Cowardly Azazel

There was no feeling. No feeling in any of my limbs, I just simply was. For the longest time, I had been stuck, trapped in this hell. I don’t remember a time before I was here. Maybe I had wanted to be in this place, this ship, at some point. I know i’m wearing some sort of suit, as is the man in front of me. I don’t remember his name, if he ever had one. All of my memories had melted to time. All...

Dear Maggie,

It’s been too long- our seasonal room has changed up to 15 times since you last came over!

I know it gets more difficult each year to part from your studies and slumber job, so no rush.

Speaking of jobs, I finally got on the waitlist for host. I had to make some changes, but your wyline here has made a good setup to feed the implant and keep the wyque flowing. My mom said she was pr...

Viktor

As for the way funerals typically go, _his_ had better be near indistinguishable from the ordinary.

This is the first thought Viktor has when he returns to his body from the arcane astral realm. He finds himself back among the floating, glowing tethers of his orbital commune coccoon, moments after the arcane was so very kind to show him the future of how he dies a second time.

Viktor’s physica...

Space Between Stars

Twill

1 min read

The space between the stars holds endless possibility, opportunity and doom. Why stay on this small orb revolving around someone else’s sun? Why not kindle your own solar system? You know it is not this sun’s gravity that holds you back. It is the dark cold mixed with hastily erratic explosions that you must conquer to establish that new constellation. Like drowning in endless crashing waves and l...

“Mr. and Mrs. Carter, thank you so much for taking the time out of your schedule to meet with us virtually today,” Rhoda said.

“It’s Dr. Carter and I am between patients. What is the matter with Adam?” Dr. Carter said.

“You said this was urgent. What do you say my boy did? Because you’re wrong. He’s a good boy,” Mr. Carter said.

“Calm down Penn. The school knows, he’s a good boy,” Dr. Carter sa...

Sojourn City

D. B.

4 min read

Sojourn City was not built to last. The people that lived there either never got the memo, or decided to ignore it. Probably treated that message the same as eviction notices. Resiliency and stubbornness can often look like the same thing.

It’s a ramshackle place of progress for the sake of progress, with budding buildings sprouting on top of and in between old ones like cells dividing and multi...

Julius

His hands were blackened with soot.

Not from today, but from everything before

A man of few words, at least to the outside world. With a voice like gravel, he saves his conversations for the fire, whispering secrets to his explosive creations like they’ll whisper back.

Flint moves through the world like a man born in fire and baptized in flame. He takes pride in his work and in what it creates...

“Not one stinkin fish today”. My cousin was out here yesterday caught 5 bass over 5 pounds. I can hear her rubbing it in, “Whos the hammer in the family now”! Ugh….the embarrassment is almost too much to bear. I’ll give it 20 more minutes. The river was especially beautiful tonight. The way the light of the full moon hits the river surface makes it look like a mirror. The mirror is reflecting moon...

Path

Sui Sapphire

What did you do?

For the world to turn its back?

I’d assume you to be evil,

For you to not follow its path

What did you do?

To cause the stars to lose their way?

I’d assume you to be like us,

For you to wander astray

What did you do?

When you caused the ground to shake?

I’d assume you to be different

For being the one to walk away

What did I do?

When I chose to follow you?

I’d assume I’d lost m...
