Celebrating the fantastical. Let your imagination run wild.

Ch. 1 Luminous; the Present Time "I have here, a list. No, not just a list. The List. The reckoning of all your days. As all humans commit both good and bad deeds, your own life’s deeds will be expected to bring both penance and dignity, humility and arrogance. Your questioning is also expected." It said methodically.

An Unexpected Gift
Lily was a daydreamer. She often fantasized about what she would do if she suddenly developed super powers or got transported into a magical land and had to embark on a thrilling adventure with a dashing stranger. Or what would happen if she encountered a spy, or better yet had to become a spy! Lily craved mystery and danger. Or at the very least some kind of diverting escape from the monotony of everyday life. Just as she began to wonder just how one went about living a more adventurous life, she caught a glimpse of sign reading “Adventure Awaits” with an arrow pointing towards an alley at the end of which was a unmarked red door.

From Reign
An outsider, outcast, an alien to society… Overlooked by the rest of this world for the kind of person I was, looked down upon because of the history of my forefathers. We were a proud people once, vibrant, happy, willing to do what was right for others or so I was told. During the time of the Great Vidia, we explored the vast void of space for any other beings like us, beings who shared the same concepts and ideas as our great race. For many years our explorers searched the emptiness of space surrounding our world Reign, with little success it was concluded that we were the only beings within this void. Then from out of nowhere, without warning or any signs of a peaceful meeting, they came… A violent race of beings that saw our world as another colony for their empire. Our leader at the time of the invasion, ‘Doorna Auroralis’ sought to extinguish the monsters from Reign. Rallying all of our greatest warriors we engaged them on the Great Plains of Lalm, but we were no match against their advanced weapons and machines. The Great Elvainan people, regardless of our destined fates continued to fight for the future generations of Reign. But our quest for honour became our downfall, the enemy blaster our cities which stood for millenniums to dust. Leaving no part of our history to be seen for those future generations expect for ash. From the destruction of our cities, they came in numbers storming through our land and taking us captive and off world. That was the story my mother told me before she died here on this curtseyed rock.

Bounty: Greed
This is one of my first published works that I got paid for! I was so excited that someone believed in something I wrote to actually invest money in it! It appeared in Issue 6 of Gathering Storm Magazine. Don't worry if you've never heard of them, they are a now defunct magazine.

The Little Black Book
The Little Black Book By: Jessica Trussell The rain was persistent that afternoon, which appropriately fit the mood of sorrow. The sky was weeping and so was she, a young woman mourning her grandmother whom she had been very close to. She wiped her pale cheek with her fingertips and sniffled, observing the deep cherry stained casket being lowered into the freshly turned soil below. The ivory rose she placed atop leisurely vanished from her line of sight as casket came to rest at the bottom of the hollow. Once the service came to a close, she received several more condolences from the attending spectators and sauntered to her car in silence. With the close of the car door the sound of downpour on her rooftop was almost maddening.
