Barduk awoke to the roosters call. Another morning, another day at the mines. The kobold cursed his captors…his slavers. He cursed men. He cursed elves. He cursed dwarves. And he cursed his creator. Born only to be hunted and enslaved by creatures far stronger than his own.

His master, Pyetr, a dwarves son of a whore, soon barged in to the slave’s quarters, forcing Barduk and his kobold peers to...

Paisley made sure her human, Dave, was asleep, before she snuck out of the window to the fire escape.

She was excited and could feel each strand of fur stand on end. Paisley was going to meet up with the other pets from the building for their weekly gathering.

She gracefully leapt from step to step up to finally she was on the roof of Dave’s building....

Detached from the host, the shadows are dancing

Halloween is their time for a ghastly embracing.

But shadows, detached or in place,

Won’t exist without a lights trace....

I was quiet but was not blind,

Did my best the truth to find…

What I found was quite unkind;

Evil craves your mind to bind.

Algorithms meant to lie,

Dopamine hits that get you high…

These elites think themselves sly

While their system makes brains fry…

We all need to break this glass…

Go outdoors and touch some grass,

Smell the coffee, shake that ass,

Leave the laziness en mass...

To everyone else he looked like the strong silent type, but Gershon was much more than that. He was rough due to his upbringing, his military career, and also his work as a special operator for a mercenary unit.

He was high functioning enough to socially pass as normal, if a bit creepy, but deep within, ...

“Play the Markets,” Bob told me,

“No, Crypto is the way to go!”

-Advised us both did Lee.

All of us wanted some dough,

Yet all of us are still dirt poor....

The math isn’t mathing

Something is off

Thought I’d be winning

But lost all my stuff...

“First time?” Liu asked his temporary roommate, “Try to relax. It won’t take too long. Well, so long as you don’t have anything to hide.”

“I…I don’t,” the young woman stuttered, “it’s just a little nerve racking getting a random scan like this.”

“You get used to it,” the man answered, “my name Liu, what’s your name?”

“Janna, nice to meet you,” she outstretched her hand, slowly feeling her comf...

When the moonlight hits a flowing river in the evening…it paints the sky with a marvelous display of color. It’s a rainbow to be sure, as all manner of light refraction tends to to be, but this one is pure magic! The glow it paints across the night sky is soft and cool, yet it emits that warm and comforting glow of the moonlight. The colors are more disperse and bleed into each other seamlessly. A...

We fear the boogyman, and things that go bump in the night. Scared of the unknown, of ghosts and demons… But the real threats to us are much closer to home… Inder the guise of diversity, our virtue signaling is leading us into a new world war.

Savages. Barbarians. Zealots of a religion that see it their spiritual duty to subjugate disbelievers and to kill those living a life they do not approve ...
