Emma looked through the pressure-pane of the spaceship, out at Mars. She’d found it so beautiful when she first laid eyes on it about a year ago. Now it was just boring. The tears that had been welling-up began to fall. “I’m so fucking lonely.” Emma regretted having deleted her ex’s transmissions from Earth, even the one where he’d broken […]

The old woman lifted the bottle against the light filtering through the chapel’s stained glass windows. Her lips pursed, and she sent Caleb a skeptical look. “This here’s holy water, then? Looks no different than the stuff from the well.” “It is from the well,” Caleb said. “But I prayed to the goddess overnight so she would infuse it with […]

“Ticket for one.” Maldred grunted at the surly doorman, keeping a careful eye out for any additional security. “2 crowns.” the thug grunted back This place didn’t look like it was worth 3 crowns, a sunken doorway in a dingy back alley in the under-city.

It was a lazy day in the cabin. Snow covered the land outside and a warm fire was in the hearth. Peridur was full of a restless energy as he lay at one end of the couch, opposite Eleanor.

It was the next morning, and her lover Edward had his head firmly planted between her thighs. Until the previous evening, he had been known as E.D., shorthand for “Erectile Dysfunction,” and had been one of the most despised men in all of Des Moines. The Change had cursed him, and all around him, with impotence, and he had been […]

It was a cold and stormy day, which seemed only appropriate, as my mood was quite dreary as well. It was this day that my idyllic life would come to an end. No more lovely afternoon teas and darling fireside evenings with my sisters and mother. The balls where I would dance myself dizzy in the arms of charming young […]

I pulled on my white cotton gloves as I stepped up to the lectern. Before me was the ancient volume of Fables and Fairy Tales that I had badgered the Chief Librarian for permission to view for almost a year. The old library was closed, empty but for myself and the caretaker. Very gently I began turning the old, dry, […]

It has been six months since the abduction of demigoddess Demi Rose. An aspiring rockstar summoned her via an ancient ritual. “Well, hello there, you sexy little thing. What’s your name?” “Black Lipstick.” “Really?” “Honestly, I have been thinking of changing it.”
