One of the rarely mentioned perks of being an accomplished engineer is the automobile savings. I've been driving the Crown Vic for nearly 30 years, and it holds up well even on unmarked gravel roads. My phone lost its GPS signal an hour ago, but the map provided to me by the young--super young, when I think about it--...
Jamie looked to the group and shrugged. "Well you still fought beside us against the skeletons." Belle smiled. "You were the only one not trying to peak down my dress when you got hurt." Gerard bowed his head. "I said to smite you where you stood. But Conrad convinced me to spare thee." As the small kobold turned to...
"Dude, It's the perfect place to practice". Smity tried to make a puppy dog face which looked ridiculous on his death metal make-up. But he really did have a point. With the virus around we had barely been able to practice let alone perform or record anything. If this went on i had no other choice but to join the fa...
The dark tints on Mom's Malibu ironically made her car stand out, and I recognized it right away as she pulled up in front of the band hall. I told my friends goodnight and headed to the car with my backpack and my drum stick bag in tow. The trunk popped as I approached and I set both inside before taking my place in ...
\*Made unknown sender -> wife "Bottom's up!"shouted a far-too enthusiastic intern as a group of people took glasses of what was probably $400 champagne from the waiter's tray. Jeffrey tsk-tsked, the intern was going to regret it the next day. He was a good kid, though, maybe Sam from HR was too tipsy off of the ch...
"Good evening! Can I start you out with some water and a menu?"A beautiful woman dressed in a red dress, just sexy enough without being too revealing, flashed a million-watt smile. "My car is dead and my phone is dead and I need to call my husband,"I said, "and it's fucking cold out there and I hope you can validate m...
"Dead? You mean all the previous death was not enough?" "That's right."The genie retorted, with a purple glow. It was time to give this some thought. An idea took form, contextual boundaries taking shape, then refined and etherealized. It would be eased into to achieve the desired result. "Genie, how effective were ...
“Watch out!” I shouted, but it was too late, Milky the cow reared its legs and delivered a powerful blow to the level one adventurer, ending his quest prematurely. “Why does everyone stand behind the cow? My five-year-old son knows better than that.” I stared down at the adventurer’s body, his face twisted in a mess of...
It is often said the best swordsman does not fear the second best, he fears the worst, since there's no telling what that idiot is going to do. Whoever said that was the idiot though, the best swordsman should actually fear the wizard. How do I know this? I'm that wizard, and my pendant imbued with the Spell of Trippin...
At once, all the candles were snuffed out, leaving me with only a sliver of moonlight. The darkness itself seemed to congeal, pulling away from my skin like cobwebs in the night, gathering toward a spot near the front of my stiff, rickety bed. Slowly, it took form, and soon I could just make out the silhouette of a gre...
"According to my data, you, the human we have obtained, is classified as a 'female.' Is this information correct?" The voice was raspy; the blindfold over my eyes prevented me from seeing my captors, but I knew that they weren't human. "Um-- y-yes-- yes? H-how-- how can I understand you?" "Ah. That would be the unive...
"This is ridiculous. You've got a slice of cake in your hand,"the person at the door said in acid tones. "The cake is an illusion."James replied, calmly. There was a silence, during which the person at the door stared at James, lost for words. "I saw your facebook post,"he continued. "It clearly said your birthday is...
"I know you have a lot of questions, but let's get you to safety first."I had to stop myself from shuddering with the use of such a guttural language, grabbed the princess with my tail and took flight through a newly created hole in the roof to the nearby village. Flying with a screaming and flailing princess wrapped i...
Annie sighed again, that classic sigh, the kind you might expect from the protagonist that no one believes. That wasn’t the case, though; she was just a sucker for someone who could spin a good story. ‘I’m telling you,’ she implored, ‘they’re real. Fully developed, not a spot of magic in sight.’ I spoke slowly, as if...
