After years of stubborn conflict, you have declared a truce to jointly battle a far greater evil: the local HOA. | My high heels clicked loudly against stone tiles as I threw open the first door to the cellar I marched down the hallway. Blood oozed down the walls, but I ignored it. You would think that the All Seeing Horror of the Beyond could come up with a better way to scare me than illusionary blood. You would also be wrong, ap... | Ten years of pranking each other had led up to this.

jeqao8d | jepovi8 | [WP] A tyrant emperor, bored out of his mind because he has already conquered every planet in the galaxy, has the brilliant idea of deconquering all the planets just so he can conquer them again.

You arrive at their church only to find your Angel child consoling her Demon brother as dead cultists are littlered around the church and the leader terrified in a corner. | I always told them to stay away from churches. They’re no good, I said. They’re dangerous. The people inside aren’t safe. If you see a church, walk the other way. Stained glass is beautiful because it’s a warning.
And yet despite having repeated myself for over fifteen years, a church is where I find them.

In my weakened state, she shared what little food she had. Where my den had been robbed, she brought me new treasures to hold. Her selfless nature, a blessing upon those in her presence. With such care, I have grown stronger.

One day, a raven excitedly comes up to you and whispers, "A neighbor plots against you, my lord." | In the heart of New York City, I found myself trapped in the soul-sucking routine of a 9-5 office job, yearning for a spark of excitement to break the monotony. Amidst the sea of paperwork, ringing phones, and the drone of office gossip, my one solace was the peculiar habit I had developed over time.
