This is an idea if, in fact, one of Altair's target's was a woman, what could happen. This is my first story, so please be kind in your comments. The man in the white robes set the archer down, blood running out of his neck. The man's hidden blade retracted into it's sheath, concealed underneath the left sleeve of the assassin's garment. Following the grate...
There's a crack in the sidewalk by my toe. Bright, hurtful light from the passing cars flows along the street like iridescent liquid, filling the crack with its brilliance briefly before moving on. It moves on and leaves me in the soft, candy-apple glow of the signs. The pretty signs make me pretty too; all electric blue and red... A man wearing a suit tha...
CHAPTER 21 I walked into the parking lot and unlocked the door to my jeep. "Are you coming with me?" "Where are you going?" "Oh, I thought I'd go to a bar, get wasted and drive home drunk. Want to baby sit me while I throw up on you?" I narrowed my eyes and grinned evilly at Taurin. "So, you're going home." I slid into the front seat and started the eng...
Chapter 8 The room contained two women and eight men, including me. We were in a shack in the middle of the jungle, less a room than a box. Ten people to take out an army. I liked those odds. No one ever woke up one day and said, "I'd like to be an assassin," at least not out loud. If I had to put our job description down on paper that would be it: assassi...
He didn't know what happened. He doesn't why he's awakened to so much darkness. The last thing he remembered was going home to get some sleep and an electric shock came over him. Was it a taser? Was he taken? Besides waking up in the dark he couldn't get up . He was sitting down, tied to a chair. He couldn't feel any circulation on either of his wrists. Too...
Ahmad Dekhtah and his men hit the road at dawn, leaving the pickup where they had slept. Ahmad had come that way many times, to go and fight around Kabul, so he knew there was a hut near the road in that zone. And he thought that if the medic and the two Russians had seen it, they likely stopped there for the night, though he could not be sure they were real...
*** An excerpt from SOUP Wars *** Kerin groaned gently as loud and obscene noises from the room next to him disturbed his gentle slumber. He eyed Felina. The snoring fairy seemed unfazed by the ruckus. The young Gypsy covered his head with a heavy blanket, hoping it would muffle the obnoxious and rather obscene sounds. It didn't work well. Kyern's new room...
Chapter 10 Carter traced the money from the ransoms to a powerful terrorist group run by a man named Jorge Riaz—the Commandant to his followers—to the place in Cantana. They were funding their cartel by kidnapping affluent American tourists and ransoming them back to their families. The Greenwich Country students were the largest group they'd taken to date...
This chapter is sort of gay, so consider yourself warned if you're a straight guy. With a faint popping sound, more than forty figures appeared in a parking lot. From a position several feet off the ground, they landed with more or less grace according to their natures--thirty tempters managing graceful rolls, ten sword spiders crushing the cars beneath the...
+ Masterman Loki was standing on the top of the small hill just outside his village. He was staring north at the village of the Artarians. Artarians were neighbor of his tribe, Tiberians. But their relation was the worst one anybody can imagine. A war had been going on for almost a decade and it was getting worse each day. And at this point the feud betwe...
