With the prompts of 'payment in flesh' from Xpholia and 'keeping watch' from Sam C, we have a new entry into the world of Scars this week, giving us a look at the wider world of the setting. In this, we touch on what happened outside the three countries that bore the brunt of the… Continue reading Patreon Update: City of Dreams, and Weekly Drabble Prompt Thread
Happenings are afoot.
This deliberately vague statement brought to you by the Letters A, C, E and P. Hopefully I'll have something less vague to share in next little while, but until then... Happenings are afoot.
To the Victor, the Spoils: Chapter 5
Chapter 5: Another dream. Venezuela this time. The naked young woman in Alexandra’s arms was whimpering and sobbing. She was clutching at her stomach, blood seeping through her fingers. “Medic!” Savoy shouted as she stormed into camp. A corpsman was the first to respond and pointed to an empty cot. “What happened?” he asked. “I… Continue reading To the Victor, the Spoils: Chapter 5
Patreon Update: Palm of Shadows and Prompt Thread
With the themes of 'anathema', 'we all walk in her immortal shadow' and 'an odd shadow' from my patrons Framing Device, LystAiP and William M, we return to Chicago and all the fun happening there. As well, the weekly prompt thread is up for my patrons, so get your votes in while you can!
Children of Heaven, Chapter 16
Admiral Alicia Hunt stood on the command deck of UTCNS Warlord, a Kali-class dreadnaught. Imperator was of the same class, but Invictus was an Ares. Thunderer and Conqueror were Camulus-class; missile variants, outfitted with fortress tubes and the warheads that went with them. “Status of April Fools?” “All ECM systems read green, admiral. We know what to look for and even our sensors are having trouble sorting them out; the Lefu should be in for a bit of surprise when they open fire.” “Let’s hope so. Status of their advance?” “They’re ignoring the outer-system colonies, coming right for us.” “Their scouts must have reported in, then. I doubt they would have done so otherwise.” The Lefu targeted military ships and facilities first, then took out any spaceborne civilian vessels or installations. If they didn’t know that Hyperion Hive’s outer-system sites were harmless, they’d have started culling them. As it was, they were planning on dealing with BG 97 first.
Scars, Chapter 8
We're returning once more to the world of Scars, wherein our adventurers four, ostensibly trying to get a bit of shut-eye before continuing their task of searching out the cause of disappearances seem to have stumbled upon that cause. Or rather, it's found them, and gotten egress to the house in which 3 of the… Continue reading Scars, Chapter 8
Heartless, Chapter 6
“How dare you cry. How dare you grieve. You have watched but a handful of mortal lives end this day. I have walked the centuries and seen thousands fall. How dare you compare your transitory, fleeting life to mine and all the horrors that I have seen.” - Coldblood general Songbird to her captives after the siege of Temple Thresh
Patreon Update: ‘Commandment’ and Weekly Drabble Prompt.
This week's drabble theme is 'thou shalt not' from Robert Gatlin-Martin, in which we return to Shadow over Illinois and get to see more of Melinoe's influence, this time from the perspective of those who are worshiping her. Along with that, there's a new drabble prompt thread up for patrons.
Patreon Update: Breaking the Circle and Weekly Drabble Prompt Thread
With the themes of 'waiting for the end' from DylingLight and 'almost doomsday' from William M., we have a new short story up on my Patreon. Likewise, the weekly drabble prompt thread for patrons is up as well.
The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 13
And we're back to our ongoing saga. In this chapter, Red One and the Triquetrans finally get to have a tete a tete, wherein we learn a little more of their history and what they need from from Red One. For her part, the AI is very excited (though she hides it well) and tempers… Continue reading The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 13
