Long Hard Day
The door slammed shut behind the Toucan, followed by the flop of his shirt against the wood-plank floor. "If I have to spend one more minute in another pointless meeting," he thought to himself, as he kicked off his shoes, thankful to finally be rid of...
Jasper's Oddysee (B1)
Jasper set out on the path towards the Gate, the middle path. A gate meant escape, or so he rationalised. Perhaps it would be freedom, or at the very least a passage to somewhere a little more recognisable. He had a only just set out on the path,...
Serule's Summoning
Serule stared intently at the book placed on the lectern in front of him. The chamber air was thick with the strange smells of magical reagents, and there was no discernible breeze. "Seems about right," he muttered to himself, his eyes darting from the...
Jasper's Odyssey (S2)
The fire was warm and comfortable, which was more than Jasper could say for any of the three paths. He sat back down and stared into the flames, wondering what had gone wrong. Perhaps, he rationalized, he had hit his head; he had amnesia, and that's...
Jasper's Odyssey (C2)
Jasper shrugged, returning to the little man. "What do I have to do?" The man beamed up at Jasper. "An excellent choice, sir! And if you don't mind me saying, I think these will be perfect for you. Follow me." The man clicked his fingers and a panel...
Jasper's Odyssey (C1)
The path to the farm was a verdant one, with vegetation of all kinds growing along the route. Vines and roots and shoots pocket-marked the path, and the stones were cracked and caving under years of pressure. Still they glowed brightly in the...
Jasper's odyssey (A1)
Jasper felt light as air as he stepped along the path. The cobbles beneath his feet barely made a sound as his feet found their way forward. He didn't know necessarily why he had chosen this path. Perhaps the beach was something he found fun - and so...
Jasper's Odyssey (S1)
...He falls. It seems to be taking quite some time. He tumbles through the black, head over heels, arms over knees and beak over flippers. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but there was something odd about that last part. The sensation of...
Cassi & Isaac
**Isaac** I had a fantasy about committing suicide again today. This time it was in my car, cruising down the endless roads, wind in my hair and the radio crackling with my favourite music. There was something in the middle of the road - a mass of...
Nocturne: Introduction
Fair old Nocturne Across the lands the cities rose like giants, shore to shore. The viral plague of humanity spread over hill and dale. The souls it nurtured ate and drank and lived life to it's full, never doubting what they knew of brick and bone...
Untitled
Borne above the ancient surf Which washes all the words away And cleans the shore of many thoughts 'Til only strongest clung remain, The statue sits alone in bronze- -cast, facing into the pressing gale. A wave of crash and slosh and...
12 Fairtale Close
I do love her. I know it's hard to believe when I'm sitting here and she's just standing there. My arms are on the sides of the ridge-backed chair, my body is warmed by the heat from the softly flickering fire behind the grate. I know it's hard to...
