The rebel commander stormed across the parking-lot.  Her long-coat flew like batwings, dark as the sky above them.  Her hands swung loose at her side, seeming to point the driving wind and rain toward her enemies.  Her pace measured the distance between her and the foe and found it wanting.  Her bare, tattooed scalp reflected the searchlight, rai…[Read more]

Look into the sky, little heart, and see the twinkling distant reaches.

This is the last night.

We all smelled it.  We all tasted it.  We all heard it.  We all felt it.  We all saw it.

This is the last night.

So little heart, reach your heart out: The stars are yours if you just reach.

Go beyond the implants tangled in your body.

Go bey…[Read more]

You enter, but leave your body behind. You can walk away but you can never leave. Not truly. We can always find you, darling. You remain in our cyborverse. Once you enter you can never leave. No one can stop you here if you’re good enough. There is no justice, there are no rules, no system, no confines. You are alone. But we’re always here, dar…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien , Thanks!

Dang. That’s a punch story!

Its the little things in life, you know? Thunderclaps, lightning strikes, a cute little brother in your lap, a quirky kid’s show on the TV.  Little things.

It really puts life in perspective.

Especially when you realize you don’t have a little brother and you don’t know what day it is and this is not your house and that is not a thunderstorm.

@law0413 Your grandfather sounds awesome!

Thanks! Who knows…maybe I’ll work up the nerve to post a section of it on the forum some time. 🙂

@sam-m that sounds incredible! My grandfather was an undercover cop for years so I love all things mystery and true crime. I’d love to read it sometime!

@law0413

Hi, Laurel. 🙂 Your story sounds super interesting! I’m especially intrigued by the psychological part. I love mysteries. Incidentally, I’m working on a mystery novel right now, where the protagonist is trying to solve his parents murder and take down the crime boss who killed them (and a lot of other people).

Also, I’m seeing a ton about Dracula and I just finished it for class! Jonathan and Mina Harker are lowkey marriage goals

@sam-m Hi! It’s about three middle schoolers lost in the woods after a tornado, kind of playing around with the nerd, class clown, and school bully dynamic. One of the characters is separated from the other two and isn’t sure if he’s dead or alive, which is where the psychological bit comes in. For the other two, the story follows the…[Read more]
