The Demon's Deal
When a personal grudge threatens to endanger the lives of not only himself but of all the people he holds dear, Seamus the half-orc is forced to enlist the help of his friends in order to deal with the threat. Yet not all is as it seems, and the journey eventually forces him to make an impossible choice. For exactly how wise is it to put your trust in a demon's word? ---------------------------------------------- NOTE from the writer: This is the short story I wrote based on a D&D arc in the game I run as a dungeon master. I plan to release a chapter every week, sort of episodic! It is also the spark that eventually led me to publish my first novel: The Lady's Gift - Part One of the Chosen Saga. I posted this as an example of my writing style, so if you like this, be sure to check out the novel through my profile and blog link! Hope you enjoy, and any criticism or comments are very, very welcome.Complete
Life Incomplete
Groban - his friends all call him Groot - had everything to make his life complete: an awesome dad, and great friends. That all changed when his closest friends were killed in a car accident on the cross-country trip they'd started and he was supposed to meet up with them to complete. Now, their four lives fit onto one funeral program, and Groban and the rest of his friends' loved ones are left behind to pick up the pieces. Content Warning: tragic loss, funeral and burial scenes, survivor's guilt, grief, mention of queer rejection by parentsComplete
The Greylands: Modern Edition
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.Complete
