Reuben's Transformation

WRITER'S NOTE: This is a retrospective of Reuben Grealth just before he came into the Great Mage War. This short story will also be added to one of my future books; one of them being a prequel to "The Blacksmith's Nephew" called: "A Tale Between Knights & Mages". One minor spoiler in this passage so proceed with caution. Please enjoy the reading. 'Of course Gerlard Strent would do something like this' I said this to myself as my trusty steed, Wilblur, and I rode towards the Open Fields where the Great Mage War was. We have been traveling...

Robemate's Secret Society

I was so dumbfounded from where I stood that I didn't want to say or do next. Olivia from Ethics, my first friend I made in college, is standing right in front of me all dressed in a strange robe. And she wasn't alone. There had to be nearly a dozen other accomplices judging from what I saw in that dim lighted room. I could feel many pairs of eyes looking into me, seeing my inner thoughts right there, including my friend Olivia. By whom, was as dumbfounded as much as me. It is not often your secret group of a cult gets an unexpected visitor ...

Musically Inclined

While my high school graduation ceremony was going underway, I waited patiently to be called. To be honest, I was quite nervous getting a speech in the first place. They could have ask anyone but my high school class chose me instead. No pressure, I guess. My nerves have been all over the place when I received the news a couple of weeks ago. However, thanks to all the supportive system from helpful family and friends, along with Tracy's convincing, I was able and willing to accept it. One of my dear (English) teachers, Mrs. Blake, was fini...

Hangry for some BLT

The mysterious motorcyclist stood there as literally everyone was looking at him, including our main female lead (FELICIA). He walks to the diner, passing everyone's gaze, either from hate or curiosity. The motorcyclist places his bike helmet on the empty stool on his right, as he sits down, wanting to order something. The waitress (CANDACE), who served Felicia a moment ago, approaches the mysterious figure dubbed THE BIKER. CANDACE: Can I get you something- (She stops mid-sentence, noticing that he's a different race than her and her people...

After being told the unfortunate news, the Traveler takes a moment to write a letter to his deceased loved one. (Dubbedly known as his Firefly of Guidance.)

I know that this letter won't get to my original l...

Steamed Images

"What time is it?" I ask myself this out loud. My entire dwarven body felt like it was in a pile of rubble but instead, it was just me being sleep fatigue inside a tent. I was lying on my bedroll and noticed the familiar things around me. Next to me was nothing too special. Just my drawer I put all of my clothes in. It was a simple four tile drawer that isn't too tall nor too short for my stature. On top of it, was an unlit candle within a holder and curled handle. Across my tent area were souvenirs from across the world with my be...

A Diner Full of Flugelhorns

"Is this really necessary, my love?" asked my pampered mother as we parked the car up in front of a diner. She continued her thought process out loud by saying: "I could go for some steak in the city. instead of eating here." She even said it with some distaste.I politely replied to her: "Yes mother, cause the city is in the next 50 miles from here. Plus, I'm starving.""Please, darling. I can wait until the next city and also: you need to watch your figure. You are looking a bit chubby as of lately."Here we go with the underlying insults by ...

My First Case with some Lampshade

"Okay, Officer Rhodney, let's get inside," I said as my partner and I headed into the apartment in Brooklyn together as an unit. This is my first ever case as a fully fledged detective. I have spent years and years getting where I am today, and this was it!  Finally, after many hardships, shortcomings, and upbringings, this apartment was all leading to this. When we first got the call, it was an anonymous tip from the caller. They just told our department that the apartment smelled like someone died there. Officer Rhodney and I took tha...

The Ending to Jeremy's First Adventure

"Care to explain yourself, Sir?" asked Balloon as she intensely looks at me as if I was the one who stole her Master's cane.I shook my head before replying back: "Sorry, I tend to daydream out of nowhere. The name is Jeremy and I just found this cane about a few yards that way." I even pointed of the direction I came from.Balloon wasn't easily convinced that she even crossed her arms. All while still looking at me as if I did something wrong. I'm not much of a outgoing person so my social skills were far limited. All I could really do is giv...

The Beginning to Jeremy's First Adventure!

"Where am I?" I asked myself out loud. Somehow I have been whisked away to a faraway land cause there was no known forests close to my home. At least not at my knowledge cause I hardly get out much. Thanks to my overprotective dad. Bless his heart but sometimes I do want to go outside to see what the world has to offer. Much better than getting couped up in a house while being told what I can or cannot do.So, there I was standing at an unknown place and my heart could have leapt out from me. Especially since it was pouting very fast of adren...

Otterly Strange

It was a quiet night here at Galveston, Texas as I walked home from work. I've been stationed at the Aquarium At Moody Gardens for a good while now (3 months to be exact), and I don't mind it. Especially since it's not far from home with my dear cousin Erica. Keeps my job as marine biologist interesting. I'm only going from here to Houston or whenever they need someone like me to for the job. Either me giving the sea life their shots, getting test examples or making lab results, anything really. It all pays the same. I've been a marine biol...

The Explosion Left Me with No Hands

“The room is unfamiliar. I don’t know how I got here," I said this all to myself as I woke up in an extremely bright light. My memory is a little hazy but all I can think of was an explosion of some kind. "Oh, that's right," I finally recalled while thinking to myself. "My family's hoover car exploded in front of me."I lifted my head up and sure enough, both of my hands were heavily wrapped in bandages. I even checked my surroundings and found hospital equipment everything for more advanced purposes in the year 2119. I was definitely in the ...

Washed Hands, Wandering Thoughts

"How many times do I have to tell you both to knock it off?" asked my dwarven wife asking our two troublemakers of children to stop pulling each other's hair for the fifth time. She continued on by her yelling: "Do you know how long it takes to braid hair? Yet along a pair of heads?""I'm sorry, mother," cried my daughter Hilda. "But Litick started it!""No, I did not!" my son shouted. "She's lying under her breath, mom. She keeps on poking me with a comb!""Enough, you two! Now, go wash up and get ready for supper. I'll get your father," comma...
