Blasted, stupid rain. It wasn’t like he was against rain. Cloudy days gave his inner emo all sorts of happy fits, and his inner romantic, his emo’s twin, wanted to look up all wet and sexy into the sky for girls to see. But today of all days—today of all freaking days. “Um…Lee?” “Shut up.” … Continue reading When Fallen, Look Up
For those of you who don’t want to invest in a whole novel or are too lazy to hunt down a fanfiction or blog or whatever, here are a list of short stories and splurgats to give you a testing taste of my stories and writing:
Another college assignment story. This one I based on two girls I knew my senior year of high school. One was…a weirdo. The other was unfortunately targeted, one of those victims of kids who are carelessly mean. My professor also didn’t like this story. Got only a B for it. Frog Girl Orchestra was a … Continue reading Frog Girl
NaNoWriMo (national novel writing month) never did anything for me because whatever social or mental mechanic it has to encourage people to write didn’t work on me. I got to writing a novel in a month or less because it was a ghostwriting job that paid well, my husband didn’t have a job because he … Continue reading Beta and Snow
Not the browser, but a story idea I thought would be fun. Sadly, again, none of the characters stepped up to tell me the story and I only got this far. It has, get this, a fire fox! Oh, bet the title didn’t clue you in. Firefox by T.S. Lowe Weights swung about Emry in … Continue reading Firefox
At the temple, Nehcor was more than happy to explain to me how to fix Gus’s problems, as well as to try and chat me up about how his wife was constantly tipping back and forth between shipping me with Roman and Derrick. Today was a Roman day, though, so Nehcor hinted that I should … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 66
I don’t know how long I sat there, herding excess calcium towards the kidneys, when I realized the calcium starting to clump in the high-pressure nodules of the kidney. They didn’t respond to my magic, rather they became dark dots where my magic couldn’t see into. Nevertheless, I couldn’t leave them there, so I threw … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 62
Ah! My nose! It itches! The sun surrounded her like a layer of hot metal. Asther could even taste the metallic taste of heat on the air—delicious air, which she breathed in deep lungfulls. The sandstone crumbled in orange-pink dust beneath her shoes and hands as she crouched with her other sisters, their eyes out … Continue reading Copper of Asther
Another story idea I played around with for a bit. Probably isn’t going to go anywhere. The cell was dark and cool, like a pantry. Unpleasant smells filled it: urine, old body odor, stale food, stale straw—but underneath it all was a tantalizing smell of wet stone and something akin to rain. It was almost … Continue reading Of Palest Ebony
In the morning I woke up to Gus passed out shirtless on the floor, a bit of drool gleaming at the corner of his mouth. The light peaking through the curtain was gray and I could hear the hushing taps of rain outside. Shivering, I sat up, wondering why my underwear felt so crusty. The … Continue reading Raising a Hero–Chapter 29
