“Wait, where’s Jake?” Sarah asked David as she sat down at her desk. Last thing she needed was Jake not to show up today. He had been managing their new accounts. ”Gone.” David said solemnly. ”Excuse me? Sarah asked taken aback, “what do you mean, gone?” ”Boss fired him yesterday.” David said not looking up.… Continue reading It could happen to you
August 23 – 24? I guess it’s still Aug 23rd. I had the strangest experience today. I’m not sure how to explain it. First I fell asleep on the plane and had a dream that the plane lost power and began to fall from the sky into the cityscape of New York. Not being afraid… Continue reading Dreamlands (Part 2)
[Another old work I dusted off… might tweak it a bit] Elric~ It is said that great men forge their own destiny, and this is what I expect from you. When your mother died I know it has been hard for you moving like we have, but it has made you who you are. Use… Continue reading Dreamlands (Part 1)
Yesterday I finished the first draft of a story I started all the way back in 2012. I had the idea based on the Dresden Files as well as Muramasa the Demon Blade video game. An odd mix I know but I think the core idea worked… What didn’t work as well is actually how it… Continue reading Samurai Jin [Breakdown]
I charged forward along after him. Drawing my sword into a swing, I attacked at Ooruchi who suddenly transformed before me into a massive eight-headed snake. One of the heads lunged towards me, and I narrowly avoided its strike. Ikiru, on the other hand, was using my distraction to work his way towards Inazagi who had… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 36)
We all stood there until Inazagi finally broke the silence “I never thought you, of all people, would make it back here Ikiru.” I saw that he moved his hands down to what I saw were duel katana, one on each side. “Well, Inazagi, that’s just how much I hate you,” Ikiru responded, preparing to draw… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 35)
The darkness turned to a bright flash of light, and I found myself with Ikiru in a long hallway. The walls were made of wood like a castle and banners hung on them. In one direction it seemed to stretch on infinitely. In the other direction, there was a door, with a large seal over… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 34)
[As I’m super busy this week plus today is the 65th day of my writing, I decided to bust out an old story intro I had written back in 2011! Crazy. Perhaps I’ll write more of it sometime. It’s a piece that was inspired by the anime Haruhi Suzumiya. I’m sure it’s not very great… Continue reading Summer Blues
“There’s a shortcut we can use.” Ikiru continued. “There are paths which lead directly to our destination, it’s said that no one knows all of them… but I know of one.” “This would have been a great thing to mention earlier. Also, how do you know it while no one else does?” I asked. “It’s… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 32)
Ikiru began shouting as he pushed against the oni ramming down the doors. For a moment they were evenly tied until suddenly the massive oni started to give and the doors slammed shut, leaving us in darkness. I began to feel cold. Wow, you’re pretty strong there. I said awkwardly to break the silence. Also, isn’t it getting… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 31)
