The Price We Pay

Ssh. Shhh. It’s okay. It’s okay now. Don’t struggle. It’s alright, you’re safe. Don’t be afraid. You’re safe here, I promise. You’re among friends. The Lady found you… three nights ago, I think it was. Out in the Salt Marshes, raving with thirst and bright with fever. You probably would have died if not for her. But don’t worry, the […]

The Princess and the Vizier

No one knew where the man had acquired his snake-headed scepter – a wicked looking, ill-fated thing. But it was clear to all that it was the source of his new-found powers. With it he had conjured spirits and fuddled minds throughout the kingdom. The Sultan was stuck abed, devoid of both wits and strength, and in a surprise move […]

The Chip

It had been over seven years since Tom McMillan got the terrible news that both his parents were killed in a tragic automobile accident just outside Roanoke, Virginia. Tom had just gotten home from college and had barely put his belongings away when there was a knock on the door. A Pennsylvania State Policeman was there to tell him the […]

The Ponytail Express

They met at The Node, a café in the Commons area of the University of Cantella Forks. Most of the stores were closed on Sunday so there was a minimum of foot traffic. Regardless, small pockets of students clustered in various areas, busily studying for the upcoming finals. Few noticed the tall, slim 19-year-old stroll into the café. He purchased […]

Xemplify

Kev flinched at the sound of the knock on the door. Not just any old knock-he was used to greeting people at odd hours, people who maybe had a little bit of what you might call an urgency to their presence at his old town house in the middle of the night. Kev opened the door for people like that […]

Yes, I’m Ready

It all started when Hope got off the bus at the wrong stop. Normally, she rode all the way through downtown and changed at the depot at Miller Circle, but today she pulled the cord to indicate that she needed to get out right in the middle of the business district. She didn’t know why she did it; her hand […]

You and Me Against the World

Epiphany placed her hands carefully on the table, one in each of the twin recesses decorated with mystic sigils. She could feel the connection opening, her spirit flowing into the line of pure magical energy that extended the length of the pentagram to Veena’s spot. At the same time, Veena connected to Doctor Magick, who connected to the Dilettante, who […]

What’s On Your Mind

“I know, I know already!” Tori snapped at the sound of the knock on her door frame behind her. Probably totally unfairly, but with midterms coming up, she was more than a little stressed out and it wasn’t like this paper on ‘Class Structure in Elizabethan England’ was going to write itself when she was off training. It was absolutely […]

What’s in a Story

Lamar and his body guard escorted their new associate into the recording studio’s control room. “You’re telling me all you have to do is tell a girl this story and she’ll suddenly become an obedient fuck toy?” “It’s not really that simple. The stories are told with special language and speech patterns that engage the brain’s mirror neurons.” “Mirror … […]
