Not All Those Who Wander…

Ok, I have to admit, that this one was a bit of a wild ride for me. The prompt was “You are an explorer searching for the lost city of Atlantis. Tell us about your search in the form of a log or diary”. I started out with the idea of the end of the search, they haven’t found the city, but are running out of time. Then I just went with it. Pretty happy with what I came up with Day 856 This is…

Slaying the Minotaur

The word of the week is Labyrinth, and I think once again my television watching is probably reflecting a little in my work.

The Mysterious Case of the Bloody Staircase

She paused only to grab a first kit from the wall when she saw the bloody hand-prints on the…

Divergence

The Road Taken Life is full of decisions, choices that define your path, and looking back I can see in perfect clarity the…

Gone

This is the story of Jackie, who one day finds that a friend is missing, then another, and then a lot of people are gone…Where are they, what happened to them? No one knows, read Jackie’s story as she struggles to figure out if she is losing her mind, or people are really just gone. At first blush it wouldn’t seem obvious that this was inspired by the idea of surviving a zombie apocalypse, but it…
