Ben’s next visit is a few days later. He wears that mask of bravado and joy that easily slips away once he’s in the room alone with me. I stand there looking at him, waiting for him to complain I’m not wearing the outfit he bought for me.
“I thought for once you’d wear it.” He picks up the box, which I never even opened. “C’mon, for me, just this once?”
“That’s your favorite thing to say, isn’t it? Just this once.” I stride over towards him. “Just this ...

I reside in the Heimlich Correctional Facility, a specially fortified prison made to house the exceptionally gifted criminal. In other words, it was the jail for supervillains. I’m not one for the flowery talk that is used to describe what I am. Exceptionally gifted criminal sounds, to me, like a participation trophy. The facts are these: I break the law, I have super powers, and I was caught and tried for my crimes. I’m not bitter about it, I knew one day I would be caught. But it was th...

I’ve been summoned to a small village in Pirlipat to take care of a monster. I don’t know many of the details at the moment, all I know is that the villagers are desperate to be rid of the creature. Never one to turn down a chance for adventure, I decided to answer their plea. I also like Pirlipat a great deal, as they have some of the most am...

Thursday evening, I’m in my classroom still as I grade papers. In my mind I’d rather stay here late than take any of this shit home. Between my stage performance class and theatre history class, I really don’t have much, but it takes time to go over all this. I leave the building just as the streetlamps go on and I glance towards the STEAM building. I then see a big figure come out of the building and I know it’s Oleander.
I head over; it would be my first time talking to him in...

I leave the True Love’s Kiss, perturbed by what transpired between Epiphania and I, and go home to my apartment, finding my kitchen in a shocking state of disarray. My pad is on the floor and my pens are scattered everywhere. Chairs are toppled over, and the table has been pushed into the counter. My laptop, though, has been neatly set on the kitchen co...

Hard times are hard, especially when surmounting student loan debt is with it. Who knew wanting to be a drama teacher was such a bad idea? I thought it would be fun. Unfortunately schools are laughing at the idea of hiring drama teachers as arts get passed over time and time again. By this point after earning my degree, I’m used to it. I’ve found jobs, I’ve memorized interviews so I go on charming autopilot, and I’ve submitted and submitted and forced my resume into every available sc...

Josie followed along behind her, keeping close and even clinging to the white dress. Once in the hallway, Bess looked this way and that, even holding up one of her floppy ears to hear better. She stepped out, walking slowly at first.
“We’re a hall over, so it should allow us a little extra time,” Bess whispered. “Once we reach the ballroom, it’ll be easy to evade them in the maze.”

I’ve always been fascinated by a building I pass when I go to work. The architecture suggests it’s a church, massive and beautiful, decorated with angels and gargoyles alike. Through my job as a reporter, I’ve been able to find enough information on the building to piece together a half-completed jigsaw puzzle. Long ago it was a church, but the past...

It had been easier for Kyairil to forget things than linger on the memory of them. All his years of imprisonment, he had learned to let go of the things he once enjoyed. He meditated in their place. He made himself forget how good roast chicken was, and how good dark wine made him feel. He forgot the different warmths that both provided him. He ta...

Josie stood on her seat, looking over the edge of the boat. The water below looked silvery and glittery, reflecting her in a hazy cast. She could see the edge of the water as well; rather than flow to a bank, it fell over an edge, cascading down into an abyss that connected with the sky.
“Where is this place anyways?” Josie sat back down in her seat, smoothing her hands over her soft skirt.
“I’ve never been able to really figure that out.” Perley leaned back upon the rai...

The beginning of our story, after all this time, is finally told here. Around the height of Kyairil’s power and influence, he had been the right hand of the drow queen, in the area now known as Charbagne. He was a powerful draconian magician, and she enjoyed the power he exuded. She also enjoyed his beauty, so she made him her lover as well. Bei...

Death has a points system. And for Grim Reapers it’s a game. The more points they get, the closer they are to retirement. Their points are based on the life they lead when they were alive. If you don’t collect points you begin to decay.
For one young woman she’s just discovering this weird new afterlife for herself. Recently dead as well as being a grim reaper’s winning point, she is now imbued with the grim reaper mantel as well as the “pomegranate seed” that houses the po...

Once upon a time there was a little girl, and the time was not good. War had been everywhere, and even though it was over, it was still there. The little girl, named Josie, was alone in the world. She lived in the larder of the shop she worked. Josie couldn’t remember a time before the war, this was all she knew. She knew to sweep, to clean, to run errands, deliver orders, and the best streets to traverse when delivering. It was along one of these streets, nestled away on its own, was a sho...

Back in Earthwick, Hamfist Portigardens was a raging wreck. The moment he found Roslile’s note and digested it, he went into shock. He had no clue what to do, and for the first few hours of the day he went around like she was playing one of her ridiculous games. It wasn’t until the day wore on that it penetrated to him that his daughter was ac...

I hate how my mind works. I’ve been planning for this Misinformed rewrite and completion. But now I have this nagging little guilt bug telling me to do something else. What that else is I don’t know. I don’t know what to do know and I feel awful about it. I’ve made a promise here for quite some time. I want to finish Misinformed but I feel like I want it to be something else. What should I do? How do I get over this?

“What’s going to happen?” You ask, packing a bag. “He doesn’t have his powers anymore.”
His frown was palpable, even from across the room. “He's a very intelligent man. Whose to say what he’s been doing on that star all these years. Thirteen years and all he’s been doing is tending to a garden? I think not.”
“Then come with me,” you say filipantly.
He rolls his eyes. “I understand you want to test you...

Ever since you were a prepubescent girl, there have been several lessons that have been beaten into you ever since. Lessons such as the power of friendship, the importance of light, the strength in love, and how the greatest power of all comes from inside you. As a kid, you believed this, especially as a child chosen by the stars to receive the power of the gentle cosmos.

Roslile kept Kyairil hidden for a few days, preparing for the long journey it would take to reach the Cobra Strait. While her father continued to go to Bellmore to look after the house of his previous employers, she carefully stocked food for the journey, hopefully enough for her and Noodl . The only thing she lacked was money.
