Endbringer Ch.1 cont
It was going to be a busy night, Larise knew, and he was looking forward to it. In his hands was a box full of Xbox 360 and PS3 games, enough to last him a month. He couldn’t wait to get home and fire up the consoles, and see how long he’d last without sleep and sole reliance on pizza, chips, and beer for nourishment. Saying his last thanks, both in words and in cash, he bid his Southerner friend...

She was cold, hungry, and alone. And by the looks of it, she was probably lost as well. She wanted to buy herself some cookies just to keep her belly from growling, but had already spent the last of whatever money she had on that phone booth. Her everything, her only hope for survival in the wicked wilds of the city, rested on that call. And to be told that the person she was looking for was...

He felt his knees crumble as he fell before the doorstep of a chapel. He banged on the door, crying “Let me in, please!” The old mahogany door creaked open and a stoic-faced fellow with the frame of a bruiser peered from the shadows. He rushed to help the weakened mess that was Darren up to his feet. “Good God,” the young man said in his distinct deep tone. “Who...

“Understood. Yes, they have already made sure. I’ll live up to my end of the bargain, you have my word.” Zinfandel heaved as sigh of relief as he heard a click on other end of the line. Never had he encountered such a hard bargainer. But he was glad. The information he had been given was vital, no doubt.
He thought of taking a break, even taking the day off. After all, one day of absence is...

The night was cloudy, depriving the land the beauty of the full moon. Accessible, yet remote, the city outskirts were obviously the quietest parts. There wasn’t much traffic, not many people scrambling about. Here, one could connect with nature and find enlightenment in the stillness. And just because it was situated far from the graces of population didn’t mean that it wasn’t safe. Contrary to...

“In a moment, please.” He called to the door after the second knock. “I’ll be right there.” He was still in his undershirt and boxers, though he was not ashamed to walk out of his room and entertained whoever requested his audience. His frame was fit enough for him to display proudly.
It was always a pleasure to be greeted with that heartwarming smile whenever he opened the door. The valet runner...

“Let her go!” the man roared as he tore off a plank from one of the many crates littered about the dank alley. He waved the piece of wood menacingly, even managing to land a hit on one of the thugs before he himself was whaled on by pipes and steel toes.
Lowlife goons. Their stupid Mohawks, anti-government music, body piercings, and leather apparel only meant trouble wherever they went. These...
Pieces of the Puzzle: Prologue, Ch. I
By nature, the mind is a dormant, harmless thing. No matter the assault, it stays still and inanimate. It withstands all slander, libel, hypocrisy, and dishonesty. It allows logic to roam freely, and for reason to go unhindered. But take the mind to its limit, and try to push it off the edge, to break its shell and leave its exposed core to the cruelties of the word, only then will you see...
