Kylie late to the party

This is another short story I failed to write. I wrote this on the same day that I wrote Vyre the Barista. Kylie giggles uncontrollably, making faces at her reflection in the holographic display of a mirror, the only source of light in the flooded alleyway, filthy dark water splashing

Vyre the Barrista

I wrote a short story... or rather, I tried to write a short story but failed. It didn't work out. But here is the paragraph I managed to get out. The cavern shakes and inside, Vyre clenches his fingers against the coffee counter. He stares at the warpgate in the

Dream: Warning! You've been kidnapped!

You wake up in a house you don’t recognize. You look up and down these stairs that wind Into an never ending spiral pattern: Numberless steps, infinite passage. – Down the hall, doors on each side. Windows display a neighborhood outside. You’re not familiar with these strange sights, But

Dream: Dark Star

Satyrs used to roam the land, eating the metal that grows on the trees. They were much like goats in the respect of eating whatever they could find. They would sometimes even eat the metal of manufactured objects such as cars. For these reasons, satyrs were hunted to extinction perhaps
