The Graves Awoke

It was not the light of the sun that woke the Graves, nor the chirping of birds, nor their clocks, internal or otherwise.

April Shower

I walked through the town, inhaling the pleasant petrichor scent brought about by the light spring shower. The sky was somewhat overcast, but plenty of sunshine descended through the many gaps.

The man, if that's what he could be called, wandered through what could've been considered a city full of what might be called people. He was lost, confused, alone. The maybe-people about him had ceased to be people a subjective amount of time in the past, or was it the future? As he looked about … Continue reading Subjective →

Animal Unchained

The man lay in his bed, dreaming peacefully. The moon’s rays slanted in through the window. The man awoke, looking upon the silvery light in the room with a contented smile on his face. Then, the thought struck him, and the smile vanished instantly. Sweat began to trickle down the man’s body, and his breathing … Continue reading Animal Unchained →

The Minosoa Case

In the small town of Minosoa, the people prided themselves on their cattle. Their cattle were the fattest and most profitable around.
