Montrose was showing an equal level of skill against Hamish’s heavy claymore. With the danger approaching, she was determined to make certain that everyone was prepared for the battles...

Struggling
That's the whole thing. It summarizes my life for some time now. Everything feels like an insurmountable task or a pointless endeavor. This doesn't just affect my home life, naturally, but also work. I often dive in to whatever I am working on just to feel as though it is a contribution to the success... Continue Reading →
The Court of the Good Folk
Few creatures could find the path to this hidden realm, certainly no teddy bear, but Barnabus knew the route. It was a quick journey for him, being old enough to have found shortcuts through not just dreams but of places only rumoured to exist in legends. He loathed coming to this particular realm.

A Banked Flame, complete draft
Laticia jumped to her feet, sword in hand, when the door crept open. Barnabus stepped in, followed by the biggest teddy bear she had ever seen. Barnabus stopped and looked around, puzzled. “Where are Marley and Hamish?” Laticia glared at him with her one eye. “Where have you been,” she asked in a flat voice.... Continue Reading →
A Banked Flame, part two
A short time later Marley and Hamish returned, both looking haggard, a haunted look in their eyes. Marley looked to the bed, then at the slumbering Barnabus. She exhaled softly and walked over to the corner, pulling Barnabus’s cap low over his eyes, and gently stroked his cheek. No one spoke, pretending not to see... Continue Reading →
