Mary's Flower Garden My neighbor and childhood friend Mary Raffles lives in a home completely enveloped in a sea of flowers. Ever since I moved back to my hometown of Alemonowa as her neighbor a few years ago, I've been an eyewitness to the development of her garden from a small patch of...

The sun beat down on her neck relentlessly. Sweat beaded on her dirty brow as she scrabbled in the dirt, perched on her ankles like some kind of blue-haired frog wallowing in the spring mud, yet even the prickling droplets that the wet breeze entirely failed to dispel could not, in turn, erode...

"Terrific!" Invigilator Thomas cackled, methodically snapping Novice Wallaby's neck with a gusto he rarely affected, save for when he snapped necks. Every other Novice working nearby flinched and buried their heads in their work, hoping to whatever deity would listen that they wouldn't be next...

"Lord Ryze, I have my own family to take care of. My brother's debts start and end with himself. My wife and I have nothing to do with his actions. Please be magnanimous, my lord." John politely requested. The strapping farmer's head was bowed with his forehead touching the dirt. In front...

The Collective Council laughed at what the human ambassador had just asked. After a ciuple of minutes of unending laughter, one of them finally addressed the human ambassador. Said ambassador did notice that a couple of the delegates didn't laugh though; some of the oldest races in the...

The Dragon Roars: A KMT Quest "Decades of futile effort have not dampened my bold aspirations to save the nation. Instead, my heart grieves at the suffering of the Chinese people." - Dr. Sun Yat-Sen The old man watched with bleary eyes as the men, no, his men marched across the barren desert...

Life as a 102nd Century Warlord It is the year 10100, and while everything is changing, nothing important is happening. Humanity is divided by ideology and chaos, the world too confusing and dangerous for answers. Yet the world is not completely bleak, for the residents have yet to give up...

It happened in another world, but it might as well have happened in ours. It was inhabited by creatures so similar to us that we might as well call them "humans." This world was divided into many different kingdoms, cities and tribes. As is usually the case, they went to war with each other from...

Fallout has fleshed out a few areas of the post-apocalyptic United States, but there remain vast tracts of land unvisited. This quest is going to design an area which will then be used by a followup quest. With so much blank space on the map, it would take forever to vote on it all, so I’ve...

Day 1 I have received permission and a small grant for my troll study. I was told that trolls were dangerous, and not to seek them out, but there is a significant gap in our academic canon where they are concerned. I must be careful but persistent. Trolls are rare creatures, so if I don't...

You look up at the wrought iron gates, a stone archway stretches over them engraved with the the words ‘World’s End Academy. The gates themselves are strangely normal for such an institution. Yet for how simple they are they still stand between you and the rest of your life. But sight is not...

Golden light unseen by mortal eyes, dancing in the air, a trio of young souls saw the strange scene, the wisps of energy floating above the streets of the little town of Winterdale, they mostly ignored it, each unaware of their companions shared knowledge of the scene, simply writing it off as a...

Adrian furiously slammed the clutch of her car forward and downshifted, hatred in her heart churned her guts. She yanked her foot from the pedal and the twin turbos screamed as the engine revved up. The tires squealed as she hurled the vehicle around the tight Nocturin City corner, the sidewalks...

"It's too late..." The Unknown Area. A place that she stumbled upon within the Center of Creation. It was a featureless area. There was nothing in it at all, though at the same time it was filled with everything. Stars and galaxies flitted through what could be considered as the ground that she...

It had been over a decade since the first ever successful dinosaur park was opened. The magic of it sweapt up the public and as with all successful business ventures, copycats sprang up. The world saw a deluge of wannabes competing with eachother for attention. Some had had marketed...

From the cold depths of space, beyond the armor-plated cockpit windows of the ship, a jolt and a crack rustled Gabriel awake. Only a few minutes on site and he'd passed out on shift. Panic washed over him as he grabbed the flight stick between his legs at the sight of an asteroid directly in...

The multiverse is vast and infinite, containing both wonders and horrors beyond comprehension. Every moment, dimensions are created and destroyed; a whirling chaotic infinity. But what happens to the inhabitants of those destroyed worlds? Well, they end up here, in Outland. Outland is one of...

The Reliquary Stirs You are the Reliquary, a machine of unknowable purpose, ancient construction, and you have been awakened once more. You know not what has happened for you have no eyes, you know not what remains, for your hardline connections are all damaged or missing, you know not if...

Some truths of the multiverse remained constant: Space is vast. Fate is unpredictable. Capitalism is ruthless. Jessica battles. Malinda mends. Malinda's crowning achievement was the Tit for Tat. A ship that seemed to defy not just the laws of physics, but also the principles of aesthetics. At...

Schools are creepy. It is just a fact of life to be perfectly honest. And yes, I can just see the thoughts that some of you, or most of you are having. Thoughts like: "Those words make sense individually… but not strung out like that." "Schools aren't creepy. How could they be creepy, what...

In a dim, not-too-messy apartment lived a young man who was a recluse, almost always preferring to stay indoors unless he needed to go grocery shopping or order food from a restaurant app. He despised the outside world because he was an introvert. In truth, he had Asperger's and social anxiety...

I stared up at the night sky and sighed. There wasn't another soul in miles, and for a heartbroken man like myself, it was perfect. However, I needed to consider beginning my hike back to civilisation, if not by tomorrow, then at least by the next day if I wanted to keep it leisurely. I didn't...

It has been many long centuries since mankind has left Terra and colonized the stars. They achieved wonders, invented faster-than-light travel and, of course, created the next generation of weapons: humanoid war-machines armed with everything from miniguns to beam rifles to heat axes to beam...
