A Conflict of Interest
Sun, mountains, valleys, and most of all, the fact that I had managed to twist enough arms to get permission to take my three years worth of leave on sunny Alkonas. A world of beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, stunning views, yet with all the...
Night at the King's Carnival
The noise of the crowd rose above the sound of the sea. Located right next to the Laguna Bay, the King's carnival was as good a carnival as one could find. In fact, its attractions have brought tourists from all over the world to the bay just to see...
Game of Tombs (Good Ending)
A dragon sat alone on a carved wooden chair with his wings tucked behind against its thick backrest. He spent the last twenty minutes staring at the office he was sitting in. It was furnished very well with regal tapestries, stone busts, and large...

A Pet is for Life
The doors to Peryce Academy opened as a ton of students streamed in, all of them wearing the school uniform. The guys were dressed in a white shirt with a navy blue jacket, black pants and a red tie while the girls wore a white blouse, black skirts and...
Can’t Stop the Feeling
Perhaps it was the way the rolling-pin-like object sat in the antique shop, leaning against the stand in its glass display window. Perhaps it was the way it reflected the beams of mote-flooded sunlight off its smooth, rounded surfaces. Perhaps it was...
Living in Denial

Cool Joys of Pool Toys
There's something tranquil about the lazy spells of Saturday afternoons. Just long enough to wind down after the last day of work for the week, and far enough from the Monday dread that seems to ruin the final hours of Sundays. Something about the way...
Life Imitates Art
Moonlight shimmered through the many glass windows that lined the studio wall, bathing the high-ceilinged room in its soft blue glow. Harmonising with the navy hues were the yellow lights of two lamps, each one mounted on a slanted drawing desk. One...
Caught off Guard
Moire grimaced. The shack loomed over the hills like an ugly wart on the face of the Earth. Unlike the quaint wooden cottages in the countryside, this house was made of grey stones stacked together to form its uneven walls. Additional rooms were built...
A Villain’s Trap
Skyhawk ran down the corridors of the Zolaris Research Foundation, hastily surveying the wreckage around him as he rushed forward with his superspeed powers. Guards laid unconscious on the floor. The ceiling lights flashed red, accompanied by...
Airtight Security
In the darkness of the corridor, you carefully unscrew the metal panel and take off the digital keypad. After reconnecting some wires, the door beside you slides open. You sneak into the lab before the door closes behind you. The laboratory is dark,...
