The Helping Hand

A man was lost in a void. No heat, no light, no up, no down, no time, no space, no matter, no idea, no hope. He had no will or strength left, all he could do was sink in the cold, blind, silent emptiness. He fell, but heard no wind. He decayed, but felt no … Continue reading The Helping Hand →

Don’t Say “Don’t Sin”, It’s Not That Simple

Don't get me wrong, I'm not endorsing any kind of sin. If one is given the opportunity to sin, one should obviously avoid it at any cost. Just because God forgives the sins of all who repent does not in any way mean that one shouldn't try to be the best devotee of God one … Continue reading Don’t Say “Don’t Sin”, It’s Not That Simple →

Bosses

Queen_Braava walked into the chamber, her dragon companion close behind.“Is this where they used to fight you?” she asked.“Oh, yes, it was horrible. Every time one of your kind came in here, I’d appear, fight, maybe win (until they respawned), maybe lose (and still have to fight again). At least you were just a puppet … Continue reading Bosses →

Solitude

I slip into the waters of my mind, waves lapping at my ankles. I look around and see nobody near. I walk, until the water surrounds me on all sides. I'm the only one here. How peaceful, my solitude! I reach the edge of the shelf and look into the depths; It's all silent and … Continue reading Solitude →

The Pit

The hole in the ground scared the girl. She found it in the forest on her walk, and when she looked into its depths she saw… nothing. It was so dark that she couldn't see the bottom, or even the sides. She dropped a rock into it and waited for a splash… and waited, and … Continue reading The Pit →

The Castle-Part 2

        The man walked on through the courtyard, if it could be called that. He felt some deep draw towards the front entrance, and felt as if there was some room waiting for him in the heart of the castle. When he entered, the hall around him was shrouded in iridescent, translucent carpets and curtains that … Continue reading The Castle-Part 2 →

The Blinding Sight

The man came home and saw his family dead on the couch. He vomited at the sight of their shocked and frightened faces, but worst of all was their eye sockets. Their eyes had been completely burned away, the skin around them scorched and scarred. A gelatinous soup ran from the sockets, and the man … Continue reading The Blinding Sight →

To My Mother

What have you given me? Why, here’s a list: You gave my body and a brain and half my DNA, With all the pain of birthing, that’s something extra, eh? Some joyous years I spent with you, and then another gift That took up my spot on your knee, though you soon closed that rift. … Continue reading To My Mother →

The End is Yet to Come

When you're broken, and you think yourself beyond repair, When you see light flicker out before your eyes, When your burdens grow beyond your strength to bear, And it seems that hope is lost forever, The end is yet to come. When you've fallen father than you think you'll ever climb, When there's no way … Continue reading The End is Yet to Come →

Sorry for the Schedule Slips

I haven't been updating as often as I was, and I'm sorry for that. I will try to stay on schedule as much as I can, but frankly, this being the last few weeks of school, that might be difficult. I'll be back on schedule soon! I apologize in advance.
