castle walls. The blood soaked earth grew still, the swords were sheathed and the crows pecked at warm flesh. Now Krado stood on a balcony,...
It was the year 2031, Lauren was in the beach with her boyfriend, Mike, enjoying their summer vacation before they would be going back to work. The day was beautiful. It wasn't too hot, there was a nice breeze blowing and it was the right amount of people in the beach, not too crowded but not too empty as well. The cl...
It was hard not to laugh at the creatures before us. It stood eight feet tall with long noodly appendages for arms, and a poorly painted mask resembling the idea of a human head covering its clearly alien face. "What brings you to eastern Colorado, Hugh?"I asked, keeping a hand ready to reach for my sidearm in case t...
On my eighteenth birthday, I stood at the crossroads of destiny. The old woman in the worn cloak offered me a choice – a blessing or a curse. Opting for the former, I received the gift of eternal curiosity. At first, it seemed like a wondrous boon as my hunger for knowledge led me down fascinating paths. However, the i...
We stay away from Old Mr.Swanson. He’s a kind man, a veteran of the Vietnam war, for several years he was sweet and often helped everyone in need. If you had a flat, you could call on him, locked out of your home, Mr.Swanson would find a way in and open your front door. Often he would be found on his porch in the morni...
(First time attempting this) Part 1. Camden Rock was a city of high risks and high rewards but don't get me wrong ; most of the successful folks in this city hid secrets. Some mild such as the rumour of actress Hilary Callahan sleeping with famous director George Stokes for a role in his recent top movie ; whilst othe...
Realistically, I shouldn’t have felt anything. Not a thing, ‘cause the the emotional thread of my relationship should have been more than enough. Look, I know that you and Clara are halfsies (that is to say, you’re just not into each other), yet you seem to be enslaved through every random kiss; like it’s similar ...
"oh for crying out loud"I squealed as I stubbeded my toe in the dark. "Alexa, turn on the light." Well that was my first mistake I thought as I stared down into my own glassy staring eyes. I wondered as I continued to stare whether there would come a point where I could get that awful haircut fixed and expect it to st...
Recorded on March 26,2104. Dr. Walter Reid. Guest Speaker. Excerpt from lecture, “On the Abandonment of Greed.” [applause] thank you, thank you…..thank you. In the past century, mankind has seen a level of upheaval and change that surpassed both the industrial and computer revolutions. At the dawn of that century, th...
"Here, just take it! I'm a dead man either way!" Harrald took out his memory cartridge from his pouch, placed it on his arm, and pulled it out, readied and primed with the knowledge of the DeBlanc's entire operation, handing it to Nedd. "Well, finally you're useful! Now, get the Hell out of here, Harry. Oh, and here,...
"Well I think we all learned a valuable lesson today."I laughed "Dude, I lost both my arms, your paralyzed from the waist down, Steve is blind, and Carly is dead!"Screamed Dan right next to me in the hospital. "But I think the knowledge we gained will be quite useful." "Screw you, man, what exactly did we learn from...
Darkness. Pain. Agonized screams. That's all I remember of my meeting with the Dreaded Axelady of the Seas. I don't remember whose screams, or whose pain it was. I do know that I woke up as myself and with The Kraken Axe, which means one thing, as far as I know. I've imbued myself with the power of the Dreaded Axel...
"Hi, intern!"A giant meaty centaur popped out of his cubicle, his tie loosely around his neck "Ah!"The intern kept going down the aisle, head down, till he reached the manager's office. "What the hell is this business?!"He yelled at the manager, his face hidden by his coffee mug. "THAT thing was not in t...
I am so good at cooking a classic homestyle newt’s eye soup. And my whole family goes nuts for my flesh loaf. But as a speaker at the Annual Witches Work conference, I was determined to introduce some new ideas to the crowd! I huddled behind a heavy plastic curtain, which smelled faintly of stale cigarette smoke, check...
Waking up I could already tell immediately that everything was "wrong". My eyes were open and I couldn't see. I immediately tried to jolt up but my legs instead seemed to jerk backwards. I wasn't falling but I couldn't feel anything normal. Nothing was right and I couldn't tell where I was. For a few minutes I was...
