FREAKS — Installment #4

Felix set the bowl of pistachios on the small coffee table, and put the disc for Fellowship of the Ring in his Xbox before turning on his television set. He had spent nearly an hour making sure that the loft beneath his bedroom was impeccably clean. The model Eurofighter hanging from the ceiling shone brightly […]

The Dragon

She must’ve been the stupidest little “dragonslayer” I’d ever met. No armor, flimsy sandals, flowing golden hair and dress that make perfect kindling, and only a small dagger tucked in the front of her belt. Something was not right. I’ve lived in this coliseum ruin for almost a hundred years. I’ve had arch-mages and seven-foot tall knights […]

FREAKS — Installment #3

Felix peered down the dusty hallway, tattered fabrics that were suspended from the ceiling flapping in the slight breeze that made its way through the building.

I’m going to work on getting the first two Installments transferred to this format ASAP, and will put […]

FREAKS — Installment #2

Felix set his bag down next to his desk, and sat down to get some work done. He blasted through a calculus worksheet and then moved on to finishing his vocabulary assignment early. By the time he heard the garage open up on the ground floor towards the other end of the house, he checked […]

First Contact — Part Two

I sat there, rubbing my temples. I’d already gotten my ass chewed up, spat back out, and served to me in a Palladium bowl by about four species representatives, and now I was hearing it from my own Chancellor. “Do you realize just how significantly your intern screwed us!? I’ve gotten TWO HUNDRED calls and […]

First Contact — Part One

“Um, commander… You’re going to want to visit the brig.” “What is it now, Jax?” “You remember that new kid, Mer? The intern? Yeah, he messed up. Big time.” “How big are we talking?” “How about interstellar law big? Fundamental rules of society completely forgotten here. You’re going to want to talk to Mer.” “You’ve […]

Untitled Gothic

Thane ran and ran. His pulse pounded in his ears, and his knees were sore from his desperate flight. He heard the trees shake behind him, and kept running. His fear for his life dominated his mind, and everything he had ever done in his life flashed before his eyes. His knees buckled from underneath […]
