This is a continuation of # 13 in my first series of Guild stories. And, yes, if anyone is confused, Voluptuary_Manque and voluptuary_manque2 are the same author. I just had some computer issues and had to 'reincarnate' myself. ***** "Ah, Miss Lavish," Accumulata had been escorted from Lady Sybil Hospital to the Patrician's Palace and then immediately in...
Loud banshee shriek, steel frame buckling, then tearing like the sound of aluminum foil, (whip, whip, whip), oxygen rushing, a hurricane, escape pods bleeding out, cabin ripped apart and blown out into vacuum, a torrent of debris, then the abrasive heat when the hull hits the atmosphere. Lieutenant major Danica Miles managed to get her suit on and sealed bef...
A cool morning breeze accompanied the early dew draped over the luscious green landscape; dots of deep toned buildings and brick and road settled over talk grass and spattered lively trees. Veili; Southern Keloneth; a small vilage that had just recently been attacked by strange creatures. In the letter Essel had received; it described "Ferocious; dog sized...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is the final chapter of "My Life is Different". It's the least erotic of all the stories I write for this website, and it's the one that generates the least amount of fan-mail. I've also pretty much run out of ideas for things for Buffy and Willow to do. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was once my favorite TV show, and I've enjoyed breathing som...
Lya checked her perimeters and cursed when the flashlight attachment underneath her pulse rifle flickered out. The sun was setting, the daytime visibility abysmal with the air chock full of plant spores. She noted with some amusement and gratefulness that with each step in the jungle battlefield's puddled ground, the water glowed with bioluminescence. Neon a...
Davin's clock showed three in the morning as he killed the engines and drifted to a halt. His map showed him to be within a mile of the beacon and he didn't want to miss it in the dark so after resetting a couple of switches Davin set the truck crawling forward at two miles an hour using the electric motors. After about twenty minutes Davin could see the re...
I went through that day on autopilot. I kept thinking back to the night before. Was it...real? Did I dream it? Am I insane and hallucinating? Or was there something more...supernatural about the things that have been watching me for so long? Only two of them had ever had physical contact...of any sort...before last night, but I kept thinking of how many o...
There's a generation coming up now, many of whom have been saying that the Experimenter -- also called 15226 -- is a figurative thing, not to be understood as a real being, and was more likely just an institution from the old-world governments using smoke and mirrors to pawn itself off to me as some kind of cosmic entity. They say that would make me less lik...
Chapter 02: The Feast of Souls "Why pulls thou the rose?And why breaks thou the stem? Or why comes to CarterhaughWithoutten my command?" * * * The first thing that I noticed when I awoke was the noise. Voices of all kinds were raised around me, in conversation, conflict and song, some in English, some in what sounded like Spanish or French, most in a lang...
Samael had a meeting scheduled with a woman named Vanessa Rovencroft in a week's time. She all but begged him not to do anything impulsive and wait until they had their meeting. So he did. He promised and waited patiently. On the outside at least. Inside he was a nervous wreck. The expectations he had from himself were high. Samael made sure he was well pre...
