The Blue Moon
Thump. Thump. Thump. Marko's splitting headache was only worsened by the angelic rays of dawn light pervading the room. He stumbled out of bed and steadied himself, reminding himself with every step that this hangover would always be better than the...
The Prisoner of the Prince
"The prince? The real, actual prince?" I am visibly flabbergasted. This is a new one in my book. Rufus has the same old gritty look on his face, but I'm sure underneath he's just as surprised as I am. "Don't look so surprised," he says. "Sometimes...

Summer swelled into a glorious, pulsating plethora of azure skies and long, blazing days and Allison's favourite time of the year was fast approaching; his annual camping trip with all his closest buddies. The only unfortunate downside was that the...
Allison's Day Off
Another lazy summer day off in the life of Allison Towers. The sunset beat a golden haze through the windows, speckled by shadows from the lush canopy hung over Allison's woodland home. Birds twittered outside and a breeze swam through the branches...
The Vortex
