After calling into work and requesting a "personal day", I forced myself to get dressed and get myself in my car and to the appointment that Clarice had made for me. Sitting on an obnoxiously comfortable chaise lounge in a richly appointed office, I watched the tiny woman scuttle about, humming to herself, lighting a few candles, dropping some oils into a di...
It was a beautiful day; the sun was out, casting its warm beams on the city below. There was a cool breeze that complimented the warmth and carried the heady smell of the lilacs through the air, filling the hall of the big brick church on Gotham Street. The sun shone through the stained glass windows casting different tones on the walls and the floors, illum...
“You’ve finally come!” Brittanya was sitting by the cliff, admiring the view of Beldem. Though there wasn’t much to see, it was still a pretty sight from time to time. The small hut-like houses were beautifully lit by the full moon and by the numerous stars, and the chilling breeze gave the trees of the town a peaceful motion. Her legs hanging from the edge...
"USS Surefoot-A, Captain's Log, Stardate 45300.18, Captain Esek Hrelle, Commanding: We are on approach to a sector of the Federation-Cardassian border bridged by the Arkady Cluster, a quasar-like phenomenon of collapsed stars listed as a Class-6 navigational hazard due to the Murasaki Effect it produces. We are here ostensibly to refuel and refit the squad...
Her head reeled with the strangeness of it. The feeling of being both participant and prisoner. Thunder clapped loudly from outside, the alarm of it causing her to bite down on the ball gag between her lips, flinching. That added pressure pushed a slick line of spittle drooling over the perforated plastic ball and off her full, glistening lips. She heard a...
Protectorum Aeterna Brief interlude for my other series, "An Eternity in Bonds" * Leaving the city under darkness, Nemikos missed most of the carnage in the morning. He heard about it though, from the peasants encountered past the Gate of Sacrifice. The Eternity Gate was ravaged by none other than the Lord General of Dominia. It seemed that the war was in...
Chapter 4 “I thought he would be here by now.” Tariq said looking at the neon blue clock that hung above the stage. He looked up to see Leila and Harnati in a dark corner on the opposite side of the club. Harnati was biting at Leila’s neck in a lustful passion…Leila always did like it ruff. He could see pleasure written all over Leila’s face as Harnati sunk...
Chapter 1: The Mist She lay on the bed, her body drained by the weather and the pace of life. The Washington summers were always hot and humid but this one topped the cake as far as she could remember. Her short linen skirt and lacey blouse had stuck to her all day, clinging to her like a cat clinging to a tree limb by the tips of its claws. But not now, no...
A/N: Hey all! I just wanted to apologize about any confusion from the last chapter regarding Tempest and her mutation. To answer everyone's question, YES, she's dragonish. (At least, that's my term for it.) Don't worry, the upcoming chapters will go into more detail about what that really means. ;) Thanks to kitten2010 for editing this chapter for me. Any f...
Alice woke up with a start; she had had another nightmare, only this time it seemed so real. She got up and walked to the window of her small room that was her home, and her prison. Alice had been locked in Williams mental hospital for almost a year now. She did not remember much of her life outside the hospital, mostly just bits and pieces of a broken child...
