Learning Who’s in Charge
“Hello!?!? Anyone there? Hello!?!?”
Our hero looked around the white emptiness of his new existence trying to find some sign of anything. He was unaware of what was truly in store for him as his dangerous; life threatening adventure was just beginning…
“Wait just one minute. Who the hell are you?”
“Who me?”
“Yes, you. The one that is [...]
Talk’s Cheap
Note: I will be the first at admit this one isn’t my greatest, far from it. And that was reflected on the grade I got for it. It is me just being silly with my writing, so why not include it.
“Do you mind if I sit down with you,” the man said as he sat [...]
Was it for Honor?
Was it for honor? Was it for justice? Was it for himself, or was it for her? Why? Why was he out here? He couldn’t figure it out himself, but he knew for some reason he had to be out here. He was on the side of justice, the side of good. He was going [...]
The Thief
The dagger slid out from between the man ribs with far more ease than the thief thought. The thief wiped the blood off of his blade on the dead man’s tunic and put it back in its sheath. The thief robbed the dead body, taking all the man’s money. The thief pulled out two gold [...]

Lust
Note: I am going to do a complete rewrite of this story and do other ones based off the seven deadly sins and seven heavenly virtues.
The stench that hung in the air was a mixture of cigarette smoke, booze, and over sexed hormones. Most patrons sit at circular tables spread throughout the room; others have [...]
Leslie
Leslie ran out to roll up his car window. It wasn’t the first time. Leslie had been trying to kill his Grandmother for the last year. Every time he made an attempt, things didn’t go as planned. He always forgot a key factor that prevented her death, a death that would set him up for [...]
Hurt
He looked out over the city night from the balcony of his high-rise penthouse apartment. The city lights flickered in a multitude of colors, pushing back the darkness and out shining the brilliance of the star filled sky.