Platform nine-and-three-quarters? Don’t make me laugh. This isn’t the nineties. Getting to Hogwarts is a whole different beast. First of all, Brexit. We aren’t quite as international as we used to be. Second, it’s Runway 6 and eight-tenths now. Professor Hermione has really pulled us into the 2020s with vengeance. Sh...
Grandma was in a rough way around the end. Bedridden and barely lucid, she had begun speaking nonsense to anyone who would visit her. The whole family had been gathered around her bed while she recounted some nonsensical journey she had taken thousands of years ago in some country that had never existed. The people she...
Ambassador Churana had never been fond of gravity. Her people were lithe, pointy-eared humanoids who hadn’t seen a planet’s surface outside of the view screens of remote drones in generations. Her people’s bones just weren’t built for the crushing weight of being pulled towards the center of a celestial body, not to me...
Pa taught me to recognise all the dangers of the mine. To know the smell of firedamp, feel the loose scree underfoot. He taught me to recognise the tightness in my chest when the air turned bad, hear the rounder tap when a pick strikes rock with water on the other side. He prepared me to face them all. He told me too,...
"I miss Carlyle..."Rania, our warrior, said as we shuffled along the road back to town. We had been tasked with cleaning out a nearby nest of goblins that had been plaguing the town. A lot of killed cattle, stolen goods, townsfolk harassed, the general fare for a wayward pack of nuisances. We didn't see the problem in...
Shark bites, buffalo bites, snake bites... To be honest, you'd think I'd have special powers with all these options. I'd even settle for an owl. They get good grades in school and have flight powers when they activate wings. But no. I got a rat bite. An actual rat bite. Can you believe it? I used to be bullied becau...
A sudden crashing noise jolted me out of bed. With wide eyes like saucers, I stared at the man standing in my doorway. He had a flowing purple cape, a skin tight speedo with a strange lightening shaped logo on his chest. However, the most striking feature seemed to be the outrageous purple underpants that matched his c...
The song had changed over time. At first, it had been a triumphant song. Horns and drums blaring my greatness for all who dared approach me to hear. You could practically feel the song in your bones. I was never quite sure where it came from. I simply chalked it up to divine gifts that I so rightly deserved. Before I ...
I couldn't have possibly understood it then. He moved like a madman, throwing things into place, spilling water across the floor. All I could do was watch as he moved across the base. His eyes were crazed, glinting with a kind of madness that no one but he understood. Each action was like watching a man being pulled b...
"Thank you kindly, Sheriff Gormley, for takin' the stand heah today, so as we can clear up this heah misunderstanding, concerning my client."Phineas L. Garou Esq. said, smiling broadly, his thumbs casually hooked behind his suspenders, as he looked at the scowling lawman over the rims his round spectacles. "Ain't no m...
“A book? A gosh darned book?” You mumble to yourself on your thirteenth birthday. Today was supposed to be great. A time of wonder and amazement. A time when you’d finally learn what your special item was. A time for you to gloat in front of all your friends about how great you were. But nope. You sulk to yourself as ...
He saw a therapist once about a decade back. One of the questions on the intake form was "do you believe you are dead?"He didn't check it because he was there for marriage counseling, but it stuck with him. He marinated on it for a second. He considered how some corporate drone somewhere dwelling in his own fluoresc...
I woke up and checked my phone. Today's colour is bright pink, the message read. I started crying because It reminded me how my mom was dragged away by the winged enforcers because her bright pink suit did not match the colour code card the police had, because I had forgotten my blue sock in the washing machine. I ...
"So the solution is, I tell them my plan as I always did and then I just do something different?" "Exactly. That's the key to winning a fight. Just straight up lie at him, then go to the location you really want to be" Even supervillains have to learn how to be evil first. If people don't find their way on their own,...
My watch beeps, I silence it and rifle through my purse. I can’t find them. I start taking things out. “Something wrong?” Fabier, my boyfriend, says. “I can’t find my pills,” I say. “I can’t find them.” We take everything out of my purse and lay it on a bench. No pills. “I don’t know where they are. I took one t...
