Short Story

Cleaning Up
Daniel grew up on the greats: King, Herbert, Saul. As a child, he imagined there was a new, horrible thing waiting for him around each corner -- a prospect that terrified almost as much as it thrilled him. He and some buddies went through an urban exploration phase, scouring the map for abandoned warehouses and condemned mansions, crumbling government buildings and half-lit hospitals. They had fun with it, their backpacks rattling with flashlights and cans of spray paint as they bumped their bikes over railroad crossings.

it was all just a dream
I had a dream, a beautiful dream, and he was in it, he was. I don’t even know who he was or what his name was. All I knew was that he looked familiar, his touch felt familiar, his gaze felt familiar and I felt so at home around him. I would kill to have this dream again or have him appear in more of my dreams again, but it hasn’t happened as of yet. Well un-ironically, one can still dream. I remember it all so vaguely, it started with me sleeping, probably dreaming inside a dream and then i heard slow footsteps approaching me and i felt my heart do somersaults in my chest as i felt someone come closer and closer until the presence stood by my bed, then sat on it by my side and i felt like my heart stopped, i felt a gentle hand on my shoulder and this presence started to shake me, i mustered up all the courage I had and turned to face it or rather, him.

The Turn of Fate
Author's note: This follows Trial by Fyra. Naythan threw himself to the side landing hard on the snow with a grunt. "Oh for god's sake. Not again." he grumbled, before he hastily got to his feet and dashed aside to avoid yet another blast from the sorceress. He ducked beside a tree trunk and peered around it to see Lor'kan still standing behind the sorceress, arms crossed, watching the proceedings with interest.

Cards. Content Warning.
She opened her eyes to the brightness of the room. She'd dozed off again. She shuffled herself into a more comfortable position slowly and carefully. The TV was still on from earlier. She'd had it on for company.
