Agent James Cane sits at his desk reviewing the evidence collected so far, a simple police investigation has led to exposure on the main terrorism finance network worldwide. Millions may be saved by chopping the head off the snake. It would seem that somehow, the brightest minds had been contracted by her to create some form of mind control in order to subd...
~~Otrera~~ Well, shit. "Darian, wait!" she said. Damn man was going to wreck the world if she wasn't careful. "Why should I?" "You don't know what'll happen if you kill them. You could start what Charon was talking about, or who knows what." Darian snarled, and a rasp that sounded less like him, more like the first time she'd heard the mask came through...
~~Otrera~~ Patrius showed up come dawn, as promised, as did the three men. No bandages on his skin this time, not after Chimera explained it didn't help much. Once Otrera and her companions had taken a whiff of Athena's gift, they set out into the night. Sneaking around at night was much easier with Athena's special jar of whatever to wash away the curse....
~~Darian~~ "... Bellerophontes." The world stopped. The air petrified, the breeze ceased, and the crickets and birds faded away. The world died around him until it was as if sitting atop a stage, lifeless. Cold crept along his skin until he thought his tears might have frozen on his cheeks. They weren't, but every sense in his body told him they should hav...
Author's note: This story and the ones to follow are set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Credit goes to Games Workshop and their publication company The Black Library. The events of the story are my own, and though I'm no professional author, I hope I can do some justice to the characters. To anyone who has read the Horus Heresy novels, this takes plac...

Also, there's not a lot of sex here, so if you're looking for fast action this may not be your thing. * * * * * From September of 1928 a weekly advertisement accompanied by...
the vegetative bud Wild singing was in the air, as a loud chatter settled over the clearing- far away from the heart of his camp. The soil was dead in Naxos, and this spot the most barren of all and most in need of a fertile blessing from the gods- but only after much comparing handfuls of earth, and discussing the tiny wriggling inhabitants of the soil an...
a dreamer Ariadne dreamt, and in her dream she lay on a bed of woody vines. All around her were strange flowers, those strange petaless things which were newly woven into her consciousness. They wound round her with the softest of affections, tickling her face. They were strange unknown things given by her lover, things which she hadn't truly known in...
Notes This story takes place in my fictitious town of Malvado Playa California. It's the next day after the events in Camera Buff. If you haven't already read my story Camera Buff, please read that first! You'll enjoy it! All characters in this story are over the age of eighteen... but just barely! * "No, really, Dude. What's the deal with Rona Barrett?"...
Love the support readers! I read all the comments and e-mails, and appreciate the feedback greatly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~Chimera~~ "Gods I need to get laid," the Amazon said. Chimera rumbled something like a chuckle, took a deep breath, and sat down next to her. She was leaning against a rock, standing, and him sitting down next to he...
