Short Story

To Return Home Again
It’s the hundreds of ribbons and bows tied to the Blarian tree that serves as my motivation to leave once more. I sit on a nearby crate of supplies: ropes, pitons, mess kits, spare daggers, crossbows, and ammunition that’s prepared to be loaded on an airship. I’ve looked through our cargo about a dozen times by this point, so any longer would be pointless. It would be worthwhile to trust the others to load everything correctly for our mission.

Love at First Sight
Watching her curled up in her favorite chair, reading her Kindle, he thought about how lucky he was to have found such a beautiful creature to fall in love with.
