Tales in Vladini
The sounds of the market filled the air, merchants hawking their goods, the giggles and excited words of children, and the occasional words exchanged between merchant and customer. Edgewood was a decent sized village, and the last stop for travelers...
No one is home anymore
I stared out the window, not paying attention to any of the familiar scenery that passed us. Five years since I left and I had thought I would be happy when I can back. Excited to see all my old friends and favorite places. But all I felt was numb. ...
Forever by your side
**Forever by your Side** By Odlan Solaz * * * My hand clenches tightly around my pencil, a soft curse passing through my lips. My eyes glare at the numbers on my paper, its black lines thick with my failure. My eraser, furious and unforgiving,...
219B
This is short. It's a 1000 (ish) word story based on the prompt. This week's prompt was "A bully meets up with his victim years after high school." I liked the idea, but I haaaaaated what I wrote. I like the premises, even if it's super cliche, but I...
Downpour
Here's last week's prompt for my Writing Group. The prompt was, "You're jaded and cynical, and nothing that people do surprise you anymore. But this sure did." If you're interested in joining our Writing Group, join us at:...
A leap of Faith
"You know Zindel, you really do not need to do this." The annoyed leviathan just gave me the side eye from the driver's seat, "you know i would believe you, if you i didn't know you better. It's been over a week and you still didn't ask him." ...
inproper timing
My family history is a bit complicated compared to most families I know. My parents divorced when I was in middle school. From what my Mom said, Dad was cheating on her with someone they knew and she filed for divorce immediately after learning about...
What is hope?
As a child, I would think that the world was a wonderful place. It was filled with nice people and nice things. Everyone got along and helped each other. The people in charge knew their responsibilities and fulfilled their duties. Any conflict or...
Black Fifteen
Another of my writing group's weekly prompts. This was last week's, and it was "Where do we go from here?" I suspect most people went a completely different route, and I don't blame them, but I decided to go with something more light-hearted! If...
Beast
A blur of red destruction teared through the forest, crushing tree trunks and rocks alike in unbound rage. Growling, crunching and screaming quickly became his language, and rage was his only message. He ran, he jumped, he stumbled, he fell and he dug,...
A Simple Dinner
The tiger jiggled the locks on his windows. Troy slowly inspected his apartment, idly stepping over a tripwire on his way to the security system. His clawed fingers tick-tacked on the keyboard while he ran a diagnostics check of his security cameras....
Where We Part Ways
I was never a party person. Never really had a thing for them or interest in celebrating things, even when the celebrating was justified like tonight. All around me, soldiers and mercenaries party like crazy and make merriment, even saw a few walk away...
