Longway From Home - Chapter 1: Orbs of Bullshit
The car rumbled as it drove down the road. Looking out, I could see buildings pass as I rested in the back seat. I made a game out of counting them to pass the time. Eventually, I got bored of that and instead looked into the rear-view mirror. I could...
Penny gets Processed
Penny the piglet was excited and worried in equal measure. Earlier that day, she had received the government letter ordering her to report to her nearest doctor's office at 11:00 sharp. It was Processing Day, the first such day since she had turned 14...
Goddess of the Throne: Named Master
_Named Master_ The woman that had bought Lyon glanced curiously down at her. She seemed like a nice enough person, if a little odd. Confidence radiated from her like sunlight radiated from the sun, though she probably had good reason...
Goddess of the Throne: Snow Flower
_Snow Flower_ "Sanya!" Lyon woke drowsily at the sound of the voice, her ears drooping lazily. In front of her knelt a green robed man, his face twisted into disapproval. Confused and wondering what she had done, she hastily opened her mouth to ask...

The Learnings of a Mage: Meet your Maester

Proper Care of Construction Equipment - Chapter 1
The weird thing about waking up was that he wasn't really waking up. Rather, Stephen gained a mounting awareness of the things around him, such as the fact that he was lying in bed, that everything around him was white, that there was a dull, but...
The minds of planet Altra
I wrote this poem like when I was 14 I had quite an imagination back then, still do, but it's now tempered a bit. This is about the mindset of a lone feminine being (My character named "Via")on my planet, Altra, home to my own little world! She is of a...
An Alternate Path, hiatus explanation
Well, I've been sitting on chapters 5, 6, 7 and 8 for a while, and I've written myself into a corner. The main character is facing a dilemma which I am unable to resolve. It is also a crisis which I cannot deal with in this forum. So I'm putting it on...
Proper Care of Construction Equipment - Chapter 8
Wasn't it strange how you could tell someone's identity by how they did small things? That's what Stephen idly thought to himself as he heard the knock on the door. Two rapid raps of the knuckle that conveyed urgency, or perhaps a few coffees too...