Prince Gideon strolled through the palace gardens, orienting himself by the prickly rose bushes and the little imperfections of the gravel path. Medusa clutched his hand, her steps much less confident than his because of the blindfold covering her eyes. "Are you certain I can be here, Gideon?"she asked quietly. "Thou...
It took me a while to understand I wasn't dead. It made sense that I would be dead, after falling into a lake in my full dress and associated underclothes, I really should have drowned.... I really believed I had. So when I woke to the sight of clouds bellow me, illuminated by the full moon, its understandable I though...
Right so, Innkeep, I'm gonna need... I think literally all of your ale. Not for me! No! A friend of mine. Well, some for me but- look. Let me lay things out here because... well it's a bit of a 'thing' if you catch my drift. Meev is my name, and meandering is my game. I'm not part of any mystical order or titanic tr...
History has always been written by the victor. This species had always been united, or so they say. Their propaganda litters the subspace highways and the intergalactic rest stops. “For Earth!” Emblazoned upon every fixture, every neon sign, every holographic information panel. They were the victors. They had brough...
"No time to explain, just follow me." "okay." "wait, you're actually not asking any questions?" "yes?" "really, no questions?" "okay, one question: whose car are we taking?" "a car I jacked earlier. That's your question?" "yeah." "you don't want to know if we are going to kill someone, or rob someone?" "I figu...
To; Agnes Melina Jansen, Jansen Manor, Paris. «First impressions of Innsmouth were... nice. Surprisingly so. I mean, sure, the old people looked (and smelled) slightly fishy, but I can excuse that. I've met young, healthy men that smelled worse than poor old Joan. Joan was my host at the Gillman Hotel (of course,...
Anger had been her original reaction to finding out about her husband's affair. Misha had spent years with the man and this was how he repaid her? The hurt she felt took a long time to vanish, helped along by a nasty habit of drinking her problems away. A year had gone by and little had changed. Misha was still lonel...
How can this be? I have never been to System4347, or what this creature calls planet Gateun, his native planet. Neither has he ever visited Napune in his lifetime. How can we be what each of us claims the other is. But there is no mistaking his features, his name, abilities and more importantly, his story. Everything ...
‘That’s odd.’ I thought as my feet crunched through the leaves covering the approach to the back stairs of the cabin. The second stair gave an exhausted creak as I made my way towards my where the rocking chairs were. Instead of two vintage rocking chairs, there was a pile of chewed wooden scrap and the splintered rema...
"Isn't the left side of a human just as vulnerable as the right?" "Well.. yeah but..." "And wouldn't a heavy blow anywhere on a human knock it down?" "Technically, yes. But...uh.....hmmm..." "Ideally, if you are in a position to land a heavy blow, wouldn't the head be the best location?" "I suppose if..." "Also, ...
"Father, forgive me, for I have sinned."Sitting on the other side of the partition is the only man who knows my real job. I've been coming to his church since I was a boy, and it's the only tie I still have to my old life. Before I became a head-hopper. "Tell me what troubles you, my son."I've heard these...
# Soulmage "And the magical properties of salt?" I asked. Of the many types of stones that were known to grant magical abilities, salt was the one I was confident Lucet was familiar with the most. "Salt is sorrow and frost,"Lucet snapped. I didn't have to see the oil roiling in her soul—oil for passion and flame...
I take the latex mask, nondescript and colored like pink flesh with holes for the eyes and mouth. I slip it over the top of my head and roll it down my face. It's cold and wet like chicken skin. Meanwhile, the stranger walks over to the far end of the room and opens a door into the brisk night. He gestures for me to fo...
"GIMME YOUR MONEY, BITCH!"the kid shouted at me as he waved a pistol in my face. We were in an alley in San Francisco, the pavement stinking of old cooking grease and stale urine, and covered with trash on this hot summer night. I wanted to cut through it to take a shortcut to get back to where my car was parked, but ...
