Newlyweds John and Doe driving to a hotel to start their wedding night in Mexico . When their car breaks down John checks under the hood, Doe tries using her cell phone to call a garage. Shit! Doe curses at the cell phone, the batteries were dead. Doe knew it must've been her bitch of a 19 year old stepdaughter Amy making calls at all hours. John says, &quo...
We had just finished an emergency call (I'm an EMT), and it was about 3:30am when we returned to base. "We" was my partner, our "ride-along", and myself. My partner decided to go to bed as he was tired, but the ride-along (we'll call her Monica, a 18 year old nursing student) and I were still riding the adrenaline rush of the call and decided to stay up and...
Oh God, there she is again, James thought excitedly as he looked out the window. He was sitting in his room on the first floor which gave him a perfect view of his neighbour's front yard – a perfect view of his most secret dreams. Down there, in her own yard, Mrs. Cinder stripped off her clothes and lay down on a blanket, wearing only a red and white b...
The arena where Lord Winsom would face his squire, Fireheart, in a duel that had been fought thousands upon thousands of times since the beginning of the Feylands and the start of the Tellings was the most remarkable structure that Lucas had ever set foot in. The fact that he was here at all was almost distracting him from the fact that a friend of his was a...
Lucas sat on the bridge of the Enterprise and frowned at the orbital chart. He was reminded, obscurely, of one of the many shitty 20th and 21st century spec-fic shows that Helen had crammed down his eyes during the long, slow, stately voyage to Arcadia. It felt like a thousand years before, like a lifetime ago. It was a time where magic was relegated to vids...
If he had been asked, two weeks ago, the Librarian would have been shocked and offended at the intimation that he had anything in common with elves. He'd have bristled, wriggled his facial tentacles, and radiated a low level sense of offended, cattish disdain for the entire day. Librarian had been selected, after all, as the majordomo of Lord Winsom's estate...
As a poor, unlucky farmer you've always dreamed of becoming something more - even having ambitions as big as ruling the kingdom of Averlon! But due to your lack of magical abilities, strength and intelligence you've never had a chance, until now... Shadows of the Throne is a fantasy story that also features a range of magical races and creature. The world of...
The undead marching down the winding road that cut through the reclamation zone glowed like purple torches to Cinder -- visible clearly to her dark adapted, magic sensitive eyes. She leaned against the small, wooden doorframe of the cottage and heard Markova cursing under her breath and the labored breathing of Kaleb. That sound, that sound of raspy, crinkli...
Thanks again to shygirlwhore for editing. There's more planned for these two characters in future, but this is how things start out for them. I hope you enjoy! * * * * * At the end of a lot of days, Lucinda just wanted to scream. Work was a constant enervation. She could easily have lived off her comfortable private savings, but she had agreed with her h...
Building 4. I hate that building, of all the crap that comes with being a security guard, bad pay, poor hours, and of course being portrayed as an anal retentive loser. All of those reasons pale in when compared to how much I hate building 4. It just sits there in the middle of the North Yard, a half-mile from Milner's main plant. During Wisconsin's winters...
