Ruby laid in bed. She gazed at the adobe walls of clay and straw that surrounded her. She had built this cottage on her own. Using what knowledge she had learned when she was still in the city, and learning the things she didn't know by sheer creativity. Her bed was sculpted as part of the wall, jutting out in a gentle curve of sand and clay. The mattress wa...
While many of the animals of the world now live within cities and homes of wood and stone, there is still a large selection of them who spend at least a part of, if not all of their lives out in the wilds they used to roam, living mostly normal lives, though sided by their new forms and enhanced intelligence. They stick to the basic script of what they used...
(Features non-con and plants!) The camping trip wasn't a complete waste, even if it had been raining all night. Katy left the tent, poking her head out to check the weather. The rain had finally relented, although the sky was still overcast and threatened to downpour again. Her boyfriend, Brandon, still sleeping soundly, he had carried most of the gear, he...
***This is the second part to "The Forest", in case you hadn't already guessed. I'll be more thorough with my edit as there were some glaring errors in the last one. Enjoy!*** *** Why have Mike, Philip and Lilly abandoned me? There was no reply to my screams, to my cries for help. Sweat glistened in the fading light off my stomach. That viscous green ooze...
The alarm began ringing at exactly 7:00 as always, sending its mind numbing beeps echoing through my skull. My dream of owning the world's largest greenhouse fading away; quickly being replaced with the dull gray walls of my bedroom.

There once was a small town where time seemed gently paused in the middle of spring. The weight of recent rain hung perpetually in the air, though no one could say the last time rain had fallen. Visitors were strangely rare despite the pleasant climate. If anyone ever cared to ask they would have learned that the townspeople like it that way. One day in tha...
The golden sun slowly rose above the horizon. Just as slowly, the air meandered across the plain, and the crystalline water trickled along the nearby streak. With equal languidness, the many multicolored flowers slowly opened their petals to the cool air of the dawn. Slowly, the sacrificial ceremony was unfolding. She stood, tall and proud, as erect as t...
Hello again everyone. I'm sorry for the massive delay to this chapter. Not only had work got on top of me the last few weeks, but I've also been looking after my dad, who had a knee replacement surgery. For those who e-mailed me about my health, I am not only fine; I greatly appreciate the people that not only ask if I am ok, but also am eagerly anticipating...
Chapter 4: Deal with a Warlock With Ken on his back Oden set out to Elth. As the two entered the gates, they saw magnificent structures. Fountains that emitted a liquid with every color of the rainbow, the buildings were cone and pyramid shaped with beautiful silver mists traveling around them. The two saw every glorious detail; this was truly a city of mag...
Elwan sensed that he neared the witch's lair, he could feel the hair on his arms crawl against his skin. The deathly quite this deep in the forest made the beating of his heart deafening in his ears.
