Day 4,509
There was one reason I hated dense forests: mosquitoes.
The tiny suckers swarmed me almost as soon as I had stepped foot beneath the dark green canopies of the trees, and I had to defend myself constantly from their annoying and persistent attacks. Hours went by as I began my search for the Muulwark, and by noon, angry red bites covered my hands and face. I was fortunate that I am wearing my leather armor and trousers. Otherwise, even my arms and legs would not be spared.
It was late afternoon when I found the first sign of my quarry: a large tree uprooted and lying on its side, gnawed on as if by some giant dog, saliva still dripping from its bark. Most monsters tend to do this, of course. But as far as I know, only a Muulwark lives in this forest.
I continued my search with more wariness. The gnawed tree trunk was not the only sign I discovered. A trail ran north fifteen minutes from where I had found the tree trunk, and I followed it until the sunlight completely left the forest and the only light came from an early full moon.
In the darkness of the forest, I knew I was not safe. So I searched for a suitable hiding place until I found a small depression in the ground large enough to fit me. As I am writing this, I am huddled with my pack and weapons within easy reach, listening for any unnatural sound that would betray the Muulwark’s approach. I didn’t have time to set up any kind of traps, but my hearing is as good as a wolf.
Just now, I heard a roar.

Upheaval - The Gentle Apocalypse
The world is changing, but people carry on. Early in the summer, the world started changing. It is not known who first found out, but magic was real, or had become real. Of course, with the world as interconnected as it is, it took only two days for most people to know about it. Online groups sprang up, eager to test humanity’s collective new toy. Quickly, it was found out that it was all but harmless; there were (unconfirmed) reports of deaths as soon as the first day. Nevertheless, it is a novelty to most, trying it out like you’d try sports or a game. The world marches on as scientists set out to study this new phenomenon, to use it for furthering our collective knowledge and to understand it. But that won’t show any results any time soon; it is only five days since the “Reveal” meanwhile I’m out camping. I had planned this since March, to unwind from sixteen years of studying. Finally! Finally I am done with school! Getting a job is another matter… So I figured, with this magic stuff, why not try out meditating on it? I’ve enjoyed more than enough books and other media that at least some of the magic methods should be viable. Turns out, the world might not let me relax. R15+ Coarse language and adult themes. This story is finished.

Death’s Dancer is the most powerful supervillain in the world. Or at least she will be soon. As the newest graduate of the world’s only academy for supervillains, she has one month to prove her skills by terrorizing the city of Toronto and defeating its resident superhero, Fireball. Should she fail, the powerful organization that paid for her schooling will make sure she remains ordinary, powerless Delphi Dunn forever. But Delphi is well-armed with a kickass evil ballerina costume, the ability to mentally alter inanimate objects, and a love of the spotlight. It won’t be long before the city is trembling at her feet. Death’s Dancer’s first day on the job starts with a bank robbery and a narrow escape from Fireball, and it isn’t long before she’s hijacking television broadcasts and blowing up buildings. But when Death’s Dancer’s crimes turn deadly, Delphi finds herself caught between her two identities. With time running out and Fireball hot on her tail, Delphi must decide if she has what it takes to be a supervillain. Hers is not the only deadly secret in the city however, and the choice might already be out of her hands.
8 105Who Fixes Books Anyway?
On the pretense of a raise, the relatively new employee Pernie is called in to talk with her superiors. NOTE: This is a short story written for a class I took recently. As a result of deadlines, it does not possess the quality (or length) that I would like and is rather thrunkated. Perhaps sometime far in the furture I'll fix it up. For now, I have much more important things to work on, such as my other fiction.
