Fool's Apocalypse
Like the start of any apocalyptic tale - an asteroid was headed towards Earth - but did it actually reach its mark? That's irrelevant, the world's gone potty anyway. You're either a murdering maneater, human cattle in a meat market with your flesh on the menu, or privileged enough to avoid such terrors and thus are naturally exploiting those less fortunate than yourself. Either way, there's bound to be some fun in here... surely? Also, there might just be a couple of robots in here too - why not, 'ey? Fancy a look to see how I fare in a life like this? Then take a read, why don't you? If you'd rather pass on it, well... sod you! xxxxComplete

Angel of Mercy
I was eight when I first saw a man executed. Nine when I saw the tenth. Ten when I stopped counting. Before each of these men died I dressed their wounds, bought their food, gave them a smile when they expected a frown. I was their hope, the thing that allowed them to cling to life. Then I sent them to their death. It is my job, my duty. I learnt it from my mother and she from hers. I will teach it to mine and she to hers. I am the Angle of Mercy.Complete
A starving man's promise
Show me a man yet unrocked, unscathed, unblemished by hunger. Point him out to me and say: "He's the one. He's never felt hunger in his entire life." And I'll point out the same man as the hungriest man of all. In a race against the bell both Othy and Torolf prepare for their respective tasks at hand. Both are relatively new to their lives as mercs, yet they hunger. But hunger comes in many forms. Where one hungers for food, another may hunger for love, affiliation, or a sense of respect. Hunger, in its most rudimentary sense, is a feeling of loss or lack of something one yearns for or needs. Even if what Othy or Torolf hungers for may differ, their struggles to settle it may coincide. Maybe even more than they would ever give it credit for. And while they're both struggling for appeasement Dioge struggles on his own, miles away from anyone other than members of his own flock.Complete

But they were foolish, they couldn't see the invisible Love that layed inside of them Passionate, Intense, Beautiful, and Perfect. He could have the world but all he wanted was her.Complete
