Writers have to get their characters from somewhere. Sometimes it's just not as simple as making them up.

I never missed a sunset, the fiery reds and burnt oranges, eating up the sky, it reminded me of what the end of the world might look like, I think that is probably why I never missed one. This was different though, this was beautiful; yellow light dancing, like fireflies around a lantern. Everything was the same, right here, in the very same chair on the very same porch, only this time I wasn't sad, this time I could imagine next week, next month, next year. This time I could imagine tomorrow; the first tomorrow I had imagined in a long line of burning sunsets. I wondered if Georgia being here had something to do with that. Probably, the only sunsets I'd noticed this evening were the ones between her eyelids. "What are you looking at?" asked Georgia, with a puzzled look on her face. "Just Georgia," I replied.

Meet Joe Nobody . . . and pray he never meets you. He's average height, with an average build, and average looks - an instantly forgettable face in the crowd. Joe also happens to be a hit man, quite possibly one of the best in the world. He's so good, in fact, that most of his work life has settled into a comfortable routine, where everything goes according to plan, and nothing at all is surprising anymore. He's been just about everywhere, and he's seen it all. But Joe hasn't seen everything. Not yet . . . **WARNING** - This work contains several curse words and some extremely violent themes and situations throughout. I mean, the main character is a hit man . . . there's your first sign. You've been warned. **ADDITIONAL WARNING** - This is soooooooo first-draft-ish, so any problems you see logistically, thematically, or grammatically are all the fault of a combination of absinthe and overzealous fingers. And please, for god's sake, if you see something glaringly wrong, tell me about it! :)

This is a collection of original fairy tales, like the ones we all heard when we were children. Because fairy tales never lose their magic, no matter how old you are.

I was teetering on the edge of insanity without the least desire to turn back. Maybe that meant I’d already crossed the line and was too far gone to see it, but honestly I didn’t care, because no sane person could make a decision like that. No sane person could condemn a soul, let alone thousands. “Make your move, Sage. Pick a side and stick to it, but just remember the consequences. And just remember what it is you’re fighting for, because in the end, once all is said and done it’s the results that people care about. The rest never truly matters unless you make it.”
