A Chance to Touch
The doors of Amsey Middle School burst open with a flood of students heralding the weekend with whooping cheers. Everyone carried a jacket or sweater of some sort. Layering up made sense this morning, but a heat wave rolled in after lunch. The trees...
A Chance for Something Different
CHAPTER 1 _Traitor._ That one word, in Marilyn's voice, made his head swim and twisted his gut bitterly. He wasn't sure his stomach was up to taking his cream-heavy coffee just now. He had to remind himself to breathe. Simple questions churned,...
Binary Null
**Binary Null** J2 reminded himself often just how lucky he was to be alive. He sat cross-legged on a particularly rusted deck plate, idly clinking a couple links of his chain together. He had a small compartment to call his...
Sundered
"Wish me mum could see me now," Slat sighed, luxuriating in his perch atop Zathreigan's back. "Wager not too many wererats get ta ride a dragon like this." "Mind your big head, some of these branches are pretty low." Zath quietly prided...

One They Fear
One They Fear Odahviing gazed out across the ash-swept crags and spindly spires of stone. He'd never seen such a gray land... It was depressing, but it befitted his mood. The sun was barely a glow behind the edge of the thickest clouds, sinking...
All that Glitters: Touching Souls
Xavi dozed at some point, and had no idea how long it had been when she awoke. It could have been hours, for all she knew. Long enough to get a very stiff back, leaning against a stone wall as she was. The dragon's morning nap dragged on, and thinking...
All that Glitters: The Lost Tongue
"Xavi, come on girl!" She stirred at the elated whisper, blinking at the ceiling. "Eh... err?" A slightly arched ceiling. A small room. Swaying slashes of light from a partly shuttered lantern. "Hop up, Xavi! You asked me to wake you, remember?"...
All that Glitters: Where Life Abides (Clean version)
