Ethan's Pecs
Ethan had a mean pair of pecs. His pecs were so ferocious that the president of the military academy drafted him to fight the war of the boars. Do bear in mind that the army was a practical muscle factory; more so than the gym. When you factor in the...
Battle of the Bear
The TV had been Dad's sleeping pill ever since we could remember. One night, it lost its prisoner to a swamp of a growl. Normally he would tell the blabberer to put a dirty old sock in it, or throw a beer mug. But since this noise was coming from...
Two Toriel inflation ideas
So, I had two ideas for Toriel inflation. So, the first one is a parody of Undertale, where in Toriel starts out with a regular build and gets no respect from the dungeon monsters while Frisk makes his way through with ease, largely due to Toriel...

Our Human Masks, Chapter 2
**Chapter 2: Blooming Backwards** _“And what made me think we'd last forever? Was I so naïve? Of course it all unweaves."_ ~XTC, “The Wheel and the Maypole" I recently listened to a podcast on asexuality; the interviewees said that, in spite of...
Emulation Practice: Macro Cricket
And the sun burned deep amber patches around his face, and patches of beard hair singed from the heat. All along the trail he shambled, wild animals listened to his vengeful plans, and Argo acted out his stab-desires onto cacti, and he crushed...
Funhouse Madness Exercise
The carnival funhouse had been designed in good humor, but all it delivered was creepitude. Never mind the clown gallery or distorting mirrors. All anyone could think about was the elusive actress playing Daphne Blake. When she wasn't snooping around...
Bowser Day, Whenever it Comes
