Content Warnings: Uh... None for once. Not that I can think of. Bit of porn I suppose, but nothing dark? The city outside lulled to sleep in the starry dark, a brazier smouldering in the room to beat back the cold. The inn-house room was evidently worth the money, with fur blankets and...

Once upon a time, there was a mysterious isle. On this isle, there was a quaint town. It was quite a small town, sporting only a school, a general store, and a cafe. The people of this isle was quite gray and loveless. Every so often, one could find a resident sighing in longing... for love. On...

The night was dark and stormy. Thunder crackled and lightning illuminated the vast reaches of the farmland outside the beautiful castle walls of Highgarden. The village streets were empty, and the market had a shallow stream flowing through its muddy streets. No soul had dared tread out in the...

January 15th, 2023 114 68th Ave, Apartment 14, NYC I was starting to think I had done a bit of a shit job picking an apartment. Sure, the size and cost had been key parts - a two-bedroom apartment with a balcony, in central New York city, and within my price range? Sign me the fuck up - but...

Chapter 1 Iris couldn’t remember how she died. That was troubling to begin with. She was pretty sure she was dead, though. “I mean, I could be dreaming,” her voice rasped. Ugh, her throat was sore for some reason. That didn’t usually happen in dreams, did it? She was standing in a black void...

New thread! Everybody panic! "Hello, Taylor." Emma crooned, from her place in the ring of girls waiting for me on my way out of homeroom. I bit back the sigh trying to burble out of my throat. I wished she'd just give up or get bored already. "I'm surprised you came back after yesterday."...

I lean against the railing at the bow of the ship as it pulls into port. My gaze stuck downwards at the rippling reflection that stares back at me. Green eyes marked with worry and too little sleep, with brown hair that has grown longer than I like. I should get it trimmed down to size soon, but...

When Greg Veder woke up, he felt numb, his muscles ached, and his chest burned, especially in the stomach area. He got up, removing the debris on top of him, wincing from the effort. He tried to remember what had happened to him and why he was waking up in so much pain all over his body, but...

The train is late, and the whole world may as well be ending. Pearl checks her pocket watch again. Two hours, now, since she was scheduled to depart. She runs her tongue over her teeth. Foolish of her to leave her dentistry bag with the railway's stitched, alongside the rest of her luggage...
