Rules of Economics-Chapter 4.2
Continued: The 'beach bar' wasn't too far away, but to Brian it felt like another five or six miles. In fact, he wasn't quite sure it hadn't been that far. He had caught up to Janza in the first few minutes, but keeping up with her had been some...
In Real Life
Steven sat at the desk in his room. It was so late, it was about to become early. He didn't have any classes until later the next day, so he could stay up and not stress. He had already spent part of the night roleplaying with a couple of his buddies....
Magical Guardian
Once upon a time... No, that's not quite right. That makes things sound too fantastical and this story is based on reality. Somewhat. We can bend the rules a little bit, but that's what makes stories so fun. So. Let me start again. --- There was once...
Salvaged
"Steady as she goes," the call came over his ear piece. It didn't crackle or buzz, but came through crystal-clear. Technology was a wonderful thing, Desert thought, as his small Survey Ship scanned through the space junk. "Big Mama, this is SS...
Rules of Economics-Chapter 2
Chapter 2 As soon as his foot touched the floor inside, the room lit up. The room was circular, with one part of the wall devoted to a screen, like the projector screen he had watched educational films on in his science class. In the middle of the...

Bridge the Gap
Gabarus was slightly suspicious when he opened his mailbox to find a very thick envelope with his name and address on it and the words, "Congratulations, you've won!" across the top. It wasn't the first time he had gotten some kind of scam mail telling...
Rules of Economics-Chapter 4.1
Chapter 4 The walk down the stairs was smoother on her shoulders. There was a lot less shifting about that had to be done. Once Janza opened up the door though, Brian had to hold a hand over his eyes and squint. It was bright outside. Together, they...
"Online" Dating
"Heal now," the letters popped-up on the screen. Steven quickly hit his shortcut key, targeting the party's DPS, or damage per second, character. He gave an audible sigh, partly because he needed to let the emotion of exasperation out, and partly...
Workout Buddy
"Why don't you just go talk to her, Max? We see her every day in class. It's not like she doesn't know who we are. Generally speaking." Joey poked his gym buddy in the side with a slight snicker, "And if things don't go well, she's a mouse. You're a...
Lisa Lynx-Teacher's Assistant
Wolf let his head hit the desk. It was probably the most interesting sound anyone in the class had heard for the past thirty minutes as their professor droned on and on about this style of artwork that was used in the 1940's. God, this class was just...
