Glass Winter | Chapter XI
Restless, restless. Tossing, turning, tossing. Clarity fading in, and dissolving. Panting, panting, panting. He was running. Malcolm was running.

Blips
Dark Memoirs - Index Wait. The mushroom tattoo. Was that not an earlier victim? I am not sure. I have had blips in the early days of my vocational work. Blips when sanity checks afterwards forced me to close systems that should never have been open circuits in the first place.

The spell that turned land to darkness - Part 3. Content Warning.
I couldn’t escape. That much was clear. I was no longer bound, but I wasn’t free either. Blake had released me only to drag me toward — God knows what hellhole he came from.

Honey, I shrunk the bad guys.
our jails are filled to capacity, they are expensive to run, and even so, the inmates live a good life inside, color t.v. Weights, basket ball courts, food, medical facilities. Access to libraries, legal advice and lawyers. For a lot of criminals, it is like coming home. They are protected by their gangs, provided with drugs and anything they want while incarcerated. And for the real evil ones, the death penalty isn’t even much of a threat, liberals have pretty much taken that off the table. So a bunch of mad scientists got together and invented a device that could shrink a human down in size to the microbe level. ( they weren’t really mad scientists, but it was fun to describe them as such). In fact, they were respected scientists who had been working on this project for about ten years for different reasons to solve different problems, mostly medical applications. Nanotechnology.

Puss's Boots - Chapter 3
“There was a most interesting joust; did m’lady have a chance to join in the festivities?” “My sister does not take part in such bloody events, Lady Heightmyer. Was it a fair tournament?” Orlando’s voice was cool, refreshing to hear to Caoimhe over the sugar-heavy voices in Court. He stood straight and tall, and, to both Orlando and Dione’s good fortune, his hands were steady on his teacup. Puss, seeing the poise that his two charges managed to display smiled a secret cat smile, curled up on his accustomed spot on the window seat, and feigned a nap during the proceedings.

Emerald Flame
Was it still following me? It must have stopped by now. I glanced over my shoulder. The persistent creatures’ amber eyes flashed with fury as it struggled to keep up with me. For once I had no clue as to why it continued to chase me. It had kept within pursuit of me for quite a long while. Personally, I had hoped it would have turned and fled at the mere sight of me, but as usual, no such luck. I beat my slender wings effort fully, darting this way and that, trying to lose the creature, but to my bewilderment, it always managed to regain control and follow behind.

Puss's Boots - Chapter 2
“How truly beautiful she is, Master Cat!” Exclaimed the pleased Master Detective that afternoon as she gazed upon Dione’s likeness. “Why, Cat, if she is half as intelligent and kind as her portrait is handsome, I have half a mind to beg her hand on the very spot of our meeting.”

The Gates - Chapter One
The crevice widened into a vast chamber, its silence broken only by the faint hum of a glowing mark etched across an ancient skull. A brilliant blue light pulsed from the bones, shifting like reflections across a subterranean pool.

Puss's Boots - Chapter 1
Orlando was barely nineteen when he suddenly found himself the head of his house. He was still more a boy than a man, but, now, he was the sole man left alive in his family. And he had a sister – his youngest sister and twin – who needed him to provide for her. Except that they had nothing; all that they owned had been destroyed in the fire that had claimed the lives of their parents and other siblings. So now Orlando and Dione, the last remaining members of their once large and happy family, sat on what was left of their front steps and tried to determine their next move.
