"It's like... everywhere you go has a little impact on you. I want to have a little impact everywhere I go too." She brushed a few strands of hair from her forehead and straightened up. A green ribbon fluttered where she'd tied it to the bus stop bench. She smiled at it softly, then she... Continue Reading →
Embrace the Sun
Last week was difficult for me. For a while, I would try to start working on something, then feel suddenly sick and stop. I had all of these feeling inhibiting me and nowhere to put them. Until I started writing. (Go figure.) This short fiction is pretty obviously highly allegorical (and also half inspired by... Continue Reading →
“Table of Understanding” – an EDEN story
"We probably shouldn't mention we went to a lower level." Artie Chen ticks the extensive list of things not to mention to his parents on his fingers as he and Jay Dee ride the lift up to the higher levels of the OTC. "Or that we've been investigating things. Or that we know anyone involved... Continue Reading →
“Dancing Lights” – an actual-play short story
Two weeks after seeing Infinity War and I'm still not over it. Don't worry if you haven't seen it; there won't be any spoilers in this post. In fact the only reason I really bring it up is because my campaign D&D character for the past ten months has been Gameia, a tiefling assassin and... Continue Reading →
“More Than a Blank Page” Short Story
I've been sitting in the same corner of the same coffee shop staring at the same page for hours now. I've reached the dregs of my coffee (and swallowed them too for good measure). I've started to massage my neck, praying my back won't kill me later (though I know it will). The page is... Continue Reading →
“And Pass By” Short Story-Ish
I cannot deny that the sight of that battered body tugs on my heartstrings. His flesh is maimed, so it is unidentifiable as flesh. The color has been pounded black and blue and blood flows like tears from still open wounds. What scraps remain of his clothes are so stained by the mud and blood on... Continue Reading →
“The Cradle Grave” Short Story
Again, I find myself pulling from my past files for a post. As I move into the new apartment and adjust to the new job, I have struggled to find time to craft a new blog post. So, in the meanwhile, I wanted to post something. As always, I fall back on short stories. And,... Continue Reading →
Snapshot Stories Pt. 2/?
I can't say how many of these there will be. These three snapshots compose the second post in a series I can't put a number to. The first can be read here. Thankfully, these didn't manage to be as depressing as the first set, with #6 perhaps being the exception. These, more for me maybe... Continue Reading →
Snapshot Stories Pt. 1/?
Many photographs line the hall in route to my office. Though they are all recognizably pictures that are housed in the Archives, they are not obviously attached to moments, stories, or people. It's a long hallway too. Walking by them everyday inspires me, in a sense. Every photo in that hallway has a story we... Continue Reading →
Zutara Week 2013 Compilation
Not everyone on my blog may be interested in reading the fanfics I wrote for Zutara Week 2013. Still, I figured it'd be good if I compiled the links to all of them. Of course, I have no rights or claims to the characters, but it is a cool experience to try and get in... Continue Reading →
