Greetings! We're having a tiny New Year party at my house, so there won't be a short story post today. I intend to publish the next part of Shadows tomorrow, though it's possibly it might come later than normal, depending on how the morning goes.

Shadows, Part 2
Shadows, Part 1 For now, he reopened the piece he had been working on. It was for a fantasy novel about a world where dragons desired to replace humanity by breeding with them. He found it to be an odd — even off-putting — concept, but he wasn’t paid for his opinions. The writer had … Continue reading Shadows, Part 2
Shadows, Part 1
Adrick unclasped his lens, whipping it free of his face. His heart rate, resting low just moments before, spiked. The flexible band came away easily, draping down across his shoulder. Adrick blinked. Nothing. His loft was empty. The stark light, filtered to a pure white by the translucent shades pulled over his windows, illuminated the … Continue reading Shadows, Part 1
Happy Holidays!
Posting on Daydreams should resume 12/26, as I take these two days to celebrate the holidays with my family.

On those days he has to fight to get moving, for it always seems, before he starts, that there is nothing to move toward: that … Continue reading Everything Around Him

In the year that would later come to be known as 0 N.D. by historians, a sequence of events occured, the repercussions of which were experienced worldwide.

As such, it has been studied exclusively not only by historians, but by anthropologists, arcanologists, sociologists, … Continue reading The Death of Language
The Sewers
This immediately follows Toward the City. I originally meant to publish it the next day, but somehow I managed to forget. I have no cloth to cover my face, and Garth doesn’t provide me with one. The smell is unpleasant, to say the least. I bring my hood around my face and breath through that. … Continue reading The Sewers
The Paths
There came a point along their path when it split into two. There was no telling, from where the path forked, where either side might lead, and so there was little too guide them in their choice.
