“If you could go anywhere in time, backwards or forwards, where would you go?”The question came just as our waitress was walking away with our order and took me by surprise. I looked at the attractive dark-haired man across the table and thought about how to answer. Sure, it was a bit cliche, but not the worst ‘getting to know you’ question I’d ever heard.“1933,” I settled on after a moment. I took a roll from the basket in the middle of the table tore off a piece to eat while I waited for him to ask me to elaborate.But he just chuckled and ...
The first time I met Arthur, we were both young and stupid. I was younger than him, actually—by about two years; not a lot of people know that. To be honest, I don’t think I could have existed without him.

Weekly Contest #305
Marhala sat on the counter fiddling with the strings of their lute, desperately searching their mind for any inspiration and coming up empty. They sighed and let their head fall back against the wall behind them, closing their eyes. The feeling of their horns hitting the solid wood rattled their skull, making their headache worse, but they didn't have the energy to care.When the door opened, they didn't bother looking. They recognized the footsteps of their boss, a bitter old elf—and old was really old for an elf—whose patience with them was...
