Pietas: Ad Honorem

Calling Card of the Mistress

Time was a construct, and days were abstract concepts designed to help discern the passage of time. As an abstract concept, days were made of nothing but the sheer will of society's claim they existed; today, however, Crisp could swear days were...

Horrors Of The Night

"I fucking hate parties." "Then why do you keep coming to them?" "...I got my reasons." The two voices floated carefree across the night-shaded dunes of the white-sanded beach. They danced over the softly lapping kisses of the ocean waves...

Moonlight

Cicadas had long played a secondary role to Gaisu's life. They had filled the silent air of the night of his first kiss. They had narrated his first act of mischief as a child. And now, they hummed a war-tune as he stood amidst the blowing tall-grass...

Last Friday

There's a lot of ways you can spend a Friday night. Getting laid comes to mind, or maybe a pint with some buddies. Hell, maybe a pint with your buddies before getting laid; the number of people to sleep with, and the number of pints to drink defy...

Vore For All: Tim The Tiger & Friends

Battle of the Bands

The Noisy Fucks were twenty feet away. Their hair was greying, and their clean-shaven faces showed a mid-life geared towards proper morning routines rather than angry, objectiveless, rebellion. They still moved like they cared though, and for Kaira...

L.I.M.B.O

How many years had the same cries been heard? The demands for accountability in government, and the cynical distaste for the political elites; they didn't know what it was like to be poor, cold and starving. If only the average man was given the power...

A League of Her Own

There were sports for every type of fan. Some favoured the chill of a hockey arena, some the rugged turf of a football field, while others preferred the sun-lanced warmth of a baseball stadium. Today a different type of fan had gathered, the young,...
