"Stories often forgotten or untold are worth sharing for anyone willing to hear a tale..."

This is just a book of short stories from prompts I find online or comes from those moments where you go 'This sounds like a good idea...' but really isn't. Whether it's something about the world's sharpest mind or a question like 'What if?' and 'Then what?'. Something like a man who kills with unlikely weapons or what happens when the story ends and someone forgot to switch off the lights and lock the door after them

In general, this book is just me having fun and a way for me to get ideas out there and practice certain aspects of writing so that I can apply what I learn to my bigger stuff,

Enjoy these 15 short stories of everything from Potion inc. to Divine intervention in the Book of Tales

(P.S: I update this book whenever I'm not busy with work or writing something else. So if uploading seems inconsistent it's because my dumb brain though I could get into a schedule)

The Envoy of Darkness by maxanonymity
38 parts Complete
"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread. By the way, this entire book is available on AMAZON KINDLE. If you like what you read, please consider buying it. Your support would mean a lot.

Eye of the Needle: Into the Reikai by DystopianSmile
22 parts Ongoing Mature
Faith, fear, and fury. The strongest, most inalienable things that make us human. While the people of the world learn and grow, they shed feeling and emotion as time passes. Much like how matter cannot truly be destroyed, the energies of these sentiments never dissipates. Instead, it feeds beings born of all types of things, from ancient cultural followings to widespread societal discourse. In turn, these beings give back to the world--for better or worse. After the traumatic incident of his father's death, young DeMain is thrust into a world of turmoil and a hidden people right under the world's nose. As he harnesses a rare and unique ability gifted to him in exchange for his suffering, his view of the world unravels as he converges with others given the gift of Witchblood, an ability to see and interact with spirits. This book will take on its narrative based on the first-person views of three separate protagonists. I will remind those reading that 'protagonist' does not equate to 'hero' in all cases. A forewarning: This story includes many heavy themes and I felt the need to write them with the reality of how they happen. As such, be cautious. This book contains mentions of sexual assault, murder, violence, substance abuse, and overall conflict. There are also quite a varied amount of scenes with some 'gross' aspects to them. Though I imagine this would only affect those with vivid imaginations, you deserve to be warned regardless. Updates will done be once weekly if not more.
Strange Mutations (one man's trash) by MDStephens
20 parts Complete Mature
This collection of short stories span over a four-year period. I like to think of them as sudden bursts of frantic writings filled with certainty that I was on my way to becoming a literary genius. But after the story was complete and my creative juices had run dry, I would completely forget they existed. Wham! Bam! Thank you, Mam! I used and abused them. I'd only come back around if nothing better was available. I guess you could say I was quite the fiction fucker. When I did come back to revise, I was mortified to find out that - what I thought would make Stephen King jealous of me for once - was nothing but a one night stand with a bad case of beer goggles. Damn, she was ugly... Ugh!!! But don't fear, possible reader, these ladies have been reworked immensely with extreme make-overs, so they're looking pretty decent these days and deserve a chance. I always found myself coming back to fix the little bruises and then forget about them all over again. I didnt have the heart to throw them away. But now I must set them free. They need to get out and see the world. There's no reason to be scared, I tell them, if they don't accept you for who you are, then they're probably not your "type" anyway. So most have mutated into completely different animals from where they began. (See how I got the title? So clever, I am) They are not in any particular order, but "Fly on the wall", "The Healing Tree", "There's no monsters", and "Framed by a phantom" are very close to the first stories I'd ever written. The only other things I should note is, the twin tales "Crow's Peak Chronicles" was intended to be a trilogy; the third part has yet to be written and has a good chance of being released never. My personal favorite is, "Bird's eye view". Don't ask me why. hope you enjoy. - M.D. Stephens

Illogies Un

25 parts Complete

A few seasons ago, I participated in NaNoWriMo with the goal of writing a story a day for the entire month of November. I was able to do this and ended up with well over 50,000 words for the month. This book ended up with around 43K words, but it is missing a few stories. I didn't want to put anything that goes with "Pearls of the Mother" in the "Illogies." Each day I sat down to write, I had a different mood or something else I was thinking about, and I let that guide my writing process. I think a couple of these may end up with follow-on stories or maybe even books of their own. I hope you enjoy these; I know I do.
