Echoes of The Fall She awoke to the pitter-patters of rain on her cheek. Eyes struggling to open, the scene beheld was one of confusion. She could not discern ground from sky nor wall from floor. Eyes closed again, she inhaled deep and steadied her mind. Forced to squint at new-found light, a gleam of […]
Grane Day 2 is up in the short stories section. It’s ‘aight I guess. Grane as a whole is meant to have very little dialogue and a whole lot of exposition. We Used to Be Someone is meant to have a whole lot of dialogue. Grane is going swimmingly and is probably competing with Chime […]
Day Two – Another End She carried herself westward, quenched by the witch’s own well. Living as she had, one could go weeks without food, but still merely days without water. The sands were calmer now, and visibility was high. The rare delight raised the huntress’ spirits, for trouble could better be avoided, and respite […]
She had forgotten how old she had become. Time had lost all meaning. The hourglass lay smashed and her sands strewn all across creation. Weeks? Months? Years? Did she even age anymore, or had she become eternal like the desert she walked? She was just another grain of sand in the ceaseless storm, and so […]
There was no light. There were no sounds. There wasn’t another soul inside, not even the festering company of a rat or a roach. This was no cell for criminals, no this was something different.

Keelan wasn’t taken by her at first, the younger of the Zvijezda sisters, Brani, was much more to his carnal tastes, but Cath’s strangeness endeared her […]
Chime – Chapter 4 “It’s a nice place, huh?” Officer said with a smile as he opened the gate to the “orphanage” and led me inside. “You’ll have fun here!” Ahead of me was a large white house. Much wider than the Old Lady’s house, but just as tall. Besides the dirt road that carried […]
When We Were Strangers- She had never been one for words. Stifled by fear, or perhaps simple loathing for what she was, the blacksmith’s daughter rarely made much more than a peep around anyone but her close family. “Go fetch us some bread from the market, Cath.” Her father had said. A simple task to […]
