Susie and the Temple of Somewhat Peril



“Geeze, this place sure isn't friendly” Susie brush a coco bang out of her twinkling jade eyes as she looked down into the pit before her. The pit she had just barely avoided tripping into as she took her first steps into the crumbling, vine covered entrench of this ancient tomb that smelled heavily of decay and the lilacs growing just outside the entrance not ten feet away. Ten feet below her stood a garden of jagged spikes, with a decayi

"OMG,
you guys, this is going to be awesome!" said Steph as she and
her two friends, Jena and Grace, climbed the steps to the carnival
entrance. "I know, right?" said Jena, her boobs bouncing
with every step, "I haven't been to a circus since I was a
little kid! And that was in some lame tent, not in a giant!" 
"It's
gonna be so cool," said Grace, "and it's even better to go
with you guys!" The three girls ha

“Shall I
part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall
wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have
heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not
think that they will sing to me.

Combing
the white hairs of the waves blown back
When the
wind blows the water white and black
We have
lingered in the chambers of the sea
By
sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human
voices wake us, and we drown.”

Why isn't there ever anything good to eat? I groan loudly as another spasm of hunger rocks my stomach. You hear this sound breaking through the silence and you magically appear at my side. Your eyes are begging me to let you in. You want to make me happy and feel the comfort that no one else can

The young man sat at his desk,
unsure what to write. It had been like this for days now, sitting at
his desk, unsure what to do. He couldn’t take it anymore. Where was
his muse when he needed it; that simple spark within his mind to keep
him going, to make his mind wonder at its marvelous ideas? He groaned
and tossed his pencil onto the table in frustration.
Meet John. He is having what lots
of aspiring writers call writers block. The young, five foot seven
inch tall man sighed and took a st

Just a taste,�Lilly thought to herself.�Just this one, little taste.


She lifted the frightened human girl off the ground, bringing her in closer. It's just to see what all the fuss is about, she probably won't even taste very good. The little human, too frightened to even move, looked at the Lilligant with a pair of wide, tearful eyes, awaiting her fate. Lilly's petals were wrapped around her arms firmly, preventing all but the most futile struggles. Every few seconds she would sob, quietly

Anne Mansfield thought she was smart enough to survive working in an office filled with Hungered. They quizzed her about eating the 'lesser' race or doing other Hungered things and Anne told a story or two to keep their minds off the subject and her cover. A lot of humans will repeatedly chance their luck on living with the Preds undercover and making a normal living until they get caught or lose their nerve and try to escape.

The short red haired office worker enjoyed watching the various sh