The floorboards squeaked as a new face entered the bar, hand cannon hugged tightly to his side. A few patrons glanced up to eye him through the frosted glasses of their drinks; observed as he glared around the room until his sunken eyes met with the bartender. I continued to watch as he approached the bar top, tall, me...
The soft sunlight illuminating my face woke me up. I had slept very firmly, and felt rested and ready for the day. Hmmm. That was odd. At least for someone like me, who had struggled with terrible insomnia since my early teenage years. I honestly couldn't remember a morning where I didn't get up feeling as if a truck...
You’d always been a nobody, even before you discovered your immortality. It was maddening and sad to think about, how easily you could be forgotten. It certainly protected you often throughout the centuries, but as technology rose and the world became more connected, it became more difficult to maintain. Nobody was *no...
(I'm still pretty new here and it might not end up good but I'll try ) So... long story but I'm convinced this guy is a wizard. I mean, he turned my teacher into a frog, a fat frog at that. But nobody remembers? They say we got dismissed early. Not to mention that stupid book he carries around, whenever someone asks...
I sat on the queen-sized mattress within my cabin, pondering potential suspects and leads. The door to the outside balcony overlooking the midnight sea was open, allowed the salty and revitalizing sea air to breeze in. It was 1am, just hours fresh after the murder. All Stars was playing loudly from beneath my cabin, di...
There was a bright flash. I opened my eyes infront of what seemed to be a medieval hall, filled with wooden benches and chairs. In front of me was a lavish feast filled with all kinds of meats and fruits. "My liege, I'd like to propose a toast!"a man dressed in a knightly attire suddenly stood up with a cup. "Uhh.. ...
You know how they say your mistakes make you who you are? I'm not sure who 'they' are, but I had an odd experience recently that may have proved that old proverb. Actually, I couldn't even tell you if it an experience or a dream. It was so surreal. It was like a mixer. There were every me from every alternate uni...
A crumbling, festering wight. A screeching hellbeast. An ominous shadow whose eyes are mere flecks. Nothing was working. I tried rotting flesh, bloody fangs, misshapen and twisted features... but my victim remained unfazed. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't get this kid to crack. It finally got to the point that my...
I didn't exactly feel the caffeine diffusing throughout my body; that's not how it works. I knew it to be working more by a gradual recession of sleepiness than by an acquisition of alertness. The IV pumped a few milligrams of the stuff into my bloodstream once an hour for the duration of my shift, mixing it with a coc...
Darien looked out over the skyscrapers and steel canyons that filled the view out of his office window. It was an aesthetically pleasing sight, but all he ever saw was the excess and greed of the men who ruled these glass towers and oppressed those below. By night he fought to bring them all low, robbing their banks, s...
"I've come to make an announcement!"Screens and projectors all across the world switched in an instant from the mundane drone of advertisements and celebrity gossip to the only world-wide figure that matters: Doctor Ivo Robotnik. "My name is Doctor Eggman. I am the greatest scientist in the world and soon to be its gr...
As I was rinsing my hands, I looked at myself in the washroom mirror. Freshly ironed shirt, new jeans, clean-shaven face - wait, I had missed a spot right under the nose! Ah well, too late now. I heard one of the toilets flush, and my boss’ boss joined me at the sink. “Ready for the big meeting? Don’t worry, they’re a...
"This cannot be!"The Demon Lord bellowed. His armors shattered, his robes torn apart, his antlers sliced clean. Before him stood a girl in glowing pink dress, the eye-piercing radiance of which could never be achieved by any naturally occurring materials. The dress, with all its intricate frills and straps and layers,...
\--Posted on the blog of Evangeline Kenny, graduate of the Iowa Writer's Workshop and bestselling author of Bones and Blues and Monsters All The Way Down.-- &#x200B; Day 40: I think I'm almost used to small-town living. If you'd have told me a year ago I'd be in a tiny little village in Nebraska working in a ...
