Night of the Hunt 1

Colour started to drain from the world, as the setting sun washed everything with a generous spray of golden light. It turned the crinkled, brown leaves into glowing embers of a vast campfire, one that would still be hot for an hour or so. The real, if...

Straight From The Tap 2 - A Puzzle of Flesh

Raucous dance music pulsed through Rich's body as he sat at the bar. Men tried shouting over the top, ordering drinks for themselves and each other. Everything seemed to be filled with a general buzz, no matter where you were. He couldn't even hear the...

The Junkyard

Having gone well past the rainbow-branded flags, coffee mugs, throw pillows and other kitsch; beyond shelves of dildos, fleshlights, inflatable partners, and erotica - both printed and video - Rob stood in the smaller, dingier segment of the store...

Locker Room Dogs

This wasn't like me at all, following some guy into the men's changing room after a workout. I'd seen guys working out, or going in and out of the showers, and maybe looked a little longer than decency allowed. That was fine. This was different....

The Hunting Lodge

Tyler wiped his eyelid; having the camera's viewfinder up to his face on a regular basis seemed to be making it irritated. "Great," he thought, feet squelching as he followed Brandon's less-encumbered steps up the hill, "one more thing to add to the...

It was more like a wide hiking trail than a road. Even by country road standards, it was pretty rough going. Jacob's car shook and shuddered the whole way, but he finally reached the clearing containing his destination. Looking exactly like it had...

Homesick

"Yo Jay-MIE!" I shouted, giving him a quick high-five before letting him get his hands back on the controller. "Yo, yourself," he said. "How was last night? I'm guessing good, since you just got in." "Dude," I informed him, "I think I'm in...

Unearthed I - The Discovery

# Unearthed ## Part 1 - The Discovery Furiex slowly swung the pick-axe, the tip embedding in the massive blob of gold that had been unearthed days earlier. He was one of the lucky ones: gold was a lot softer, even in this highly unusual form, than...

Party of Ten I - The Latecomer

## Part I - The Latecomer "Shit!" It was the mantra of a man who seemed to be running perpetually late. His flight had gotten snarled up at the airport, meaning they touched down half an hour behind schedule. Once he had landed, and cleared all the...

Potions I

# Potions ## Prologue - The Discovery "What's it say?" Connor demanded, grunting as he sharpened his axe, the blood of rat-men still dripping from the blade. The barbarian had been irritable ever since the battle had ended and the party had started...

The Christmas Spirit

Terry and Adam had come in on a whim. They already had gifts for each other, and were still looking for gifts when they'd taken a wrong turn and ended up somewhere that at least gave them a laugh. Adam had asked, "Do you want to go in? We could get...

The Great Outdoors

Sometimes when the outdoor calls, you have to answer. I dressed quickly, taking nothing but the essentials: clothes, keys and - since the moon was heavy in the sky - a flashlight. The last wouldn't have been needed, but I planned on going further...