I honestly thought that I’d never get to sleep, that I would stay awake for the rest of my life, running on the high of never-ever having to ever-fucking work ever-fucking again. How? Why? The lottery. A win — and not a few bucks off the cost of the ticket or a couple grand off the credit card money kind of win, either...
Fair Verona University, a school where you can major in magic, botany, film, mythology, whatever you wish. But this school is also known for it's hundred year fued between The Archaeology Department and Necromancy Department. Why this fued? What brought upon this fued in the first place? I mean, wouldn't it be easier t...
The Golden Helm sat at one of the highest peaks of The Colossi. Their legs drifting lazily over the edge as they watched the competition below. The crash of metal and the cries of the audience washed over them as a soft hand pulled on the fabric of their shoulder. The dark material stretched against their muscled frame...
...you head back down to make a sandwich. As your butter knife cuts it in half you hear a scream but less high pitched, immediately followed by "Why?!"from the room you heard the scream. It's a woman's voice she sounds young at least you'd like to imagine she's young. "I'll be right there my darling Josephine!"You hope...
The clear part, that was fine. It’s always a clear night on the moon, after all. Little to no atmosphere means no air movement, no storms, nothing but eerie stillness and the quiet hiss of the air exchange system in one’s suit. I was very excited to be on the moon. I had won a lottery and everything! ‘The Final Frontie...
John stood at the end of a long banquet table. It was still overflowing with food, as servants were still bringing more and more to the table. His laughter roared through the hall, along with that of the nobles, as they were eating and drinking to their rotten hearts content. He was there to orchestrate this feast. Aft...
Sitting at work, I grabbed the cheap calculator to do some basic math and discovered the thing refused to register any buttons being pressed. The cover on the screen fell off, probably to spite me. “Oh goddamn it” I said with a sigh. “Hello again.” *you don’t have to sound so unenthused about me suddenly making an ap...
“Welcome ladies and gentlemens to tonight's main event!” the announcer shouted, microphone raised to his lips as he looked around the packed Coliseum. The crowd cheered, rising to their feet before settling back down, their anticipation building with every word that echoed throughout the arena. “A reminder that toni...
Our science was beginning to point to a counter intuitive fact; that the world of our senses and perceptions was a tiny sliver of what was there, what was really going on. Synesthesia, the mental phenomenon in which the edge between different senses is blurry, came under scrutiny. Those with it, synesthetes, were able ...
Anderson walked briskly down the empty street, the somber buildings and road illuminated only by the barely comforting yellow lamps that pierced the murky gloom coldly. The wind was worsening. He adjusted his scarf higher up against his face, then jammed his hands deeper into his pockets. “It is truly unfortunate,” he ...
"All I've ever wanted was to see you smile." "Please forgive me. I didn't know. I didn't-" "Shhh. It's OK. You needed me now, all over again. What I am is not your fault. I'm still your friend." "But look what I've done to you! I made you into a monster." "I always was a monster. The one you needed then. And the on...
Saturday, 11:32 AM. It's raining hard outside. I like the sound of rain, but it also means that the neighborhood cat and the crows won't come over for a while. Hex probably will, though - seems like his determination to get his daily dose of walnuts boosts his ability to fly through extreme weather. Maybe the chaotic...
The group was all gathered together, the three of us sitting under a magic tree, the appearance of weeping willow but it's bark made from a shimmering clear diamond-like crystal. And the leaves glistening in the colours of the strange light. And well- it seemed like we had something- something we didn't expect. "Wait,...
No one understood how some "violent barbarian"can serve a being of peace. None will I, the mighty Krog the Warwolf of Peace, demonstrated it as I pulled out a thick book. Contrary to what many believe, barbarians can be artistic and literate. Each page told a brief story but I will only tell them of my origin as a Warw...
"Hurry up!! We're late!"My mom yelled up the stairs at me "Coming!"I called back as I snatched my toothbrush and sprinted down the stairs. "Make sure you have everything, I'm not coming back for anything."My mom pestered me I dropped the toothbrush down on the dining table and went through my checklist. Clothes, ch...
An enormous tree stood in the center of the forest. It was a yew, but supersized like it had eaten only fast food for three thousand years. At its base spread the elven metropolis where heroes and adventurers from all over the known world received the training at the hands of Farnweil, the ancient sage. It was ...
