The Veracity of His Word
We walked up to the living quarters in silence. I believe we both had a lot to think about. I never held much stock in this whole God theory, but Serrena did, though now that she had found out he was really real and unhappy with the Brotherhood,...
Like Cats and Dogs
Jon-Tom was contemplating his present situation. He liked this Lanana. Not only was she cute and adorable, she had the power to help him in ways no one else had been able. His inner turmoil was now a fraction of what it had been. It wasn't...
Gruff enough?
The Norwegians have a tale about a troll under a bridge. Well, there was a troll, and he was ugly, but he didn't quite deserve the reputation he ended up with. There once lived a quiet little troll. He lived under a...
It’s All in the Boots!
You all know the tale of the miller's three sons. When he died, one got the mill, one got the donkey and the youngest boy got the miller's cat. Talk about getting screwed! But as we all know, the tale has a happy ending. But it didn't...
Upstaged by an Otter
"Listen otter, I don't know what you're up to, and whatever it is, it isn't going to work. I've got my eye on you!" A very drunk Mudge had both of his eyes on the female in front of him. Two very bloodshot eyes. "Now listen 'ere my fine beauty, Ole...
A False Trail
Bolshoi was a good companion, if a little on the naive side. It wasn't his fault. The Brotherhood had reigned for centuries now, subverting the basic facts into their form of truth. He was open-minded, and if I could prove what I said, it was good...
Getting in Harms Way
They say either ya love the city or ya hate it. As the joke goes, if ya hate it, move out. Where's the joke in that? There's nothing else but the city. Yeah, sure, there're the Outlands, and people do live in those forsaken crap...
Reboot
Jon-Tom came home a week later. He gave his wife a kiss, but it was cold and distant. He said very little the entire day. When nighttime came she had hoped for little closeness and was disappointed by his aloofness. She didn't pester him,...
Turning Point
The next few hours passed too quickly to suit her. After all of the time she had spent building up her anger, this release of it was therapeutic ways no one could understand. His method was straight forward; he overwhelmed her feelings and emotions,...
A Blackened Soul
They took the poor creature to the healer's guild, were he was placed in the capable hands of Pollwac. He promised to report as soon as the patient made any progress towards the realm of the conscious. Jon-Tom snuck in a tiny bit more healing before he...
Out of Harms Way
It turns out kidnapping a wanted criminal wasn't an offence under the auspices of the law unless ya didn't turn him over to the authorities. Fuck them. If they wanted this guy so badly, they could get off their lazy, corrupt asses and...
To the Outlands and Back
I spent enough time with Uma to reduce my testosterone to normal levels. I took another cab across town the next day, all the while with my brain working overtime. I was still intent on finding out who this killer was. I should have...
