bad decisions

The wind is blowing. I can hear it's gentle breath. It tickles my ears and it ruffles my hair. It reminds me that I still live, in this little garden of sin. The wind is blowing. It whistles and it howls. It speaks of carnage and chaos. It is a gentle calm before a storm. A catastrophe that...

The thing about heroes, was that they were flawed. There was no such thing as a perfect hero. Not even Superman. That ship had sailed before I was born. This fact was difficult to grasp and even more difficult to accept. I don't think I can yet accept it. The subway of Gotham was, relatively...

Once upon a time, the falling leaves of gold whispered a story. A great tale of the Elden Ring, shattered forevermore. Rent and twain lay our home, the Lands Between hidden within the Fog. Alas, our great Queen Marika the Eternal is nowhere to be found. Lo, Godwyn the Golden, fallen...

Etaja flees, as quickly and subtly as he can, the endless blue patterns of the Way shifting around him as he goes. He doesn't know what's on his tail, precisely: he knows it's an Abidan, because the pursuer attacked him immediately. He knows it's not one of the Abidan Judges, because he didn't...

This is how it begins: Kiana is first. She's a free spirit, a drifter in the wind, the one who loves and the one who has learned how to be lonely. When she tells Tesla that she needs a walk, needs some fresh air, just wants to get out and clear her head and "did you know the shop on 8th Avenue...

Hub City, State of Canton, 1979: Relief mixed with general exhaustion as Carter finally made his way through the airport. A ten hour flight on the soonest plane away from London had hardly been ideal. He stifled a yawn as he went through the terminal, suitcase very light in hand. It was all he...

So, this isn't either Penance Crusade or Callsign: Owl. Sorry, not sorry. But in my defense, I stumbled across a certain picture of a certain character a while back, and realized that, in that particular picture, that character actually looks an awful lot like one Taylor Hebert. So, this...
