Writing Prompt: July 19 - "Choose a lyric from a song and let it inspire you to write a fantasy story."

His armour shone, but only barely. His lance was hanging on by a thread. Literally, he had wrapped the weak spots with threads he had scavenged from sacks and discarded clothing he'd been able to find on his journey here. Not to mention the fact that he showed up with Moscow, his loyal mule, r...

Writing Prompt: July 18 - "Write a story that ends with the line, 'Amidst the chaos, I fade away peacefully in your arms.'"

The harsh sun beats relentlessly down between the tile and concrete, slamming it's heat through space and time to reach Earth from millions of miles away only to reflect back up till it meets with metal, plastic, and flesh. The lingering moisture from the festering cesspool ...

Ohhhh why haven't they put it outside yet?

When I was little and whined like that, I was placed in the backyard expeditiously. I don't know what makes this furless wonder any different, but for some reason when he whines and whines and whines they just hold him and ...
