Demiverse: Rural Life 2
I was surprised at not being the first car in the parking lot on the second practice session. On the third, I realized that a trend was forming. We practiced on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. Being a farming community meant most people were...

“Yes yes, and here she is, of course, Miss Skeks Kestra, I hope I have it right." Samin was in a pleasant mood for the meeting, the man always was on for the correct circumstances. A few words in the right ears ensured that by morning everyone in town...
The Third Chance - Reboot
_Nothing can compare to the ingenuity and cruelty of the human mind_, the words of my instructor rang true all these years later. As a detective, you get used to seeing things that most normal people would steer far clear of. As a detective working mob...
Demiverse: Rural Life 3
Bright and early I made the walk to the end of the driveway. The GPS would get them to the gravel road that my uncle's farm was off of, but I wasn't sure how close it'd get to the actual driveway. The weather wasn't oppressively hot yet, that'd change...
Demiverse: Rural Life 4
Prior to the day trip with Kisa and her daughter, I couldn't tell you the last time I had fun going shopping, but I think never would have been accurate. Even my trips with Allison had been merely 'meh' at best, rather than just being completely...

Ferad woke with a start and immediately regretted the sudden movement. Everything above his waist ached dully, but whatever he moved throbbed horribly in response to the effort. In spite of it all, the pain also meant he was still alive. He...
Demiverse: Those of the Light - 2
He'd never really lived in the house. Sure he stopped by every once in a while to clean the place out, but beyond the table, a small lamp and three remaining chairs, there wasn't much in the way of furnishings. The place at one time was probably a farm...
Demiverse: Agents of the Realm -- Chapter 2
Marek headed straight for the exchange counter. The smuggler shouldn't be in any particular hurry, unless he just wanted to distance himself from the arena. Judging by the stunned look on the man's face and the fact he hadn't moved from the pit's edge,...
Demiverse: Agents of the Realm -- Chapter 3
Aiyesh stared for a moment, unwilling to believe her own eyes. The hairless didn’t have nearly the eyesight she did, and while they were riding she kept watch to make sure there wasn’t any sort of trail left behind, intentional or otherwise. She didn’t...
Demiverse: Those of the Light - 5
Ferad woke far earlier than he wanted to. The sky wasn't even fully light yet, as only a ribbon of lighter blue decorated the eastern edge of his view through the forest. The elves may be able to run on little to no sleep, but that was the elves....
