Rot 1.1: January 18th, 2011 Humid, muggy, it felt as if he were stepping into a swamp far south, rather than a school in New England, in January no less. Of course, right at this moment, Winslow High certainly didn’t feel like a school. Red sludge coated the floors, and even some walls, as...

Before we begin the story, I'd like to say something and apologize. This work began as, and still is, a creative writing project and was my first foray into releasing my work for others to read. When I began, I only really had a vague idea of what I wanted to do and how to get there. I wanted...

Horizon — O — 2008 January, Boston. The click of the lock quietly signaled her presence back in the pleasant warmth of the house, not that anyone was close enough to actually listen. Or cared, for that matter. Sore feet slid out of slightly worn footwear and into a pair of sinfully fluffy...

Everything is worse without Rollo. Her chest hurts, her eyes blink back tears, her hands are sore from clenching. She misses him. He didn't listen to her most of the time, he was scared, angry. She gave him most of her food. His fur had patches missing, some of it was dirty. His tail would wag...

As a member of the Fire Nation, you had always been rather unusual with respect to your love of the cold. The average temperature in most regions of the Nation was 26 Celsius, hotter than even most of the Earth Kingdom, so it stood to reason that most of the Nation’s citizens would grow a thick...

I began life in a world of white and cold that bit down to my core. Bit? Cold? I pondered for a moment and realized how I knew these things. Another me, but not myself, had died, and in their death throws they had wished that I would be reborn in a place that would be safe. Such things filled me...

Date a Live: Another Life He'd never forget that day. It was Monday, April 4, 2050. It had been the first day in a new year of University, to slave away for a degree to (maybe?) get a hold of one of the increasingly scarce human jobs left. After the introductory period for one of his classes...

A/N: In which my brain decides "no, you're going to write superheroes now, not your other Quests" It is still debated when the Metahuman Era started. Was it 1952, when the CIA and KGB both began employing metahuman agents? 1956, when the Suez Crisis precipitated the first all-out superhuman...

Taylor Hebert I had promised myself that this was going to be a short and comfortable run before heading back home and trying to get some studying done, and at the start I really was following that promise to the letter. I did about half my normal route, having tossed on a hoodie to deal with...

“Corner of Welldocks and Falcon, she said?” “Y-Yes sir! Near the docks,” Agent Melody chirped nervously in his ear. “She said she got Lung and the Undersiders contained just behind the warehouse there.” Colin struggled to stifle a sigh. “Acknowledged, Control,” he said instead, signing off the...

THE TJAO CHRONICLES: CHAPTER ONE Bitter Introductions Hate. That was all Tim felt for the men before him. The soldiers fired at him fruitlessly, his incantation turned their bullets to water and a single wave of his hand caused spikes of ice to erupt from the floor and tear through their...

I’ve written a chapter! Yay!

People Lie redux, rewritten Everyone in the class turned to look as the door slid open. Even Shikamaru, who had gotten pretty good at impromptu naps over the past several years, hadn’t had time to fade out for his morning ‘me time’. Naruto Uzumaki walked in, almost an hour late. “Naruto...

I thought I was a Cape. I am actually an alien called a Lombax. What. I stared at my mother, my mother who changed to look a lot like my new form, only older and... well of the two of us I know who will get to turn heads more. Of course before the explanations there was some confusing...
