[WP] There is a demon that lives in the corner of your eye, which only you can see, and all it does is stare at you.
*Warning - I think I accidentally wrote porn? A little? Didn't mean to. It just sort of went that way. Not for kidduns I suppose!* There was a mutual understanding in the moment. They looked each other in the eyes, or at least, William attempted to share an understanding glance with the demon which instantaneously fli...

Judgement. That's what I'd call it. Possibly smugness. Whatever the look was, it never left it's face. Piercing black eyes, almost watery, and if you looked too long, you could tell the only thing left was insanity. I can't look straight at it, more like it's off to the side. Never in focus. It must be a demon, what ...

During a lull in a medieval battle one side finds that the entire chain of command has been killed and discuss what to do next.
A messenger comes running up, panting hard as droplets of grimy sweat run down his cheeks. "Take a breath," I say to the humble messenger. I motion to a my squire, Patrick. He runs off but quickly returns with a jug of lukewarm ale, thanks to a body made slender by a long campaign. The messenger drinks deeply, al...

During a lull in a medieval battle one side finds that the entire chain of command has been killed and discuss what to do next.
The fighting that day had been fierce, I would guess at least 2,000 lay on the ground between the two vast armies. Prince Charles had been cut in the leg, some enterprising knight had charged through our ranks in a mad dash at our Prince, and only the sacrifice of a squire stopped the knight from dealing a more deadly ...

During a lull in a medieval battle one side finds that the entire chain of command has been killed and discuss what to do next.
The battle has been one of attrition. Men of each country litter the slopes of the battlefield as far as the horizon reaches, clutching their mortal wounds, wrestling for some sort of comfort in the short, few moments of their lives waiting hopelessly for their light to extinguish. As he gazes out unto the field atop...

[WP] The last of my people
The Lightning War forced me to this place almost thirty years ago. The savages rolled through my village like thunder, killing anyone and everyone in a hellish advance. I knew they would reach the capital in weeks, and the rest of the country would be killed within a month. So I fled, fled to the top the mountains w...

[WP] The last of my people
The monk paused to look up, his eyes drawn to a flash of movement in the valley beneath him. A group of four goats were quickly bounding down the mountain. He watched them move with elegance and fearlessness, and could not help but wonder how an animal with such stiff limbs and small hooves ever decided to live in th...

[WP] "It was a dork in starry night..."
I feel like the only thing that can be done with this is a very cheesy story about teenage time travelers, and one of them somehow getting themselves painted into Starry Night. Unfortunately, past that basic synopsis, I got nothing.

[WP] A ruler traditionally thought of as divine in nature begins to question his divinity.
He awoke in paradise, yet again. The sun shined bright in the sky, and as he left his pavilion, he was accompanied by the usual throng of doting servants. Mangoes and sweet bread were breakfast, a supple young thing from the last ransacked town was lunch. As she groaned and writhed (whether from pleasure or resignati...

[WP] A ruler traditionally thought of as divine in nature begins to question his divinity.
Divinity, she thought, meant perfection. To be divine was to be perfect in every way. Her court assured her that even a ruler of divine birthright would have flaws. Which was why the birthmark under her eye was of no harm, nor the time she had fallen in the midst of a parade. She had a human side, they told her, and s...

"Next, the cat," The Imperial barked from the crowd. I eyed her up and down as I tested the strength of my binds. A guard took my arm firmly in his dirty hand, my fur peeking through his grasp. He pulled me towards the block, kicking the headless corpse away from the death machine to make room for me. I fell to my k...
