The Hunter
The hunter sits at the bar, sipping from his mug of ale, dressed in dark, worn leathers, hair wet and hanging loosely. All around him the townsfolk laugh and chatter in the warm light as they nurse their own drinks and meals. The hunter's eyes glint...
The Dress
Carlos discovered the dress under a pile of shoes in the back of his grandmother's closet. Long, dark as night, slink, and smooth as silk. It was wrapped in clear plastic that crinkled softly in his hands, and must have been treated well at some point,...
Keep it Up
"Good, keep it up." _Shut up._ Kevin was tired of hearing that passive-aggressive bullshit, the manager's way of saying 'you used to suck, now you don't suck, keep not sucking.' Never mind he already worked the press faster than suggested for...
Dick Rocks
"I'm telling you, we were there before." "When?" Inquired Mel, almost belligerently. "I don't know... before." Terry seated himself between the two bickering men, handing each a cup of steaming coffee before sipping gingerly at his own....

"No..." Breathed Blondie as he knelt by his companion's side, looking down at the man who was all too still. "No, no no, don't do this!" Blistered hands reached out to slap weakly at dying man's face, framed by that raven hair that had grown tangled...
What We Always Dreamed Of

Terrible Creature Short
Well, not really a story, more like a single scene. this creature is based upon the "scarlet" from silent hill: homecoming, along with borrowing things from a few others.
A Happy Ending
It's short, a single scene, and reminiscent of the darker style that i both prefer and will no doubt be using to more heavily influence my work in the future.
