“I heard from a very reliable-”

“And drunk.”

“source that one of the last few remaining artifacts are located in this ruin.” Arric said with a small interjection from Raleigh. “And that it is only guarded by two golems and a gargoyle.”

“Stone creatures...ew.” Ash said feeling the blades on her sword. “Stone isn't nice to blades.”

“Gargoyle?” Kate said half lost in cloud-observation. “Its like a stone dragon right?”

Part 10

James quickly reached and passed through the tree line into the marsh beyond. The closer he got to the water the soggier the terrain became. It didn't take him long to start sinking into the mud and stumble forward. Struggling to stay on his feet he kept going but stumbled and fell every few feet. The mud was so sticky it sucked the shoes off his feet as he struggled forward. His blind progress slowed until he was so mired he couldn't free himself from the muck. By that point he simply fell forward and started to cry like a little baby .

New Shampoo

“Mom! What is this shampoo? Its in a pink bottle!”

“Just picked it up, by accident at the mall, Charles.”

“I can't use this! It's called 'Make me pretty'!”

“Come on. Shampoo is shampoo.”

“Fine!”

Later....

“Mom, that shampoo...it had some side effects.”

“Side effects? What do you mean?”

“Well, for starters, you might need to start calling me Cheryl”

In which Drustan finds himself in the thick of it again. Not much 'TG' stuff in this chapter but their progress to get Aiofe to Carthage is advanced by the sucessful victory over the Barbary pirates.

Chapter Two

Thank you to Lillith Langtree for creating this universe, and Marvel Comics for creating this character.

Bouncing around the globe mentally must have really taken it out of me. I slept until noon that day. I lay in bed, thinking about the events of last night. I must have been dreaming about that creepy Shadow King. There’s no one–I mean no one, who has a grill like that.

There was a light knock on my bedroom door. It was my mother “Betsy? Honey, are you up yet?”

Part 9

The entire social structure of the school was slowly shifting due to Krista's unrelenting positive attitude and willingness to reach out to others. The spirit of the school steadily shifted to one of cooperation and mutual respect. Those who didn't adapt quickly found themselves losing status. Most were smart enough to ride the wave of change and fit themselves in the new social norm.

How I wonder What You Are

I spent at least an hour laying there in bed thinking about all this before Pam returned finding my eyes closed as I contemplated my fate. Some of the lights were on so she began preparing for bed and finally shut off the lights going to her own bed. I guess she thought I was asleep as she didn’t say anything and had only whispered my name a couple of times when she first came in.

Author's note:
Thank you to Lillith Langtree and Enemyoffun for their generous help. I am one grateful little girl. Thank you also to Marvel Comics for the creation of some of the wonderful characters used in this story.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. I got up this morning, and had a feeling that I couldn’t explain. Sort of the same feeling that I got when I was about to compete in a full contact kumite. It was a nervous, light feeling in the pit of my stomach.

A Sermon from the Gospel according to St. Andrew of the May

This is a work of fiction in homiletic style. Short stories have been written as newspaper reports, magazine articles, diaries, log entries, emails, and letters. Then why not write one in the style of a sermon or homily?

Please note my thanks to Andrea Lena DiMaggio, whose previous short work, "Adara's Story," provides the background for mine.

Part 8

My thanks once again to Gabi for taking the time to apply her wonderful editing talents to this piece. Thanks, Gabs.

In this Chapter, Drustan finds himself (herself) engaged in war then ends up in personal combat with a tyrant king.
