"HHHAAAAAAAARGH! *CLANK*" My sword clashed with my opponent in the fields of Onderon. The swamps of the northwest were the slaughtering grounds for thousands of the people in the local militia. As Cardan, the last leading officer still standing, I was left alone with a single enemy. I am a middle-aged man of a noble descent from the family of Oldeo. After th...
*The final part of the story started with the Howling* With widened eyes Shintaro and Brit shook their heads in disapproval. "That's suicide Ken," the mercenary protested, "You can't just take them on by your own." "Baby you can't do this alone," added the female scientist. "That's a direct order Shintaro," Ken sternly told his subordinate. "Alright, I...
There's a loud pounding on the hand-carved front door. Bradley Kane looks up from the Wall Street Journal. "Hey, open up in there!" a muffled voice shouts over repeated thuds. Brad crosses the lavishly decorated living room. He swings the door open and stares at the dark figure standing in the night shadows. The man is about twenty. Long, slicked-down ha...

Ruby stuffed her arthritic hands deep into the folds of her warm Barbour jacket. Wind shivered through the bare tree limbs. With it came rain: icy horizontal rain that crept inside the snug shelter of her hood and pricked at her face. She gritted her dentures together and trudged on through the woods. Wet leaves, fallen on the ground, clung to her Wellington...

Dave peered ahead of himself as he slowly moved down the dimly lit passages of the old, musty castle hotel he was staying in. He had decided on this one for his two week vacation because he figured, if he was going to go to England, why stay in some boring Hilton hotel, why not go for something really authentic! He'd checked in earlier that evening, and now...
The dark streets of the city lay deserted in the heavy rain. Though still far from the front lines of the Vampire Wars, the citizens knew that it was not safe at night. That was the vampires' method. Small numbers of them would infiltrate cities and towns, blending in among the humans, ambushing the vulnerable, leaving no trace except for the vanished ex-hum...
