Most written fiction consists of the narrative description of characters and their actions. While this technique serves to communicate the author’s thoughts to an audience, readers can often infer the same information if the author makes careful use of dialogue. Screenplays use dialogue in this manner. It is true the playwright also makes suggestions for act...
Elevated Encounter John went into the elevator. Thankfully, it was empty. He hated having a crush of people around him, needing at least an arms-length of personal space. Too many bodies in close proximity made him anxious. His stomach growled, complaining of a late lunch. The doors closed and the elevator started down and stopped at the next floor. The do...
"Are you ready?" Veronica smiled over her desk at Desirée. "I guess so," the teen answered slowly, rotating her wrist to relieve her writer's cramp. The two women were sitting together in Veronica's office, looking out over the darkened street. The clock radio on the side table blinked 10:45. "It's all right if you are nervous." Veronica turned off her co...
Author's Note: The main characters (Gabriel Knight, Grace Nakimura) are the property of Sierra / Vivendi Universal and Jane Jensen. Okay, moving on... This takes place after the events of GK2: The Beast Within, and it's part of a fanfic that I never finished. I wrote this when I was 21, so it's rather rough compared to my later stuff. Enjoy. * * * Grace...
Chapter 1. Let's Begin "Welcome apprentice." The wizen old sage wore a face of solid stone. Not that I would have wished for a more animated reaction to my entrance into the Federation Tower. If anything I wished I could crawl back onto my scratchy hay-filled mattress rather than be standing in front of a fully fledged Sage of the Demi-Mage Federation. S...
I "Drink it" Those more innocent times seem impossibly remote now that they have gone for ever. It astonishes me to reflect that it was actually less than a year ago that a sudden loud knocking heralded the unexpected late-night appearance of a policeman on my doorstep. This is an event that would terrify me if it happened today, but in those days I was st...
My name is Terry Blanc. Political-correctness pundits would call me a 'sufferer of hypercognitive disorder'. More colloquial types would say 'hypercog'. But really, I'm what you'd call a mad scientist. I'm a young one, admittedly, but no less powerful a mind for it. I've been running Technophilia – my high-technology electronics store – for a couple of year...
In this world, people are somehow shrunken and transformed simultaneously. The means and reasons for this are varied and range from magic to technology up to universal hijinx, from accidentally up to purposefully! Rules are simple: at least one character should transform or shrink (preferably both) characters transformed into something inanimate retain thei...
I was pulling away from the hotel when she walked in front of my car and I almost hit her. She was very distraught and was crying. I got out to make sure she was OK and she begged me to take her away from there. I allowed her to get in my car and we just drove away. She called somebody and told them her client was dead. That no she was not positive but sh...
[In Heat follows my other stories on Literotica by 6-12 months.] * Coll McDiarmid intended to relax and enjoy himself tonight. It was in his capacity as five times winner of the Sen-Tae and Sen-Gae Universal Championships that he had been invited to present the prizes at an award ceremony for martial arts visual entertainment. A senior Underground offic...
