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 →

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 →

The Heart: Part 2

The tests continued. The prisoner was sent out on the streets (under surveillance, of course), and ordered to hold up this bank, to rob that store, to pickpocket this man, to throw that plastic cup into the river. Each time, the prisoner tried, he exerted all of the willpower he could muster to just pull … Continue reading The Heart: Part 2 →

The Stranger in a Subjective Land: Pt 1

Adrian soared across the skies as he looked down at the road below. The Consensus Bureau insisted that there be a road down there, but not that it have any particular appearance. In Adrian's reality, that road was paved with the whitest marble on earth. He oftentimes wondered what the crystalline city he saw looked … Continue reading The Stranger in a Subjective Land: Pt 1 →

The Heart: Pt 1

The Heart made a high, happy sound as the surgeons removed it from its box. Those sounds of sentience amazed Dr Stewart, and he doubted they would cease to. Gently, he removed it from the box and assessed the patient's brain, sizing up exactly where to place it. Then, slowly and steadily, he took the … Continue reading The Heart: Pt 1 →

A Typical Chat

Stop talking to me. I mean it. No, I'm not going to ruin this. Stop, I worked hard on this painting and you know it. Yes, this is the best I can do, and I'm rather content with it. Stop telling me to cut myself, it's not going to happen. Well, this paint could use … Continue reading A Typical Chat →

A Message at Midnight: Part 3

I went to the basketball game, I put the folder under my chair, and I sat there for the rest of the game, just as I was instructed. The folder didn't explode, the folder didn't gas the room, and by the time the game was over, it was gone. In its place was a small … Continue reading A Message at Midnight: Part 3 →

In-Body Experience

The man watched as he saw the entity walk into the house. He watched as it took the knife and stroked it across its hand, relishing in the blood that resulted. He watched as it came into the bedroom, walked to the sleeper, and methodically stroked the knife across her body. He knew that the … Continue reading In-Body Experience →
