You lot should know how this works by now. Winner of this poll is guaranteed 2 chapters next month. As per my executive decision, the winner of last month's poll does not feature in this one.
Also, fair warning, I am considering taking a week off in July. I mean, I do live in the DC area so I may as well be 'Murican. What this might mean is that I might reduce commissions down from 7 to 6...

“There is something wrong with this family, brother,” my beloved twin said, her icy-blue hair framing a set of dazzling, sunset eyes that gleamed with determination. “I’ll change it all. This family’s ridiculous notion of nobility, the people’s opinion of us. One by one if I must. That will be...

I let out a deep breath as I took stock of the mess around me. Rocket was thankfully the only pokemon who was injured, though he'd take a week or so to recover from this fight. Spade was physically fine but the young drilbur had just hacked a crustle to death. I'd be surprised if he wasn't shellshocked. Scout fared the best of...

I bolted out of bed. My wife was screaming, a piercing shriek that sent stabbing pain into my eardrums. Her panic banished the fog of sleep and sent my heart pounding into my throat.

In the end, I decided I wouldn’t be going on a one man crusade against the corrupt policemen of Vale. Amber, reasonably, pointed out that it wouldn’t be right to hold them all responsible for one idiotic talking head. Worse, if I pulled his entrails out of his anus, I’d only be validating everything he said about m...
