A Stormy Sea
The sea churned with the movements of the small armada, each ship adding to the waves as they glided through the darkened waters. The sky above was choked with thick plumes of smoke, masts collapsing under raging fires as cannons sounded out through...
Tailoring Desire
Kevin's keys jiggled in his hand for a moment as he juggled between them and the plastic bag in his other hand. He glanced over his shoulder for a second, quirking an eyebrow at his across the hall neighbor's door. Simon had been quiet the past couple...
An (in)Decent Job
Streetlights flickered along the street as the last few ribbons of sunlight faded into the darkness. Desperately they sputtered to life, driving away the shadows for a brief moment before going dead once more. The city hadn't bothered repairing them in...
Inital Fitting
Normally, Simon wasn't the type to order random things from off the internet. Being far more reserved about the miracle products that spam the average e-mail box than most users it still came as a surprise to himself when he found one item in...
Spike's Tale
"Letters..." He grumbled, throwing down the rumpled sheet of paper. The sun shimmered off his green scales as he stepped out of the cramped, ill-sized tent, traveling down the gentle slope. Around his neck, the heavy, spiked chain tinkled and rapped...

The Customer is Occasionally Right
I work in a sex shop. There, I said it. Just make sure you get it all out of your system. Working in the adult industry, if we can use a more delicate term, as I do isn't all orgies with famous porn stars and drinking absinthe out of eight...
Shift
_Shift! Change your life and your lifestyle!_ It wasn't as if this was something new to find on a long, thin soft drink can. The addition of various 'herbs' and 'vitamins' to the ingredients list in bizarre quantities also had no effect. No, it...
Experimentation
The lab itself loomed rather massively over him as he stood outside the main doors. The loose clothes and ratty shoes he wore only made him feel more uncomfortable. The appointment had been for noon and it was now 11:50. He still couldn't get up the...
Modifications
Gaudy neon lights streamed through the smog-laden streets, the light green haze visible even through the thick goggles he wore. The re-breather hummed softly, ionizing the surrounding particles and shunting them to the scrubbers on either side. It did...