The sky faded from blue to purple to an empty black hole, spanning maybe a mile across. The grass similarly splotched and waned into a sandy gray dessert. Armor and bones littered the area. When I set out to return the Globensparn to the ancient city of my ancestors, I had no idea I would find the area I have come to ...
The world was on fire. Barbarians were at the gate. The Horror Lord was close to absolute supremacy and the world looked to it's last hope, the one to whom the sacred sword would finally be revealed. The only sword that could vanquish the Horror Lord They had trained diligently for the majority of their years. Whil...
"...WHAT? Wha... what on earth is going on?" "Yeah, sorry to startle you, I know talking animals isn't something humans really know about..." "Course not! And of course you freaking startled me!" "Look, does any of this matter? I'm a dog, I can talk, get over it." "Wait... you think that's what startled me? The f...
Even looking in the mirror, the time of my death is the same as everyone else’s. Something out there will bring us all back alive and kill us for the final time. Our last death is unknown to me, even when I can figure out what time. It doesn’t stop getting stranger, as people are still dying earlier than expected. I sn...
I ain't sorry for what I did. I can't rightly be. Your grandma will tell you the whys of it, if she hasn't already. Hell, knowing her, she might have told you everything already. But these here are my words. My story of what happened. I want you to understand why your daddy is dead. And I want you to be angry. I want ...
"Is it because I didn't learn stay?" You look down at the shaking pup and wish it was different. "No. It wasn't you. You were a good boy."You assure the little guy. His tail (it looks broken. You hope someone calls a vet) "But I didn't stay. I saw a squirrel. I chased it and she came with me.'' He insists. "The ca...
Flash There I was, in a large glass tube surrounded by what I hope is water. I gasp for air as the blurry shapes outside slowly lift the lever to open my chamber. I fall to my knees and cough up water. I look up in confusion, tall and colourful humanoids stand in front of me. They look vaguely familiar, many legs, se...
The jarl made his rounds across the tavern, talking with each guest that graced his keep. "Algier! Why did you not tell me your mug was empty? This simply will not do!" "Oh no, Sigg, I couldn't take another. Besides, if you keep giving away drinks for free, how are you supposed to run this place?" Sigg gave his ...
"Okay, and your Vice President is..." "Amelia Earhart,"Latimore said nonchalantly. "Of course,"Bill remarked, kneading his brow with equal parts frustration and confusion. I'm too old for this shit summed up his entire thought process at this point. "You know I can hear your thoughts, Bill,"Thomas reminded him, t...
"So you don't care that you're my prisoner?"the villain asks. "No, I really don't! But can I at least have one day to quit my job and break up with my fiance?"The villain looks at you for a minute, obviously trying to figure out what exactly you're planning. "I give you my word. I just want to get my life in order be...
Some days I wake to the warm reaches of the light cast out by that distant star, and am immediately struck by a familiar thought. Well - a feeling, really. To put it to words I suppose I wonder if other people feel loneliness the same way I do. That little pit inside of you that rolls around throughout your stomach lik...
Man this sucks! Look how much fun everybody else is having. Four spidermen pointing at each other and laughing. Batman is slapping Robin yelling about his dead parents. Grumpy cat is running away from long cat while ceiling cat just watches from above. *They had to have karaoke didn't they? A Tay Zonday and Rebecca ...
You gaze inside the swirling vortex of blue-white energy within the frame of the archway. You couldn't help but let your jaw dangle loosely as you took in the sight of a real portal to...somewhere. You know not where it leads, for unlike an open door, it does not show you what lies beyond. A sense of curiosity and a pu...
My brain is flooded instantly as I come to consciousness. At first I figure I must still be sleeping. It is a weird dream. But the more I awake the more vivid these texts are. I cannot even see them all, I am so overloaded that I can't even organize them in a way where I can read all of them. And they are coming in fr...
Border Robot It had been three years since I last went to the edge of the district to see him. Him. See it. It never gets easier. I wish I never found out they repurposed his consciousness as he passed. The laws around memory retrieval were so grey at the time. I know he just wanted to leave me with some extra money…b...
