You and Them
Coffee shop, cafe music playing, showing ads, buses passing, showing ads. Browsing website showing ads. Rampant consumption and consumerism culture that touts the belief that there is something wrong with you and the only way to fix it is to buy our...
stranded
You're stranded on the bed again. You've been awake for an hour or so, but your titanic partner slumbering next to you won't budge. You've tried to press your little hands against their giant body but all it does is remind you of how small you are...

The Thournes
_Thournes_ I doubt I'll be hunting any of my siblings but knowing that I will not always be the Hunter has inspired me to leave these notes behind for my replacement. The Thournes--sometimes referred to as "The Outsider's Children"--are a group of...
03 Bait
"Well, this is embarrassing." You saw the obvious trap lying on the ground, with a few silvers lying as bait. Such a simple trap, by and for simple creatures. A pity you were too busy being smug to notice the other, almost as obvious trap a few steps...

The First Time
"And it's not permanent?" You ask them. "No, of course not. We do have some long-term clients. We are not taking any such positions right now, but everything here is reversible, we assure you" You nod. You've wanted this. Ever since you heard...
Closet Space
Today was your third day as Dr. Faustus's live-in assistant. She'd called you to her office and explained, politely and succinctly, that from now on you'd spend your off hours living and working in her home. You had, of course, immediately agreed to...
