Wayfinder's Journals (1)
Day 46 I can hardly believe my luck! Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would be allowed access to the capitol itself. The grand city of Ocala surpasses all the legends I've heard, truly it is an oasis secreted away within the desert. I could...
The Life and Soul of Rikh Ghanyr
The nerve of him! The moon is full, and we are far from civilization; the conditions are perfect for me to finally convince Cappo to relay to me the Ghanyr legend. He set up his candle and began with his verse; "Moon, descend now and bear witness to...
Chapter 1
Prelude So you found me... congratulations. I suppose that means you want to hear my story? The legend of how it all went wrong... of how good intentions led us straight to hell. Of how it's all my fault, because who else will stand in to take the...
Lone Wolves
KS: He was new to town, the kind of arrival that only draws attention in all the wrong circles. He had no wheels and little cash, but once you knew the gutters of one city, you knew the rest well enough. People don't change even when the sights do. ...
Prelude
Our story start as most stories do... with war. Ours is a violent people, with conflict reaching all the way back to the stone age. Greed and envy, wrath and intolerance, prejudice and racism, any cause was a just cause for bloodshed. The myriad...
Voltage
My memories are made from blood and pain. I don't mean to be dramatic, but it's a simple fact. Death heralded the beginning of my life. Not my birth... no, when I was born, I was normal enough... for a wolf, at least. I don't look it now, but really,...

Just Stories

Dry Eyes, Cold Hearts (Ch. 11)
"Just three. I challenge you." "You have nothing to wager with! Your life is forfeit, and your soul is condemned before both gods!" "I disagree. I challenge you to a trial by combat. If I lose, you are correct, and you may bury me beneath the earth....
Long Way Down
For years, I'd dreamed of becoming a pilot, navigating the inky black reaches of space. It didn't matter what I did, or who I worked for, I just wanted the freedom bought by a star ship. My dream was, unfortunately hindered by the fact that I'd pulled...
Sick Hearts
Gloryhole floor: the ultimate anonymity fantasy. Two rooms, separated by one wall with a single hole on it. The room is mostly bare, not much to it. The lighting is good, but it's not like it'll help. You can't be entirely sure who's on the other side...
Dry Eyes, Cold Hearts (Ch. 5)
