I had never been a large person. Before the Offer—what I was calling my interdimensional encounter now—I had barely been four feet tall. I’d always been the dwarf; I was way too short, and so I was way too thick. I had learned the word “spinner” in my freshman year of college. For a few months, I had thought I […]

I came home late, nearly midnight when I parked the car. I didn’t bother getting the umbrella out, it was a short walk from my sedan to the front door of my empty home. That being said, it was pouring down, so by the time I fumbled to unlock the door in the dark to get inside, my ears and […]

The alarm sounded at seven in the morning waking me up from my slumber. I turn off my alarm and lay there in a daze for a few minutes before I get up to freshen up. I go to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror — black shoulder length hair in a mess, slightly puffy face from […]

In a dimly lit airship cabin, a single black-haired elven woman was sitting behind a desk. The way she leaned into her right hand almost made her fingers bury into her silky skin while her red eyes trailed along a green jade flute she knew very well. But no matter how long Alyssa looked at the highly magical object, she […]

The newly updated Amber sat on the corner of her room in Judy’s brothel on 19th St. and Birch Ave. The neon lights from downtown shimmered over her ginger hair and freckled skin. Her dark eyes gazed unblinking at the corner of the room, at nothing. Although she had been updated and could now speak, have preferences, and move on […]

“Miss Lisa, Miss Lisa!” I’m knee-deep in muck when Aaron, Erik Turner’s boy, scrambles into sight, his youthful brown eyes wide, his appearance frantically disheveled. “Miss Lisa!” I spear my shovel into the mud and wipe my hands on faded blue coveralls. “Unless the barn is on fire-” “No, ma’am.” He catches his breath to tell me what has made […]

“Sura! Come here, will you?” “Coming, Dathan!” Sura finished with the tonic she was mixing and headed up front to where the plump old man with python-brown markings and a shock of black and gray thinning hair on his head, waited for her. Next to Dathan was younger Ophidian who stood two heads taller than her. His torso was lean […]

The train screeches as it goes around a curve. She doesn’t notice though. She’s too absorbed in her knitting. She doesn’t even look up. She knows there’s nothing to see on the crowded train car except other people’s asses. She’s lucky that her office is close to the beginning of the train line, it means she can get usually get […]

The Modern Beginnings: Pulling another cigarette from my pack I studied the dark damp shed. Cleaning this thing out was just another chore that my dad asked me to do to keep me out of his hair. I knew this was going to be a difficult task. *I should have stayed at school.* I mumbled to myself.

Wini felt frustrated with her self, it seems life had new plans in store for her as everything she had worked so hard to build was crumbling down before her eyes. Her relationship was on icy waters and so was her work. In the past few months she had worked heavily to put everything back in it’s original state but […]