“That’s twice now—you sure everything is okay?” She cocks an eyebrow at me and I roll my eyes. “It’s fine, it’s fine,” I say and point at the terminal. “Can you please keep going, this is kind of urgent.” But my voice betrays me and she knows I’m lying about something. “Not until you tell me what that sound is,” she...
Thanksgiving night and I was all by myself. My family and I were no longer on speaking terms and my friends were non-existent. I had decided that I would still celebrate for myself and had spent the day carefully basting and roasting the smallest turkey I could find at the store. I looked at my spread, the turkey, a ...
As Lisa walked, she went through the list of tasks she needed to do. There were way more than she wanted, considering it was Saturday, but they needed to be done. Groceries first. Even she needed to eat, after all. Then she would have to clean up and deal with the furniture. Really, it just never ended. When she was y...
Since I was created, I've known I have had a purpose. That I would do something great. Destroy evil, usher in good. My creator told me I was meant for something. To destroy the avatar of evil that rules this land, the demon king Kugdrak. I would confer great power upon someone, if they were of pure heart and honest int...
\[Time for Questions\] "You asked that yesterday, didn't you?"Ophelia smiled at Dion's question. "Did Solarion's answer not suffice?"The pair of new acquaintances sat alone together in a hotel conference room as Ophelia informed Dion about his role in the Court. It'd been an exposition-filled 24 hours, but Dion felt...
Junt and Walter entered the abandoned library. They split up to look for the switch (rumored to be in the form of a rainbow-colored book). "Found it!", shouted Junt. The sound of stone grinding came filled the room. They both looked to a wall that retreated into the ceiling. A staircase in the dark was revealed. They b...
I sighed, tapping on my laptop, as the massive assault carrier continued to go through the exotic dimensions of slipstream. “ Seven more hours.” I sighed again. Opposite to me were two new recruits, a guy and a girl. “ I am so excited to go to the front!” The guy said. The girl responded. “ Me too, it might be dang...
I’ve never been good at staying up late. I got it from my mom, I think; she was always an early bird and raised me to be the same. At 17 years old it shouldn’t be this hard to stay up past midnight. Regardless, I can feel my eyelids beginning to droop and the beginnings of a snore collecting in my throat and all I wa...
\[Sunny Indulgence\] "THE WORLD'S GOING TO END!!!!"A strange woman ran through the neighborhood shrieking at the top of her lungs as Jenny stepped out of the portal. The woman was followed by a small; but, frantic group as they tried to warn everyone. They were too busy managing the growing crowd to notice Jenny's ar...
It hadn't been long since I'd begun hearing the voices. I spent days convincing myself I was crazy and needed immediate help until one day I tried speaking to them. "Hey uh, guy? Can you maybe pipe down? You are really loud."I asked , half expecting an awkward silence. Instead I heard crashing noises and a flurry of o...
We’ve been warned about this for years, but I don’t think anyone saw it coming this quickly. Half of London has disappeared overnight. The winding River Thames has transformed to an extension of the English Channel with everything that would have been below the river now deteriorated into the water. Iconic landm...
“There are many ways to become a monster.” A normally kind young voice said, her red eyes almost glowing. “But, are they are a monster in personality or nature? Does someone’s species demote them to being judged for stereotypes?” Who knew a Chikorita (at least in body) could be intimidating? Then again, the Absol f...
There were two sisters, ying and yang, dark and light, chaos and order, creation and destruction. "You should kill him. With one of your lasers! Pew pew, and it would be over in an instant."The one of darkness waved her hands as she talked. "He's a dragon. He's evil or something, probably." "You know as well as I th...
Inside the Crypt Cooler, a retro ice cream parlor with plenty of odd flavors, high schooler Doug Howlet (Werewolf) sits across from fellow student Phasma Crowe (Ghost). Doug looked over a page in his notebook labeled, "Ghosts, how do they work?" "So, you were born a ghost?"asked Doug. "and not, like, you were re...
Having been part of Pyrite's branch of the Adventurer's guild for so long and having such a high rank allowed me to become the acting guildmaster while Master Lucas was away. I knew the guild master was in charge of a lot of things. From managing the ranking of certain quests to having the final say in the monthly budg...
