Miles High
Miles High The 'Miles High' club was a small bar on the outskirts of town. A place that required as much an invitation as it did the right clientele, it was a place for fliers, for the winged and ethereal folk to meet and greet, and rarely opened it's...
Club Pangaea - Home, Breathless Heat
With a hot breath, I lay between Ikram and Sumaya, and felt their bodies hold snug to mine, to leech the heat from my body as I sweated under the tropical air. I was hot - terribly hot - but I didn't move, because I felt too good. Ikram...
Club Pangaea
Club Pangaea The beats thumped the walls and shook the patrons, coming from the great speakers along the walls. Beating, like the hearts of an angry dragon, the ferocious sound pushed aside all worries, all conversation, and all distractions but the...
For'se; Gentleman Kobold: Liberations
The rap-tap-tapping awoke him from his dreamless slumber, which jerked him up from his bed and his pillow, wiped the drool from his mouth, and force him to role up to his feet, with a blink. It was rare to get a visitor,...
Alien Pain
The darkness is pleasing. The rains left, though the sky still rood heavy across the sky, filled with rain yet unfallen, Amidst the breeches of sunlight, shadows danced and played a merry game of chase and stalk, much...
To help from afar
"I love you." I sat in the black silence of the room I had been left in, my hands folding together over the crown of my staff, and I listened to Nehemiah as she hurried out, and away from where I had laid beside her. The sheets...

Under the auspice of a dark light, and held in the quiet dark of a kennel, and behind a glass screen, I lay on a small mat, hoping for a chance to get free of my cage. I was naked, laying with my arms wrapping around my torso and my chin against...
To love from afar
And so with my staff against my chest, I lay my head down upon the bar, and listened to the quiet din of voice and song. My staff to my chest, I laid my fingers across the polished oak wood, and swayed slightly, lightly, against the current of...
Deeper-than-Oceans
From space, Undarius was a big, beautiful blue world. It was big, thirty percent bigger than my home world, but given to a sixth less dry surface, making the beaches long and many, and the many archipelagos and islands dance with lush...
Precious Cargo
"I know. They look like spiders." I remembered those words as I slowly crept through the rubble and ash strewn streets - the fires burning not a thousand yards distant in this once great hive-city of the Alechar. Moving through the wide branching,...
The Lonely Watch
The Lonely Watch Miami can be lonely when you have no one to curl up against. Cigarette in hand and a bottle of tequila at my side, I sat at the front of my small shack and kept watch for my two-weeks of required service. Fifty miles out,...
Relics: Dancing in the rain
Relics. There wasn't much use for an old, grey haired doctor like me any more. No, someone could go to an auto-system and get a full diagnosis as well as a listing of medications and treatments for a wide range of conditions, from hives to...
