I groaned wearily: blacking out three times in a short time span really doesn’t agree with the human body. The traumatizing sensory overload definitely took its toll; every bone in my body ached and my head was pounding. What happened earlier was deeply disturbing and reinforced this awful feeling of hopelessness for my situation - I was surely in an entirely different world, dimension, whatever, and I had no means of getting home.
But you have to survive, I kept repeating, trying to grasp onto the few shreds of faith I had in myself.
The world was slowly being tuned from the staticy fuzziness that hummed around me to something more c
“I can’t believe I’m doing this.” That was the only phrase that Madi and Jake could say as, at last, they left the Nash University locker room. Well, Jake left, and Madi went with him. So, the titanic tight end found himself running through the endless corridors of the Knights’ crown jewel as the ways they came in were no longer accessible, either locked for the night or occupied by someone meant to be there. Meanwhile, Madi sat tight, somewhat literally, by his front side in the most oversized sleeping bag known to man, tucked away in the stage-right corner, thanking God that she wasn’t jostling or vacuum-sealed right by his junk a wall away. It was quite a conundrum for both of them. “I can’t believe you’re making me do this,” Jake hissed halfheartedly through his teeth, verbiage unfazed by the impromptu sprint session. Zooming through the air and pounding the floor as he ran, he didn’t know if Madi had heard him through her fabric enclosures. To be fair, though, he wasn’t
Nick was sound asleep when her voice came, so he was not to blame when he didn't respond immediately. His eyelids fluttered, and he rolled onto his side. With the chill of winter already beginning to sink its fingers into the northeast, he pulled his comforter higher over his shoulders and huddled more securely into his bed.
Her voice came again, this time permeating his sleep a little more successfully. But not successfully enough.
Something small cracked hard into the back of his head, and that finally did the job.
Nick flinched and sat straight up in bed, looking around wildly and rubbing the back of his head. His eyes went immediately

Chapter Two
Felix kicked a can down the gray line of sidewalk in front of him.
"Gee thanks, Jax, ditch your best friend last minute for work. It's not like I wanted to go to that concert or anything." He mutters to no one in particular. The can spun into the street and out of reach, he watched it with annoyed blue eyes. The day had been warm and sunny, but it was cooling down quickly. It didn't bother him much, it was still plenty warm as far as he was concerned. Arriving at his front door Felix pulled the key out of his front pocket, but it just hovered in midair as he gazed at the house next door. He and Jax had been neighbors since they
Chapter One
Joy dangled a leg off the edge of the windowsill, lazily swinging it back and forth as she doodled on the extra paper from the math homework she had completed earlier. A warm breeze blew in through the open window, and birds flew around outside chirping happily, the happiest of all seemed to be a very pudgy bluebird Joy was in the process of sketching. Glancing up from her paper she did her best to brand the shape of one of his tail feathers into her memory so she could copy it onto the page, smiling to herself when she accomplished the task. There, that was his tail done, next the legs. Looking up to examine the next part of her
“Just here please…”Michelle gulped when she recognized the safe-bay pullover that over looked a tree-cladded ravine behind the guard rail – he had sent her a picture of it so she would know.
“Y’sure this is yer stop, girl? Pretty far out of Rockwell for a young girl like yourself, heck, it’s pretty far out for anyone. You meetin a certain shady friend here?” the cab driver croaked, scratching his unkempt black 4 day shadow of a beard and looked back at her in the rear-view mirror
“No! my friend just lives far is all and this was the closest mutual place to meet…but I didn’t rea
Chapter 14 – Zelof
I settled into the accommodations offered me by village lord. It struck me as much too extravagant, boasted the best of the best even as the villagers under him worked for all they owned. I wondered how much of this came from unofficial taxes levied by the lord himself. I sighed, setting the notes from my encounter with Miss Ro beside the missive. I picked up the correspondence, taking in the crudely formed Imperial runes covering the page. A novice had written this, someone used to using common runes as opposed to Imperial ones. Still, it was legible, and that was truly all that mattered at the moment.
Sitting at t
