After fixing the squirrel tooth to Ben’s staff with a few well placed bent nails, we parted ways. They promised to head back to the high school once they’d picked up Steve’s bow, and tell anyone they saw about the plan too. Then, I continued on my circuit of the suburb.
Throughout everything, the distant or even nearby sounds of gunfire could be heard. A lot of gunfire, too...
2023-09-02 15:01:14 +0000 UTC View PostI decided to do a wide circle around the high school, through the suburban neighbourhoods where I would point everyone I saw inwards. Despite my fears that the high school might be a dungeon, I figured there would be enough people to secure and clear it. If it was even a dungeon at all. Maybe I was just being paranoid. I didn’t even have evidence that they were a thing.
The next street ...

"Thank you, thank you so much," the mother said when she saw me. "What is that thing? What's happening?"
With an internal shrug, I decided to just be straight with her. "Honestly, it looks like the world ha...
2023-09-02 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe street was fucked. Like, the actual street. The asphalt of the road was a spider's web of cracks, with some sections having been lifted half a foot above the rest. Further down the street, a water main was pissing water up almost ten feet into the air. The rainbow effect it was creating reminded me of my current gender predicament. Slay, queen?
Anyway.

2023-09-02 14:59:36 +0000 UTC View PostI hit the ground with one knee and doubled over, shaking. Did it work? Did I change? The hand holding me up certainly looked different. My fingers were lean and strong, with short, well manicured nails. My arm was thicker than mine used to be, but not too much so. The difference was in the slight curve of muscle and the faint arm hair. Where I used to have thick, black hairs covering my arms, n...
2023-09-02 14:58:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe back of the house was utterly wrecked. First, the earthquake had torn huge cracks through the drywall, then the explosion smashed all the windows and threw dirt and debris at everything like buckshot. The kitchen, which used to have a window looking out onto the back yard, was missing its entire external wall. The cupboards that still survived hung from their hinges with a tired determinati...

“It is theorised that the eld-fog is raw chaos in physical form, but there are many credible dissenting hypothesis on the subject. One only needs to interact with the fog to realise it is far too intelligent for that; far too malicious. One might even suggest that it acts more like a bored, unknowable god. Regardless of the school of thought on the matter, all agree that it is best not to...

Des arrived first and we put her up in our living room. When she asked what this was all about, we just excitedly winked and waited.
This would be the first time I'd met Larry in person, so I was interested to see what form they would take.
When they finally arrived, we were greeted with a tall, humanoid robot. ...

The first of the consumed to see me was mostly humanoid, except that each of its fingers split in two and extended out into whiplike tendrils. It screamed— no, it screeched, and twenty very long fingers reached out to grasp me.
Using both hands, I swung my pipe in an almost casual uppercut that took it under the chin with an extremely satisfying clong sound. Its head w...

Out of the small Callisto station window, haloed by the massive bulk of Jupiter, hung a large squat cylinder of alloy and composite.
