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...
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...
Soft
They told you to lie down. You know this will be more than just a massage. Your friend did promise you that it would be the most relaxing thing you ever experienced. You trust your friend. You haven't been led wrong with their tips....
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...
02 Mindless
You have a mind. A brilliant, creative mind. A gift of god or evolution or the freakish improbability of the cosmos. A mind that can conceive of things great and small. A mind that is aware of itself and its surroundings. Put it to use. Do things....
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...
Hypnovember 30 - Awaken
Your sleep is as dreamless as it is restful. Your eyelids are slammed shut, unaware of anything outside of them--unaware you have eyelids at all. Your mind does not race. It is still like the night. No matter the obligations you had before or the...
The Hunter's Notes
Your light flickers slightly as you step into the abandoned shack. _This_ is where the map leads you? A dilapidated shack, in the middle of nowhere, on a little-known backwater planet? There had to be a mistake, but you were already here so no point in...
Therapy
_This story was written entirely spontaneously, after spending about an hour alone, essentially role-playing the dialogue in my head before writing it. If it seems rather rough or unwieldy, it's because I spent very little time editing it - I didn't...
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...
A moment of rest
It's a warm summer night as you find yourself deep in an ancient forest, surrounded by a mix of giant redwood trees and shorter evergreens. You take the time to look at the ground under you, a soft cover of moss with a few pine cones scattered here and...
Jackal; A Twitfic
They were just passing by, as you carried some groceries back home. It had been an ordinary day, up until the moment you saw them. A living pooltoy made in the image of a massive anubian jackal. The huge, feral synthetic strutting along as if nothing...
