“Oh, hell!” Carla frantically grabbed for the tissue box. The spilled latte had soaked her keyboard and was heading toward the annual report.

“Ack! Not that!”

The printer had been down all morning and her meeting was in 15 minutes. She was presenting to the Board of Directors. The promotion was so close she could taste it.

Danny was in his tracksuit taking his morning run, twice round the block in preparation for a five kilometer race for charity when he ran past a couple of kids playing football. An overzealous kick a few seconds later and Danny nearly trips over the ball.

"Oi, mister, can you pass the ball back."

Danny obliged adding a tad more velocity to the ball. The ball flew past their heads into the Smythe...

Elora had just walked out of the armory after checking each direction to make sure the halls were cleared, she was wearing her training leathers and her hair was in a braid that rested on her shoulder.

I thought victory would taste of pure gold. Nectar of the God's plucked from the Heavens for those worthy to claim it. How wrong I was.

Victory has left an acrid taste in my mouth; bitter, dry, hollow. My all consuming desire for ascension has turned the fire in my veins to ash. I look down to my armour. Gouges mark out her inferior attempts to fight back. Lucinda's. My gaze drifts to her now. H...

I have to lure the guard from his position, incapacitate him, and don his clothes without anyone noticing. Easy right? I have spent the past 10 years perfecting the skills needed for the task. Skulking through Ormond's back alleys, pickpocketing and pilfering what I deemed necessary to survive was how I made it this far, and the skills I gained would guarantee my future. Archer's little game allow...

"We are almost out of here, alright-" Erica says as she hoists a teammate over her shoulder to help him walk as he was badly injured. Blood spilling out where his leg had once been. She had tried to use a makeshift tourniquet but there was only so much she could do at the moment.

Suddenly a red dot appeared on her chest making her stop in her tracks, her eyes going wide as she looked to see wher...

We both look around anxious, how did we even get here in the first place?! We look around trying to find a way out. It feels like we’re almost going in circles but there’s no giving up. Jack flicks his brown hair out of his eyes and stares at me, “Do you think there’s a way out?” I freeze, anxious at this comment. Could it be true that there’s no way out of this place? I look side to side, looking...
