Fates : The Meeting

The town of Framton was a rather small, yet dense community of humans. Bakers, butchers and sweet makers were the common profession, and they were always named the best across the southern dominances across the kingdom. In this town was an inn called The Kneeling Kneader. Like Framton, it was small but could pack more than most inns, and like […]

Paladin

The horsemen charged forward. Their large numbers easily cleaving through any obstacle that stood in their way. The grass wilting under their feet. Pale horses knew no fear as they galloped onwards, guided by their riders’ lashes. Finally, the horsemen were close enough for him to tell who or what they were.

Puppy Love

The doorbell chimed. Bluebonnet the Baker gulped. She had so, so desperately hoped the woman outside the window would keep walking. So eagerly prayed that the woman would think the bakery was closed, or was looking for a different shop, a different home, a different target.

A Sorcerer’s New Pet

I stop tracing the runes on the floor of the dim, stone chamber we find ourselves in. The warm glow of magically lit crystals a stark contrast to the ice-cold fury radiating from Alissa’s deep blue eyes. “You won’t get away with this you disgusting freak!” The young mage screams at the top of her lungs. “I have friends, sorcerers […]

E is for Easter

As the three of us milled about in the freshly-mowed grass, I surveyed the park filled with hundreds of rambunctious children, and a few determined adults, searching high and low in the trees and bushes for pastel eggs for our town’s annual Easter carnival. “Don’t you have to find all ten colors to win a prize?”

Atmosphere

I slump against the alley wall, breathing hard. They had been chasing me for about four blocks. My chest wound hurts, a raw open bleeding hole where my heart would have been had I been human. I had let my guard down, became too complacent and trusting during my assignment, and I had taken a shotgun blast to the chest […]

Kingpin

Resh Skydreamer was on her knees, the hot desert sand burning her skin, sucking the cock of an enemy soldier. She felt the hard, tiny black peddles and sand of Dak’l-6 digging into her flesh, her pantaloons pushed above her knees. She knew not why she was here nor why she was blowing a random enemy soldier.

First Contact

Dr. Silvia Turner sat on a stainless steel chair, in-front of a stainless steel table, inside of a stainless steel room. She was about to be the first human to meet a newly discovered alien race. She tried taking some deep breaths. Their initial communications suggested that they were very advanced in terms of bio-tech, but less so in other […]

The Communion

Her alarm clock was still blaring music as she looked into the glass. Helen recognized the woman looking back at her, yet something about this scene felt entirely unfamiliar. She had woken up with a fever the day before, and the day before that… well she could barely remember anything. As she brushed her teeth, she realized that she couldn’t […]

Merchant of Venus

“Don’t you die on me yet, you stupid machine,” Engel panted, swiping the sweat from her eyes. She braced herself with her other hand on the wall beside her bed. Her hips rose and fell in a regular rhythm, her skin clapping against the hard, leather covered box between her legs.
