Lullaby of the Lost
We are the mothers of soot-
We called it a birth, but the word on everyone’s mind was death.
We sing our mournful song-
We were only children; the seven of us, and at sixteen rotations, I was the oldest.
For we have lost our eggs-
Mohri Ibenmihl turned fifteen today.
And now our future’s gone-
The small, fair-haired girl could hardly walk under the strain of the globe of her stomach, and we six Nethenil did what we could to bear her towards the surface.

Our voices reverberated deep within the depths of the cavern, ringing out in haunting melody.
Turn your eyes

Xavier tensed. His fingers opened and closed, as if hungry for a weapon's grip.
Bogie raised a finger quietly. "Play it cool. Lay low, don't spaz; it'll probably get bored, move on, and forget about this neighborhood."
Xavier's fingers stopped flexing. The probe then veered away from their spot and flew over the street. Xavier heard no noise except the gentle whispering whoosh of the craft's engine, the crunch of tires on the pavement, and his own pounding heart.
Tires? A vehicle was here? Didn't the driver see what was above? Had the probe seen what was below?

Chasing Today -- 1There was no horrifying scene to play over and over in his mind, like that is so often described by unfortunate witnesses, only a vivid and painful sense of loss. For the first time in over a year, Chad Anderson was alone in his own unfamiliar head, with only his thoughts to assuage the gaping hole that had been torn in him. He had known the exact moment of Damians death because of their mental link, it had ripped him out of his sleep, a deep jagged pain and the feeling that half of him was slowly being pulled away while he was helpless to do anything about it. He would never be able to admit it, but he was terrified of the emptinessChasing Today -- 14 years ago in Mystery & Suspense

The specter drifted through the skeleton of the colossus between its monolithic metal ribs. The jagged, torn edges pointed defiantly towards the very sky that killed it. The ground where the colossus had fallen was covered in glass, sterilizing all plant life that once was, and the sky choked on ubiquitous ash, suffocating both the sun and the stars.
The specter continued to drift through the boneyard. Its gaze floated over the bodies of the damned. The 11 trillion souls that had perished from the death from the sky.
As the specter’s glazed eyes drifted over the wasteland, a massive wall rose fro

Covenant, Part 2 -Cacilia-Covenant, Part 2 -Cacilia-9 years ago in Fantasy
Once upon a time, there was a witch, in a small village not far from the Undead City.
This witch was in a covenant of thirteen such witches, who were devote followers of the village's patron goddess. The covenant had faced a hard battle to keep their Goddess and her ways alive, but the witch, whose name was Cacilia, had survived that battle, and much more. For you see, Cacilia was not always a covenant witch…She had, at one time, been a solitary practitioner of a darker art. One of flesh and bone, soul and skin known as facere. Cacilia made regular offerings to a goddess so old, not a one recalled her original name. This goddess had des
