Alex felt the bass pumping in their chest as they wove through the crowd of the mass of the house party. Making their way out of the living room turned dance floor and into the adjoining kitchen. The kitchen was much less crowded, if not quieter than the living room. Two small groups were speaking amongst each other, even with their voices raised over the music their words were largely lost amidst the tumult of sound that composed the party. The lights we

    
Saer Aylin’s armor clanked as they pushed through the undergrowth, the knight forming their own trail betwixt the trees. Dappled sunlight glinted off the plates of their armor. Saer Aylin’s quest was nearly at an end - surely they would reach their destination by the end of the day. It was mid afternoon when Saer Aylin's trek was interrupted, the trees before them parting to reveal a clearing. Within the clearing was a large pond, its water st

    
Chloros sighed as they sat on the cold deck plating and stared out through the wavering atmospheric field and at the stars. The engineer had been trapped in this cast off section of the ship ever since… Whatever it was that had torn it away from the rest of the vessel. It would have been nice to at least know what had happened, the castaway thought as they glanced up toward the ceiling. The emergency lights had gone out sometime after the initial i

    
Andrew opened the door to his car, stretching as he stepped out onto the trailhead’s parking lot. It was a fairly long drive out from town to this particular trail, but it was well worth it to him. It was a warm, sunny day and he could hear the life of the woods spread out all around him. Andrew always enjoyed when he could get away from the city for a bit, it reminded him of when he’d been a kid, back before his folks had moved them to the ci

    
I circled the fire one more time, my belly grumbling as I wove through the crowd and tried to figure out where the hells they had gone. The party was in the pit left behind by an abandoned old quarry some ways out of town and into the woods, a pile of old pallets had been doused in gasoline and set alight to serve as a bonfire. Most of the twenty some people here were here for the usual, to drink, dance, talk, and maybe hook up. I however, was here for a

    
Emilia yawned as she shuffled out of her bedroom, rubbing her eyes as she stepped out into the hallway, the floor cold on her feet. The common room of the third floor apartment she shared with her roommate, Bethany, lay before her. To her left was the door to the bathroom and beyond that was the kitchenette. In front of her was the door to the building’s hallway, to the right was the window that overlooked the fire escape, and behind her was the doo

    
I was sitting in a chair in one of the many nooks of the local library, my attention on the book I was reading. I was dressed fairly casually, jeans, a t-shirt that complimented the outline of my bust, and my favorite boots. My bag was laying on a small table next to my seat, and I was making sure to keep track of it in my periphery as I read. This was how I first noticed the stranger. At first I didn’t pay her much mind, but as she walked past me s

    
Stacey returned to her dorm room, at last she was finished with her last final for the year. She hadn’t been able to study as much as she would’ve wanted to due to that stupid end of the year party her roommate Abigail had been throwing last night. Still, Stacey smiled to herself, knowing her payback for that particular distraction had already been wrought, and now she just had to enjoy herself. The blonde adjusted her glasses as she walked ac

“Thanks for walking me back to my place.” Charlene said as she got the door to her apartment open, turning back to face Maxwell. He smiled back at her, illuminated by the hall lights. At 5 '11 he was considerably taller than Charlene’s own height of 5 '3, she briefly thought back to how the fact that she loved doing this to guys who were taller than her probably said something about her. Her eyes roved again over his handsome features, sandy blond hair that he kept cut short, s

    
Caelynn walked the forest path, the elf’s long blonde hair hanging down her back in a long braid. The elf’s white clothes were more elaborate than that of most travelers, white rather than the muted colors common to most others on the road. But now Caelynn walked alone amongst the trees, passing down yet another lonely path on her pilgrimage.


    
It was as Caelynn w

    
Lydia was hungry, very hungry. The tiny naga only needed to feed infrequently, but when she was hungry her stomach wouldn’t let her forget it. The green scaled and blonde haired naga lived in what she understood was a suburban area for humans, rather risky for a naga that was only 2 feet long as humans often regarded them as pests. But seeing as how Lydia had never really been able to reach anywhere free of the threat of humans, she’d had to h

    
Ida was once again out on her morning jog on the woodland trail. It was well before six am, and at this time of year that meant the sun had yet to rise. The young woman’s straight, brown hair was tied back in a ponytail for her run. She seemed unbothered by the early morning chill in the air, dressed in a green sports bra and dark running shorts. Perspiration had gathered on her brow from the exertion, but Ida continued on through the pre-dawn. And

Alurrik pooled comfortably, lurking in a sandstone cave that provided excellent shade from the blazing sun above. They shifted slightly within their lair. Their resting form was that of a puddle of crimson ooze, about eight feet across and three feet tall. Alurrik's form gently pulsed in and out, vague and almost humanoid shapes formed within their mass before fading away into the resting mass of ooze. Despite being unable to actually be fat, Alurrik was feeling fat and happy as a result of thei
