This is a little story I came up with after reading a post on Chuck Wendig's blog.
http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2016/01/15/flash-fiction-challenge-choose-your-title-and-write/
This post presented a fun little challenge that I was given to finish in one week.
So bear with me as I will attempt to pour out two thousand+ words about my chosen title, all the while juggling two school assignments, studying, my perfectionism and the constant feeling of having to pull my crap together and start doing things I want/need to do.
Procrastination-fueled self-loathing aside:
The River's Mask - by Rick Driesen
Mira Essens is quite unfortunate. sure, she's given a small myriad of possibilities. But her habit of not paying attention to the mud she steps in can get quite... hazardous. Unseen mud is extra slippery.
After a long journey, she's almost at her final destination.
Just one obstacle remains.
It's not like she expected much.
But this still felt like a great oppertunity to take a big leap.
after all, she can't always land feet-first into life's filthy puddles, can she?

"Goodbye Curly Head"
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)Terminé
Masks
This is the second book to Barriers {damirae} so if u haven't read that one some stuff in this one won't make sense so I sagest u read that one first. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I wear a mask. Not to hide but to protect, protect people from getting hurt. It consoles and hides away all the emotions I keep at bay. I wear a mask. It is stained black and seeping through all the emotions I hide from you. Distorted and can't make out All these shadows that lurk about. But though the eyes you can see a hint at thy you can perceive. Nothing left... I'm inside out. And now i see that the mask itself... was meant for me. Sometimes you wear a mask for to long that you forget who you used to be beneath it all. In all this confusion one thing holds true, my feeling for you. So when I say I love you. I don't expect to hear it in return. I just want you to know I Love you not for how you danced with my angels. But for the way you calmed my Demons." ~ RobinTerminé

Including: THE DAY THE HUMA BIRD TOUCHED HER SHADOW: The Huma bird is an ancient mythological creature from Persia.

O Negative
Content Warning-This story is meant for mature audiences. It features adult language, references, situations, sexual content, graphic violence, and gore. Fantasy, horror, and science fiction are my favorite genres to read. They are also my favorite to write. I've enjoyed writing since I won my first writing contest in the fourth grade. That was over twenty-five years ago and I haven't shared a sinlge word of it. Imposter syndrome is a bitch! Well, I finally managed to pull the trigger. Here is "O Negative". It's a mix of all of my favorite genres. I've mixed a fantasy, based on present-day Earth, with plenty of graphic horror and wrapped it all up within a world driven by the technological advancements that only can be obtained from millions of years of civilation. A small group of strangers find themselves surviving in a decimated world. It's bad enough to be stranded in a no-name town, but things become surreal when you realize the vast majority of humanity has died...it becomes terrifying when you realize you aren't that lucky to be alive. "Survivor's Guilt" isn't a thing when you find yourself the sole food source for an entire group of beings that no longer need to hide in the shadows. Man is no longer at the top of the food chain...they are now the cattle.
30 Days, 30 Stories: A Writing Challenge
This is a 30 day writing challenge, a collection of short stories. I've always been a world class procrastinator. The goal of this challenge is to get me writing regularly and, hopefully, break me of the perfectionist thinking that often paralyses me. The Rules: 1. Write and publish 1 short story (flash fic, vignette) per day for 30 days. 2. Stories must be at least 100 words. 3. They can be of any genre or subject matter. Like a lot of writers I have notebooks lying around full of random story ideas. Most of my older ideas are for novels and screenplays. Been going thru my old ideas and picking out the ones I think lend themselves to the short story format. I'm also working on coming up with NEW ideas that I can use here. Never been good at using prompts, but this is a good opportunity to experiment with those. All the stories here are original works written specifically for this challenge. They were written on the day they were published unless otherwise stated. Any similarities to other writers' work is purely coincidental. Thanks & enjoy! ~Laura, 20 Feb, 2018Terminé
ARISA~ His Buried Love
#1-HIS SINS (ARSH MEHROTRA X ARISA VERMA) "Arisa, you are such a bitch. But don't worry I will answer your question. What I want from you is this" he said and in the next second, he held my nape with full force and slammed his lips on mine. I almost jumped back in surprise and my eyeballs would bulge out from my eyes, I was not expecting this. I was ready for a slap but not this. What is happening? I slapped his chest but he did not stop, his hold over my nape tightened as he devoured me whole. His lips moved ferociously and I could feel myself powerless. How can I not reject him? I need to fucking step away. He held my hair and pulled them back in a swift motion, my head was lifted up and he kissed me again, this time involving his tongue. I was struggling here but he was enjoying it. I know, this is what he enjoys the most, making me a worthless person, making me a fragile woman and making me feel unwanted and ugly. Story about two rivals who reunite after two years and are trapped in a steamy office romance sequel. Are they just sexually attracted or does their desire take over their hearts? Arisa Verma, an intelligent genius who secures a good post in the famous company is met with her biggest rival to date, Arsh Mehrotra who happens to be her project leader. ~HER ONLY BEAUTY IS HER F-UCKING BRAIN ~HE ALWAYS WINS, EVERY TIME Tropes -Academic Rivals -Romantic Rivals -Enemies turned Lovers -Office Romance -Grumpy ML -Sassy FL -untouched leads -Forced Proximity -dark romance Story is for 18+
