Homage Stories

This series is an homage/parody of the video game franchise Sonic the Hedgehog. As such, it all takes place on an alternate Earth -- better known as Immobi. This wicked wild world is home to a variety of anthropomorphic animals, including two 19-year-olds in particular. There's the good-sported, itchy-footed, and quick-witted Umeme Cheetah. Then there's the cocky, carefree, and foolhardy Radi O. Peregrine. The two are best buds who not only share a brotherly bond, but a need for speed as well. Hence their names (translated in Swahili) these two Immobians wield the power of electrokinesis. Pretty self-explanatory, but they're able to generate high amounts of electricity within their bodies -- allowing them to perform various tricks and techniques. The most prominent being to run -- or in the latter's case, fly -- at around 270,000 mph; Literal lightning speed. With it, our duo races across the vast African continent, if not beyond, in search of thrill and danger. Be it open plains, dense jungles, scorching deserts, or etc. etc. -- these sparking speedsters will certainly be there in a flash. Throughout their adventures, Umeme and Radi will come across various characters -- both friend and foe alike. With their most frequent foes being monstrous entities known as Nightmares. Created from a currently anonymous source, each kind varies from shape and size -- yet shares a common goal to wreak total chaos. While these Nightmares are determined to do so wherever they go, both cheetah and peregrine are determined to stop them in their tracks. So don't blink -- 'cuz if you ever see two streaks speed by, you can bet one hell of a storm's a brewin'.

The lost chapters of the Lil Soniq epic: Sonic's Ultimate Harem, written by a loyal and die-hard fan and writing apprentice.

"All that you have read, all that you have imagined, it can be real. All you need is the key." The old man spread his arms wide, bowing. For some reason Jane could just picture him making that gesture with wide, fluttering sleeves. It would suit him. Jane couldn't help herself. "What key?" "This key," he said, holding up a little gold ring that spun on a fraying ribbon. "A ring?" Jane asked. "Yes, yes, the ring!" he said. "If you put it on at night before you go to bed, while you sleep you will have the most amazing adventures." "So...it's a dream ring?" she said. "Yes and no, no and yes!" he cried. "Take it, take it! Time is short!"

Eden is a world much like our own. Expect for the fact that it was created by a holy goddess by the name of Harmony. Long ago Eden was just a barren wasteland until Harmony descended from heaven. By planting a sacred seed into the wasteland a great tree sprouted. That tree was named Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life. Mana flowed from its roots and birthed the inhabitants of the land. They were humans, elves and beastmen and as such they governed Eden. For centuries these three races all lived in tranquility. That is until one day a dark shadow shrouded Eden in darkness. The humans and elves were not affected by the darkness but the beastmen were. They became savages and bloodthirsty. They started to attack the humans and elves. When all hope seemed lost and the hour of doom was at hand Harmony intervened. She was the one who gave the humans and elves hope. She had done so by leaving behind a sacred sword named Masamune, Heaven's Blade. The sword was stuck fast in the trunk of Yggdrasil and only her chosen hero could pull it out. Years have passed since then and now a young princess has begun having prophetic dreams of the goddess's chosen hero. Only time will tell when they shall arrive to save Eden. And as fate would have it Harmony's chosen hero is but a simple human farm boy living in the country. *All rights reserved **Legend of Diana is my very own original series idea ***Credit goes to the artist who created such a cute little anime princess for the book cover

In which I cast my dear friend Jay Lake as the star in my version of "Joe Vs. the Volcano." Jay passed away from colon cancer on June 1--today (June 6th) would have been his 50th birthday. This story was written in the summer of 2008, after he was first diagnosed, for a private anthology that went only to Jay (and those of us who contributed). May Jay's legacy of kindness live forever in all who knew him.
