I hoped that I, Roger Gathers, would never be put in the situation that I had found myself in. Terry had been my best friend most of my life; we were the stars of the Little League team that came in second in the state, and he was an All-Conference pitcher, and me his All-Conference catcher, in High School. We rented a limo and doubled-dated for the Senior P...
(Continued directly from Magic Girls Ch. 02 - Public Affections) Cindy was trapped in chaos. She had no idea what was happening. She could feel her body rushing extremely fast, but couldn't see anything. There was the occasional flash of light, but there was really no indication of where she was or what was happening. She was trying to remember how she go...
The Chaotic King lifted the silver chalice to his lips, the low rumble of voices around him making his ears twitch. The pleasantries making him shrivel on the inside of boredom.

Chapter 1 -- The Click of Heels I figured it had been about an hour since I last saw anything other than the stamped concrete around the pool. My knees ached and my neck was starting to throb.

The pleasure of the Governor was Bagoas' charge, for he was Overseer of the Harem. This, of course, meant he was a eunuch. He had been gelded at the age of ten,...
This is why I hadn't bothered to join the resistance in the first place. These guys were nuts. Stupid, and crazy. I mean, did they know who they were talking to? We were sitting in one of the old bars off the port of San Drumais. One of those places that used be dugout palaces of the El Durar chieftains back before I was born. My father used to take me ridi...

Tortuga, 1706 Davy Jones stood watching the Radiant Discord sailing away in an attempt to catch up to the Hades' Whore. Contempt with the loss of battle, he smiled to himself. A pulse shot through the sea in that moment and he could already feel the heartbeats pulse. He was tied to the sea by that accursed Ancel. But that was where his anger stopped and th...
"If you were to sell me one of your chickens, dear lady," the middle-aged man smiled at the woman behind the barrow laden with chicken pies and morsels of roasted chicken.
