The following stories you are about to read are part of a piece of creative work I did for a creative writing course at Liverpool University.

In this moment, the seeds of a cold, intellectual dominion are sown.

Thomas D'Cozzi is not a thief, though he'd rob you blind given half the chance. Not a revolutionary, but he'd quite happily throw wrenches into the gears of society and see the underdogs succeed. He's not a diplomat, or a businessman, or a philosopher even if many such people would call him friend and rival both. What Thomas is then is a professional opportunist. One who seeks out the gaps in society, both high and low, and then exploits them to their fullest. He's spent the last decade plus romping through post Great War Europe and beyond, with few attachments and no real direction to speak of. But when adventure lands him amid the gathering storm of the Spanish Civil War in the homeland of the Basques, Thomas will find himself caught between the ghosts of a people who remain, solid and stoic as the hills in which they've made their homes for millennia, and the horrors of war which have come to try and dislodge them. She Talks to Angels is a story of the powerful and the powerless. Of the nature of choice and destiny, and what it is to live among the ashes of history. Thomas D'Cozzi has built his life upon an uncompromising freedom, but can he survive in a land of ancient gods, expected monsters, and above all, certainty?

The Beltzoak, beings so advanced they wield quantum paradoxes as weapons, encounter an object that shouldn't be a threat.

What follows is not a battle, but a lesson: they were never the predators. They were the prey.

THE ONLY THINGS I OWN ARE THE STORY LINE, HOW THEY GET TO THE ANIME WORLD, AND CARMEN. KADI, ALICE, AND ELSBETH WERE CREATED BY MY FRIENDS, THOUGH I DO HAVE PERMISSION TO USE THEM IN MY STORY.)
