Otterly Destructive

“I surely hope that’s everything,” I said to myself as I was walking back from the grocery store in my hometown of Galveston, pulling it all from a wagon. I needed to get more food supply for the little guy. He’s been eating practically anything that I feed him. Whether it’s any type of fish, fruit or veggie, the otter wasn’t a picky eater. So after a few days, I finally went out to gather the needed essential food supply for an abandoned otter I found. I got a couple of crab sticks packages, a pound of salmon, catfish, tilapia, all kinds of...

Otterly Cruel

WRITER'S NOTE: There is some animal cruelty in this passage. I strongly disapprove of these actions. If anyone of us sees an animal in need, let's do our part and save the critters from any harm. In the meantime, please proceed with caution. "Okay, Number 47, let's test your capacities," I said as I grabbed the otter from his containment. I wore safety gloves that you wear when handling cats. Can't be too careful. As I grabbed Number 47, he seemed a bit shaken. Must be his containment being freezing cold. I'll have to just the temperature ...

Since You Started...

“Daddy, can I have another smore?” asked my only child: Qadira after devouring her third smore of the night. Even her face was smeared with chocolate. Typical child behavior.My wife: Simone and I chuckled at first but I responded: “I think you had enough, sweetie. Now, come here so we can wipe the chocolate off your face. Pretty please and thank you”Qadira didn’t complain about not having her fourth smore but instead came to me with her face ready to be wiped. Simone handed me one of the baby wipes and I wiped all of the chocolate off my dau...

A Second Chance

"Henry, my dear boy, please wake up," said a familiar voice of a deceased loved one of mine. I didn't know what just happened nor where I am... All I know is that my name is Henry and I was positive I heard my Nana Rina. By whom, passed away a year ago. The next thing I did was open my eyes, and when I have done so, the light of day was so bright that I had to cover my eyes for a second. Once my eyes were adjusted, I tilted my head to see my surroundings. In front of me was my Nana Rina but not in the flesh. More like a spiritual blue hue l...

From Despair to Torment

WRITER'S NOTE: This is a retrospective of Ruth Grealth whose forced to be Gerlard's prisoner during the events of "The Blacksmith's Nephew". This passage is originally find in chapter 42. Please enjoy the read. I was wide awake in my cell sitting there on the edge of the hay bed I was given. Long have I thought about my home and people once again until Orsimin came down to retrieve me about a quarter pass 6. The orc was holding some hand shackles. “That’s odd…” I thought about this to myself. “Normally Orsimin would come around noon or midn...

Otterly Thoughtful

“You ought to be the most fascinating otter, Slick,” I said as he and I were out on an abandoned beach of Galveston. There are plenty of beaches occupied with crowds of people and I didn’t want anyone to get suspicious or intrusive. I wanted to keep this discovery of an unique otter under wraps. I sat on the beach while Slick 47 (the 47 was the number that was etched on him through his poor skin) played in the water. It looks as through he hasn’t done it in a long time. Poor little fella… When I found him, it looked extremely weak, however s...

Siren(t) Night

WRITER'S NOTE: This is a revised version of Chapter 45 to The Blacksmith's Nephew. It would have been also a retrospective but considering the amount of characters, this short story is told by the narrator instead. Please enjoy. Terrance found himself really tired that night. For he had passed out onto the helm after sailing for a good hour. It then began to fog again and everyone was sound fast asleep this time around. Everyone on the Sunlight Howler began dreaming once they had all slept from where they were. All of a sudden, the men on t...

Mt. Nemallca: Day 1

WRITER'S NOTE: I will like to dedicated this short story to my adopted-by-heart sister: Liz. By whom, is the mother of my Godchild: Ana. I hope you enjoy this piece, Sis Sis. And yes, I did have a couple of mocha in the time of writing. I had to get some inspiration from somewhere. Please enjoy. "You ready, Michelle?" asked my best friend I knew since I was little. Felix was always the outgoing and over-achiever type. I always admired that about him. He keeps me on my toes and makes me confident in what I do in any given situation. "Yes, I a...

R-U Ready 2 Recognize!?

"Oh, hey there, Kevtin," said Reggie in response to our former bully. As Reggie took the sacrificial greeting towards Kevtin. Tomas, Ursa, and I all rolled our eyes.If there was any indication how much we loathe this dude who was approaching us at this minute, it would speak volumes. Reggie too wasn't a big fan of the guy himself however, since Kevtin has mass respect for our dear friend. Especially after giving Kevtin the big win in the high school football finals, the dude has been much more approachable to say the least. Until he speaks f...

Agent AKA: Candy Girl

"Faye, Faye, let's go check this out," Lulu said excitedly as she points to a karaoke bar. We got got done eating burgers and were now figuring out what to do afterwards. I swear when I first saw her in that cocktail dress, I felt like I was knocked out."I don't know Lulu. It's seems a bit crowded to me," I said nervously. It wasn't too crowded. In fact, there was only a handful of people there while some guy singing "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder. Amazing song by the way, but I'm not one to go up stage and sing my heart out. I believe Lulu kn...

Drinks to Go Around

"You two care for a drink? First drinks on me," asked and offered the bartender of a soul patch. From what I'm gathering, he was co-owner of this rundown tiki bar of this shady water park in the Dells. Can't believe my first time at Wisconsin Dells has to be here, out of all places. Could have gone to Mt. Olympus or even the Great Wolf Lodge but Frank insists we check out the lesser known establishment before going too big for my britches, as he would call it."Sure thing! We both can use a refresher!" called back Frank, speaking for the both...

The Pineapple Slide

"I'm sorry Bryan, but what are we going to do with all of this pineapple juice?" asked my brother, after receiving one year supply of the product just the other day. It was located near our beat down tiki bar. It's been quite a fixer upper since we purchased this waterpark awhile back."Beats me, Ryan, I'm still figuring that one out myself after getting it," I said while wiping the bar counter with a clean rag and antibacterial spray."Yeah, well, we gonna come up with something cause we aren't getting a lot of customers as it is. Or else, al...

R-U Ready 2 Reunite!?

"Can't believe it's been 10 years since we last saw everyone here in one place," I said to Reggie as he and I move pass several of our old high school classmates who were currently drinking their hearts out."I know right!" Reggie replied, a bit eager to get this over with. "Can't say I miss every single one of them but at least, there's a few I do.""Yeah," I agreed. "Let's go find our old crew before we lost ourselves in this frat part of the party."Reggie and I searched around the house, looking for two certain individuals: Tomas and Ursa. ...

Some major spoilers ahead so proceed with caution. This chapter also happens to be one of Sean's favorite chapters in the novel as well. So, with all of that in mind, please enjoy the reading. I smiled as I looked upon the army of my enemies through the solar eclipse and darkened sky. Feeling cocky, I walked ahead about a few feet from my student, Pepvin, and the assembled dark ...