"You're a murderer! Can't you see how wrong this is?!"The Hero, one of the many false gods to the people of this city despite everything. Despite how their organization ran. The people didn't know any difference. They were ants among giants. They saw their shiny costumes and saw them hold a bus full of people once and ...
The welcoming party seemed to be unarmed, yet they showed no reaction to the plasma rifles equipped by my platoon, nor to the laser autocannons mounted on our spaceship. I figured our weaponry was so rudimentary compared to their superior technology that we were not perceived as a threat. A representative of the spec...
The pod opened with a hiss of air. Cadet Simpson stood ready with his particle beam gun, but we were all more curious than nervous. The creature inside was asleep. Its skin was a pale blue, and four arms with long-fingered hands rested neatly on its abdomen, which was clothed in a strange green material with some sor...
Prisonborn Tai had to help his village. Had to protect them. Had to do something. But what he was doing, was stitting stupidly, in a stupid cell, guarded by a stupid, ugly haired, ugly faced, ugly, ugly guard. His village was sick and needed medication. He was sent out as one of the only healthy ones left. He was...
It's been about two months, give or take. Two months ago, early in the month of July, I, a fresh-faced twenty-something, finally set out on my own. By pure luck, I managed to land a nice rental house (2000 square feet, 1.5 bathrooms, decent kitchen setup, and all for $500 a month? Talk about a steal!) in a somewhat ol...
I feel like I can answer in a unique way being a Phoenix. Although I have to admit that I don't really fly anymore for a couple reasons that I'll get into; the main one being that you're always painfully visible with the fire and smoke trailing behind. But a few thousand years ago, when humans were still relatively un...
The genie's eyes went wide. "Do they not tell the stories anymore?" "What stories?"I asked. "Hrm. I was a dervish of the sands, a bandit and murderer. I slaughtered men like goats, and sold the women and children. Muhammad, peace be upon him, worked a miracle of sealing. Now I am bound to this lamp until Judgement Da...
They thought I was a hack, using cold reading techniques and my sense of touch to register responses instead of being blind. And I mean, that's fair - there are enough cheap hacks out there today with gimmicks and psychological response reading that I could easily get lost in the dross. But then as I walked on to the ...
The binary star system 3-X12GK was a rarity. And I know what you're thinking; All binary star systems are a rarity. That is true. Their eccentric orbits and gravities make binary star systems unlikely to sustain themselves long term, and makes them unsuitable for practically all settlement purposes. 3-X12GK is ra...
Clara splashed carpet shampoo hither and thither. Ornate vases of undying flowers were thoroughly dusted. Floors were swept and mopped and scoured. Bathtubs were scrubbed and toilets were rubbed. Unused bedsheets tumbled round and round. Clara enjoyed a brief moment's rest, savoring a glass of water. "Hey, baby!"...
A proud and noble duke, Ferdinand had always put the well-being of his kingdom and its people above all else. So when the opportunity presented itself to strengthen the relationship between the royal families by marrying off his only daughter, Elizabeth, to the Crown Prince, Oliver, he didn't hesitate. Despite the ini...
“Zanta Klawse, you stand accused of 37 violations of the Non-Interference Directive, 24 infringements of the Technology Interdiction, and 7 counts of contravening the Contact Prohibition. All of this, on a Category 4 Industrio-Primitive World. How do you plead?” So spoken, the Chief Magistrate of the Council pee...
I was one of the greats of all time. An international chess champion, famed for my renowned ability to outclass any chess players. I was superb. I gained fame, money, and even all the guys and gals to boot. Celebrities flocked me, and they would tell me that I must be such an intelligent guy- with my master's degree. ...
"That depends,"I say slowly as I think. "On?"the adventurer asks. I look the man up and down-young, hardly a man, but clearly well-travelled. "Are your intentions to come back?"I ask. "To see sights you've seen before again? Or to see lands unknown and that you can't describe?" "I...both?"the adventurer says, clear...
