《Checkpoint》Crime spree part 1
Advertisement
Mal was hunched over a box inside of a alley, dressed in their disguise. As they worked they sung a classical song to themselves.
gypsy, oh tell me,
does she want to marry me?
mal duck taped two aerosol cans together, both ready to burst at any moment. Then Placed them on top of a pile of shredded paper and dry leaves for kindling
gypsy, oh tell me,
when will the wedding be
a can of turpentine placed next to the aerosol cans, was getting charcoal lighter fluid poured on it
she cried,
she cried,
mal took a bucket of paint thinner and began spreading it around
listen to what the Gypsy said,
oh, no no no no no no no
they got up, splashing the flammable liquid onto the nearby building,
Listen to what the gypsy said,
oh no no no no no no no
mal climbed through the broken window of the building and opened a bottle of nail polish remover
Gypsy! Say it ain’t true
mal began pouring it onto the carpet
watch out, oooh she doesn’t love you
watch out, ooh she doesn’t love you
Tossing the empty bottle aside, mal took a bottle of bleach from underneath the sink, and splashed it on the cabinets
Gypsy! Say it ain’t true!
they continued to sing to themself as they did a spin, spraying a can of hairspray as they did
watch out, ooh she doesn’t love you!
they stopped spraying, did a bow, then climbed out the window. They finished up by, going back with the fire box, placing the box in the room, and leaving out the window again.
Taking a couple steps back, mal took a look at their work and deemed it suitable. Taking even more steps back until they were about 10 feet away from the building (About 3.02 meters), mal pulled a bottle of ‘damn Daniel’s white vodka’ (I was trying to think of an alternative to jack Daniels, and my brain did this) with a soaked rag stuffed in the top, with a ‘dic’ lighter in the other hand, (someone stop me) they lit the rag and threw the Molotov at the house, lighting it in flames.

the house belonged to Mal’s aunt Betty, who testified against them in court, (wow petty) and they took a few seconds to enjoy the display, before running away. Even as they ran, the contents of the ‘fire box’ could be heard combusting and exploding in the distance. On to the next target.
——————————————————
with a ‘click’, Mal had finished rigging a bomb to the door of a storefront. Stepping out the back door before blocking it shut, mal moved on to the next building.
with the materials from shops, bomb making was much easier, which is why mal was currently planting door bombs in near by buildings, (okay, i’ll let y’all have a hint about Mal’s past) luckily for mal, an old coworker had taught them how to rig explosives to detonate upon the opening of a door. (What the fuck was your job mal?)
mal wonder what their old company was up to, they haven’t met in person in twenty years, and had lost contact 15 years ago. Mal made a note to take a visit to one of their warehouses after they were done with this stuff, it should have lots of useful items for them.
Mal took a look at the sky, the smoke from aunt Betty’s house could be seen even from the storefront, a mile away, nice. “Oh well, time to get back to work” mal announced as they strolled to the next store.

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.
8 101Is It Too Late To Move My Lair?
A legendary dragon... It has been told in the stories for hundreds of years. Some say it keeps a mountain of treasure in its cave, some say it is a vicious beast, some say it protects the village nearby, some claim it can grant their wishes, and some just think it's nothing more than a fairytale. He is not. The dragon is very real, although he isn't bothered by what people think of him in the slightest. He also doesn't have a grand treasure, nor does he grant wishes, like a magical genie. He is not interested in eating humans either. And as for protecting them… well. This is the story of the time before the legends, how they came to life and a dragon in the quest of his snooze. In a nutshell, this is a simple, light-hearted story with a dragon in it. What I have in mind is a relatively short one compared to most of the works on this site, but we'll see where it goes. This is my first attempt at writing something like this, so please be patient and kind in pointing out mistakes. As for the posting schedule... let's say it will be sporadic. Hope you enjoy reading, as much as I do while writing it… THE STORY IS NOT DROPPED, JUST SLOW ON THE UPDATES. Cover art by Nane, aka me. (Cross-posted on Scribble Hub.)

8 117Twig
Twig is a commentary on the life of those born into locations and situations of poverty, crime, and hopelessness. Do we look for ways to escape, try to make things better for those who can't, or give up altogether? It’s an adventurer filled with humor, horror, and heroism, but most importantly, heart. Beneath the trials of Twig lay the conflicts of survival vs. progression. You'll laugh along the way, but will you see more than the comedy?
