A weekly compilation of collected microfictions composed by yours truly. If your time is short, these are shorter! He'd hiked up a mountain in Maine, Mai one in Japan. They met in wonderment, brought by the mists to an Everest sized pyramid. His birth removed from the time stream, he lingered as a paradox. Memories... Continue Reading →

Pinning the knight's swordarm, Oris stabbed him in the eye. He sang a song alone: A man now a monster, a giant spider... Continue Reading →
