dark, stale and untouched
by looting. Wandering past
racks of clothes never to
be worn, she grabbed a coat.

He tried to pet the ghost
cat, but his hand passed
right through it.

"So... um, what killed
you?" Jerry asked the
small phantom.

#Thurds

"Our cycle's done."

He awoke, blinking as
she brushed his cheek. 

"Surprised? I warned you
the regeneration might
flip our sexes."

#FictFri

The cigarette dipped into
butane flame. Viv sucked a
drag, and head bobbing to
the beat she snapped the
Zippo closed.

She smiled as they began
rolling up characters. "I
like you."

"I like you too," he
replied. "You're a girl

"Strategic A.I. networked
to an army of unquestioning
drone bombers. Yes, this is
peace in our time... the
peace of the grave."

#1lineWed

Jane's arm spasmed, ripping
loose from her shoulder.
Thrashing, it snapped a
lamprey's mouth where it was
formerly attached.

#ThruLineThurs

Confident in his victory,
the minotaur lifted the
scrawny gladiator over
his head. It was then
that he found out the
kid was a were-elephant.

#FictFri

With a only short knife
in hand, the Pict woman
met the legionaries with
fury.

None of her infant son's
killers survived her wrath.

He opened the tent flap,
letting in the sounds of
the river and wild.
Lifting her blanket, he
welcomed her naked embrace.

Prince. It's you that is
wise learning from them."

#1lineWed

bear, and the child
behind it.

Unphased, she looked

them she was far from

David grabbed the
dice. "Will you ever NOT
go for Indonesia, Corvus?

#FictFri

"How did it end? The
gov'ment released a
counter-virus. Saved all
of us that were still
kickin'! That's 'bout
2 mill', worldwide."

#SciFiFri

"I thought it'd be different."

She looked to him, now as
beastly as he. "Our love's the
same. Now my beauty is wild
and free."

#SlapDashSat

"I'm just saying it's
kind of funny to see
a 35 ton mech with
rabbit ears, Kim."

"They're heat sinks!"

"And the painted nose?"

"Aesthetic motif."

#SUNwip

She whipped her head,
and a silken tendril
of animate hair punched
a robber. Beside her,
Beard Man watched his
daughter with pride.

#MuseMon

A blade was drawn. "I
bring a gift from Ramesses."

He looked to her lioness

her fingers, and into
the tiger enclosure.

"That was dumb of me!"

She jumped the guardrail
to get it back.

#1lineWed

The two rats searched
the bed, and Mary soon
found Joel's iPhone.

"I'd better start
Googling," he said,
typing 'undoing curses'.

#Thurds

A tentacle from the
shirtless boy's back
drew close. Bikini
clad Sara gasped, then
entwined one of her
own tentacles around
his.

#SciFiFri

Moon reached for her
lover, kissing Sun
under his halo of
fire. Gods and cosmos
aligned. Creation
followed. 

#FictFri

He brandished the gun
between them and pointed
it skyward. “It’s simple
Cori… we’re gonna hunt
some orc!”

#SunWIP #ViviansLast

Fire and ice, the
elementals embraced. She
melted, he steamed...
and from the vapors
they emerged as hot
spring sprites.

#LoveLines

"Trans-relativistic
hyper-velocity travel!
There before you leave,

were only of tenuous
concern to her... Mearly
fragile mosaics of
watercolor and gossamer
that she ignored. 

#1lineWed

"Now you pay for your
pagan infidelities, witch!"

Blood spread. "But I
die free, inquisitor.
Untainted... You will not."

#ThruLineThurs

"You're a flawed,
imperfect toad! I've
been genetically
filtered!"

Stout Muriel eyed
the seemingly perfect
Eve. "Humanity lives
in our flaws." 

#SciFiFri

A Molotov broke and set
the police droid ablaze.
It didn't care. Shooting
rubber bullets into the
riot, it guarded the
children.

#FictFri

"Lady Cobra? Jeez, our
team-up is going to
sound like a prank!"

"Why?"

He shook her hand. "Mad
Mongoose, pleased to
meet ya!"

house, children in bed,
and Max washing dishes.

She hugged him from
behind. "You're the

Her dress fell to the
floor as she began
tugging off his shirt.
"Enough foolish games...
Let me give to you! Let
me receive in return."

"We're caretakers of
the forest, not its
warriors."

Lanu looked to his entwife
and their daughter. "Against
this foe, we must be both!"
