A good friend. (Part 1)
_ **Two days later.** _ Ollie sighed deeply, his only other action the slow stirring of the hot beverage in front of him. Ignoring the world around him. _"Something wrong Ol'?"_ He looked up when he heard his best friends voice. He frowned at the...
How was your day? Intro.
Vic sat on the couch, waiting. He sighed and looked around the flat he shared with his partner. _Shared._ In actuality it was his partner who paid the bills, bought the food. Brought in the income. Vic was just along for the ride. He didn't even have a...
A Long way. part 4
Dusk was awake, but barely. It's that state of mind when you're awake but you aren't quite aware of that fact until something breaks it. In this case the breaking factor was Aelric. Aelric rose and started stoking the fire, sighing heavily. Dusk...
Stay the cold.
To say it was cold would be like comparing a puddle to the ocean, it was FAR below freezing. That's what you'd expect from where and when Graham was. The Arctic circle, approximately true north of Norway in late December...it was very, very cold. He...
A Long way. part 3
Scott and Dusk followed Aelric, Scott rather reluctantly. Every time he walked to close to him, Aelric would let out a growl forcing him to retrat to the safety of Dusks protection. _"So...your name is 'Ulf'?"_ He asked Dusk, careful to keep away from...
A Long way. part 2
Scott woke up slowly. Blinking to clear the sleep from his eyes before looking around. It was still dark. _"Of course it's dark."_ He whispered sleepily. _"It's winter."_ He tried to reach over and pull the thick blanket over him, but struggling to...
A long way.
_"It's a long way to Mukumbura. It's a long way to jawl." _Scott sang loudly as he made his way through the front door. Dumping his bag on the ground as any self-respecting teenager would do. _"It's a long way...from your home town. But you can have...
Worthless part 5.
**Not so long ago."** I was still only semi concious when I began to regain some senses, I was lying on a bunk. Little more than a table of wood with a sorry excuse for a pillow. I couldn't see, but I could smell the odour of stale disinfectant and...
Worthless part 4.
**_Not so long ago._** _"Get up!"_ Ruaridh commanded. I obeyed, rising to my feet and standing in front of him looking at the ground. Only for him to hit me in the stomach again. I doubled over but stayed standing. He hit me again, and again, and...
Worthless, part 3
**Five years ago.** _Wake up. Get up. Stand up. Shut up. Listen up._ Such is life. Such is _my_ life. "I_ live because you allow me to live."_ Repeating the phrase again. "I_ am worthless."_ _"One more time..."_ Ruaridh insisted. _"I live because...
Worthless, part 2
**Not so long ago.** _"Listen up!"_ Silence fell, and listen we did. "_My immediate employer has been hassled by the company commitee to "Abide by the rules of the SPCH"_ Ruaridh spoke slowly, as if we would struggle to understand. _"Don't get your...
Worthless
"_See any you like_?" This voice was familiar, it sounded friendlier than usual. Then again, that wouldn't be hard. "_...Maybe._" A second voice, I didn't recognise this one. I couldn't see him for the blindfolds we wore but I knew it was a...
