《Just a Rock》Chapter 11: Youthful Indescretions
Advertisement
If the rock were a person, the loss of its parents would have greatly shaped its development. However, it`s just a rock, so the mechanical forces of thermal expansion, gravity, water, and plant roots are what made it into the rock it is today. Over time, the boulder that it used to be cracked and broke into several pieces. Arguably, these other pieces could also be the rock, but, of course, the rest are just pretenders to the title, mere stones to the rock’s uber-rockiness.
One day, as a young rock up in the mountains, the rock decided it was time to travel and explore the world. It booked a trip with Avalanche Snowlines; they had terrible service and only one trip a year, but the rock had no choice because they had a monopoly on travel in the area.
After waiting for a whole winter, it was finally time to leave. In the spring, snowmelt carried the rock into the local tributary. The trip had terrible turbulence and was quite uncomfortable for the rock, but it was good for character-building; by the time the rock was halfway down the mountain, it was much more well-rounded than before.
Young and large and clumsy, the rock crashed into a shy amethyst geode who was also travelling in the river. It broke open the outer stone, revealing the crystalline contents within. If the amethyst were a girl, it would have been mortified at the indecent display, but of course, it was just a crystal.
The rock pushed the crystal out of the river, away from staring bystanders—that is, if rocks had eyes. He—er, it—apologized profusely to the amethyst and helped repair the damage as best it could, which, of course, was no help at all.
Because of this incident, the rock and the amethyst got to know each other and realized they had a lot of the same interests, like existing.
One thing led to another, and the two ended up spending the night together. The amethyst showed that it wasn’t as shy and pure as it appeared—after all, its purple color was due to iron impurities. The rock was rather reluctant to depart in the morning, but Avalanche was extremely unforgiving when it came to trip cancellations and rescheduling, and it was swept away by the next day’s melt.

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.