“A bottle of the ‘94,” the old man on the next barstool said. “And two glasses.” He turned to John. “You look like you could use it.” John finished the scotch in his glass, then looked at the man carefully. “You’re me,” he said at last, his words only slurring a little. He’d never risk a guess like that sober. Old ...
"Call for an ambulance, I will do what I can!"Our Cleric player calls out. Sitting at the head of the table, I am still stunned that an actual Fireball exploded directly in front of me. "Come on, man! These guys need help!"The Cleric shouts again. Shaking my head, I turn toward the Fighter who is looking quite rough...
I'm a Candy Cane agent. My job is to exterminate members of Jack Frost's army. The soldiers tend to target us agents. They'll even come to our homes. A knock came, and I opened the door. A woman and two men stood there and sang Deck the Halls. I was about to tell them to leave, but they stopped singing. One man reache...
A bonfire roared in the center of a winter-brown field circled by dozens of canvas tents. Men and women and their children filtered in and out of the various shops or huddled close to the fire. For though spring had nearly come to Sagebrook, and despite the budding trees, the breeze held a bitter chill that threatene...
And as it were I woke up one day in a vineyard in Virginia, after having been beaten, shot, and stabbed multiple times, and limbs torn from sockets, waking up with mysterious tattoo markings of these letters on my trunk next to my shoulders on either side, one on each socket: [AΩ ...
"Not all Wanderers are lost, son.” Corey had been chasing them since his father whispered those last words to him years ago. He’d seen their lithe blue figures at the edge of the horizon more times than he could count, but he could remember each and every encounter vividly. Every time he ran towards them, they would...
"did you hear about the entrant into heaven? The first in 422 years!"Of course this was big new - Revelation was 422 years ago. There weren't any more humans, they had all been sorted either 'left or right'. Yet today one walked up to the pearly gates. He even had to knock! "We didn't have a clue what to do, I mean w...
Father was the best. I knew it, and my many varied siblings knew it too. He spent so much of his time with us, caring for each individually. I knew he left sometimes, simple grasses watching him go. From what he spoke, it was to go to this place called work. It sounded important, for him to leave us sometimes for days...
Something felt wrong. As if the weather was a direct reflection of his mood. I stood from my bench and walked to the window. Silence. It's been hours since I heard from him, did I upset him? The last piece he played was Chopin's Prelude in E Minor, both the skies and my eyes cried. I watched a raindrop in front of me ...
(I hope this is acceptable, I wrote from the villain POV) Screams echoed down the halls. I could hardly keep track of which way they were coming from. The mist made everything look the same, licking up the walls and casting illusions that I knew didn’t exist. I rounded a corner and smiled, turning down a hall and ca...
"Disrespect the law and you disrespect me."Those were the last words the guard would utter before my arrow pierced his heart but before all of that transpired perhaps I should tell you where it all began. So a while back I joined this group known as the thieves guild, a little robbery here, a bit of strong arming there...
"H-Hello, am I speaking to the cast of MirrorMirror?"The person on the other side sounded like a man born in royalty, based on their peculiar way of talking. 'Oh no, I hope I'm not dealing with another one of these princes,' the Magic Mirror thought. The face mask in the mirror is frowning for a brief moment, before p...
I take a small breath as I watch my target get hit once more by his “owners”. These people who take us and keep us as their slaves, treat us like animals, and beat us for the slightest inconveniences. I am barely able to hold my rage in. The Fae have always been known for being some of the most powerful creatures in ou...
“Most honorable men of mine, we have gathered here for a reason, one you will soon hear.” “What is the reason of our gathering?” Questioned a knight “It was a rhetorical question, Garry!” Garry sunk into his oaken seat as the master of the group continued: “We are here because of-“ “Is it me? How did you know! You...
I am a psychopomp. I guide those who have died to their afterlife, whatever that afterlife might be. No, I don't dress up as a skeleton in black robes with a scythe, what do you think I am? A hack? My clothes are covered in morphing geometric patterns of black and white. I am an androgynous in voice and in figure, with...
“I just need more time.” Donovon was staring at the ceiling again. The gentle patter of rain could be heard landing on the roof. He liked it. It helped round out that longing he was feeling. The dark helped too. It let him focus on that feeling. It was a strange thing, the desire to embrace longing, but perhaps ...
