Part 2: Felicia Romero This story takes place in Stormbringer's E&I Series. --------------------------------------------------------- Prologue: "Hey, boss man, just wanted to be one of the first to congratulate you on your latest purchase." Will said, talking into his cell phone. "Thank you, however, kudos to you as well for suggesting this to me. The...
This story plays fast and loose with Ancient History and Linguistics; be warned. 'Here be Dragons' wasn't always a tourist gimmick. Editing magic performed by KJ24 and Shyqash, plus contributions by the regular gang of brigands and neer-do-wells. There is a bit of mangling of the Iliad going on. I apologize to Homer and the countless singers before him wh...
"Get a telescope." That was all the note said. I checked and it was post-marked from here in the city but with no return address. The hand-writing was fluid and broad, a woman's hand wrote this. At first I thought it was something for the prior tenant of this apartment until I flipped the envelope over again and found my name in the same fluid script. I h...
"So..." Zu'gar started, her voice quiet and subdued as to not be overheard in the rear of their caravan as she lay on her back, relaxing casually atop her sleeping bag with her hands folded comfortably behind her head, staring up at the slightly billowing fabric that was their roof, "Any idea what this city will be like?" Lace glanced over her shoulder at Z...
Chapter 7 Six years earlier... Corec waved a serving girl over before taking a seat with the three other trainees. Before he could order, though, his friend Kevik stood. "It's on me this time," Kevik said. "It's your birthday." Corec nodded. "Thanks." Kevik ordered a round of ale while Trentin and Barat looked around, wide-eyed. It was the first time th...
All characters in this story are 18 years of age, or older! Long time no see peeps! Sorry I've been gone for a while. Life happens sometimes and it's been a busy couple of months for me. Been under some stress and it's caused a pretty lengthy bout of writers-block but, here's chapter 1 of my latest story. Hopefully it won't be too long, before you get to se...
Her name was Raine Snow and she was a dream. First unanticipated, then poetic and epic and transcendent in that order, continually confusing, and finally gone in the groggy early morning. It was a couple of weeks ago, and I was at the Hogshead, a whisky bar on the Upper West Side. It wasn't my regular, but I'd been there a few times before. Rehearsal i...
This is a continuation of Michelle's Continuing Affair. In order to understand this story, you'll need to read those first. Again, thank you very much to Nicki Taylor for help with editing. Mike left for Seattle Sunday morning after breakfast. Shortly after he left, Michelle and I sat down to talk about the weekend. "Honey," Michelle started, "I need to k...
This story plays fast and loose with Ancient History and Linguistics; be warned. There are two distinct phases of falsehood. In the first, you realize you can lie to those closest to you. In the second, you realize you shouldn't. Editing magic performed by KJ24 and Shyqash, plus contributions by the regular gang of brigands and neer-do-wells. There is a b...
~Norm~ The front door opened and closed, and Nock walked into the living room. "Guys? I think he's back." I got up from the couch and went to the front window to look out, Nissi and Wendy close on my heels. The black BMW from two days before was rolling up the long driveway. We had all agreed that if the FBI were going to show up, it would happen within a...
