Lucky had, had a different name once. Not that she could remember what it was. Sometimes, she caught flashes of it, the life before the one she was living now. Someone singing to her in a language she didn’t understand. Flashes of fire and a terrible roar. Creatures with tusk and leathern armor. The feel…… Continue reading Lucky, Or Wild Elves

Mr. Morton’s Vampire
Mr. Morton needed a new pair of shoes. The store wasn’t that far from the bank where he worked, so he thought he could get there, get in, and get out rather quickly. Unfortunately, he didn’t leave work as soon as he anticipated, so by the time he arrived the sun had already set. Fortunately,…… Continue reading Mr. Morton’s Vampire
In A Fantasy Word, Everything Is Trying to Eat You
We open on a dark, empty cavern, illuminated by a bright, white-sih blue eternal-looking light. We can see a young woman creeping down the tunnel. We can see the young woman looks like, for lack of a better word, that she had gone through the ringer. She is barefoot, in a tattered powder-blue robe smeared…… Continue reading In A Fantasy Word, Everything Is Trying to Eat You
Collared
The minute Scarlet saw the boy on the ground and the man standing over him with a whip, she knew her trading trip wasn’t going to go as planned. He wasn’t a small man either; he was tall and thick and broad shouldered, with a black wide-brimmed hat and a neat stone-colored beard on his…… Continue reading Collared

The Prince’s Great Matter
Nowadays, they called it Prosopagnosia, or face blindness. Back then they didn’t know what to call it. Many who knew about the situation thought it was a curse, that the King and Queen had angered some sort of witch or fairy, and the fiend had taken it out on their son. Prince Liam just called…… Continue reading The Prince’s Great Matter
The Selkie
Agnes put her keycard in the door, stepping into the bright white entryway. She loved her job, but she hated how the entire building was colored in sterile shades of white. Also being called in at five in the morning on her day off wasn’t helping her mood. Almost immediately as she walked into the…… Continue reading The Selkie
Meet The Parents Dinner
Oddly enough, the first thing Beauty noticed was the rosy pink marble veined with deep emerald green, creating a striking contrast on the floor. It was certainly not the color of the floor she had been walking on for the last three months. Confused, she looked up into the face of a young man who…… Continue reading Meet The Parents Dinner
