FANTASY NOVELLA EPISODE #1

This story was originally written in 2022 and is now being serialized. The stone steps were adorned with flaking paint, splotched in ornate patterns of flowers and curving shapes, all brightly colored with fading edges. From within the dark recesses of the cove, came the warbled, but melodic cacophony of music, sometimes shrill and sometimesContinue reading “FANTASY NOVELLA EPISODE #1”

Fantasy world story segment #1

The rising sun cast a leprous yellow light atop the smoldering battlefield. The enemy, a dark and bloodied mass of bodies, was streaked in crimson stains that glistened through soaking gray robes. Faint waters lapped at the border of the plain from an ocean too distant to wash death away.             The Emorian victory hadContinue reading “Fantasy world story segment #1”

2200 Blues Interlude (Early Draft)

Sand irritated his feathers, having burrowed under his layers of red plumage. He twitched, jerking his feathers back and forth. Sand drizzled out from in between his twisted feathers where there were caked banks of sand underneath.

But as his eye-lids closed, he’d always be jolted awake by the strain and motion of dangling in flight.  The grey light with flickers of red fire shoneContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 44 (Early Draft)”

2200 Blues Chapter 43 (Early Draft)

Upon leaving the roars and hissings of the water, Father Hawk was assailed by the raucous howlings of wolves. They growled, grated, barked and haunted the world with their eerie, high pitched cackling howlings. It was a sea of unrelenting, booming cries for death, ringing in booming blood curling tones.  Father Hawk was still engulfedContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 43 (Early Draft)”

2200 Blues Chapter 42 (Early Draft)

Tears seeped from Father Hawk’s stinging eyes, befuddling his vision  as they splayed out, merging into the volumes of the Shadowlake. The sight of Mother Hawk’s burning grew blurrier and distant.  It was then at the welling of further anguished tears, trembling at the brink of the wavering scene of Mother Hawk that Father HawkContinue reading “2200 Blues Chapter 42 (Early Draft)”