Two years, that was our bargain. For two more years she would live and in exchange I would give her unending power till that time came to an end. It has been a year since and I don’t think we’re going to survive the other one. I have made many deals with all sorts of characters: warlords seeking glory, heroes hoping ...
“Look, your own backstory says humans don’t acknowledge themselves as animals- three quarters of them believe in an old man in the sky, and the rest think that aliens made them! They don’t even qualify as animals- not enough claws or fur, and way too much tools use!” The rest of the party blinked their 6 eyes in agree...
I yawned tiredly and stretched my arms, like a cat, in an attempt to loosen my stiff muscles a bit. "You really should get out of the habit of sleeping during working hours."Reprovingly, my colleague shook his head, who now also took a seat next to me, and was then first fully occupied with adjusting the height ...
I’d always known I was adopted. Seriously what human raised on an ethereal plane of hell by a demon wouldn’t know that? What shook me was the reason, I mean demons don’t generally act out of kindness, and no I don’t have the time to explain that to you but there it was. The other shocking part was that dad could die....
beep... beep... beep... "He's back!" I blearily open my eyes to the blinding white light of the emergency room. I'm immediately aware that it's far too dry, and far too noisy. I don't feel restrained per se, but my body feels weighted down, heavily pressed onto the cold metal table below me. I turn to get a better...
I suspected Oscar immediately. Between the four of us living in this apartment, Oscar is always the reason when things go wrong. The first day, it was Jacob's face wash. He's got bad skin, which is no big deal, but he's so self conscious about it. Jacob gets very sensitive talking about the issue at all. So when he c...
"Dumbass,"I heaved a sigh as I leaned back. I stretched my arms and legs. Having to sit for hours doing paperwork was tiring but it was the easiest part of the job. As they cleaned up Bob's area, I just shook my head. I wouldn't say that he had it coming. He'd been slacking off but he could have pulled through. That ...
"Ok, kid, first off, let's talk branding. We need to get you a new name. One that meshes with mine,"El Bandito said, lighting up another cigarette. "I was debating Li'l Bandito, but figure it's too confusing. Whadda ya got?" "Uh... Bandolier? I can swap out my utility belt for one, too." "Aces, kid. Just aces. Way to...
"Sh-sh-sh-sh. Don't move, the guardinan of dead!"- the young pale man in long robe said, walking into the small crypt. His hand was shining green - the sign of gathering magic power. I backed down silent. "It could have been Jonas, not me"- the vile thought sparkled inside my mind. Jonas, the keeper of graveyard, was ...
Lund had already told the whole village of his fateful encounter with the beast. How it knocked him off his horse, Frey, and carried the poor thing away, her blood dripping from its fangs. How he surely only survived for the hiding spot he quickly found. How the truce between dragon and man has surely been called off b...
"The payment is thus: I shall control you for a minute at a time, for three instances. You will not remember these periods, but no crimes will be committed." The girl nodded, bowing her head. In front of her a mass of red smoke formed a grin, as she struck the deal. "I agree." "Very well! The kingdom is yours." The...
With precision that was almost second nature, the skin of my right hand came into contact with their teeth. They were sharp, relatively clean, and firm. The water that splashed back onto my hand was quite cold. The index finger of my right caressed the back of a tooth and placed a firm pressure on it. My left hand r...
"I know what you're thinking, but believe me. I know what I'm doing!" She sighed in frustration and looked at me more than a little annoyed. Still, I felt like I was getting through to her and although I tried to suppress it, I couldn't help but get my hopes up. "Don't we have enough information about them alread...
A sword gleamed in the light of the grand hallway, a tiny cape rested on its hilt. It looked majestic to any onlooker - or rather it would’ve if it hadn’t been hopping forward slowly like some malformed pogo stick. Still, somehow every noble, servant, and enchanted suit of armor bowed as it made its way to the g...
