《Humanity's End》Chapter 13.5
Advertisement
Isaka’s eyes opened and she saw only darkness. She felt something brush against her skin and her back rub against gravel as she was dragged across the ground. She groaned and put a hand to her head.
She found her right arm was caught in an iron like grip as whatever had kidnapped her dragged her behind it.
“You are a mighty warrior.” The hyena thing said. Its voice was harsh, filled with a merciless humor. It yipped happily as it dragged her behind it. “Like those we fought with before the long sleep. Long, yes, long long sleep.”
“What are you?” She asked as she reached down with her free hand only to find her hip holster empty.
“We are the pack. The pack yes, the pack. You will make a good prize. Good training for young hunters. We lived here long, long before you lived here easterners. In the days of the stars, and magic. Before fire, powder, wheels and steel. We were asleep last, so we woke up first. But soon more will come. More, yes. More.”
Isaka had no idea what this thing was rambling about. “If you’re so old, then how do you speak english?” It yipped a harsh and bitter laugh.
“I am not speaking your crude tongue. No. I speak the language of spirits. All spirits speak as one. You hear, and think in your tongue. Can’t be helped. No, it can't be helped. But you will taste good after some chasing, and fear pumping through your blood.” the creature yipped happily. Isaka realized then that she heard the gunfire of the firefight only distantly now. There were other shapes moving next to them in the dark, through the grass like sharks through darkened water.
“Make her sleep” another lower voice said from somewhere off to Isaka’s right. “She sees us now, hears us. She can learn too much from the pack.”

“She will be dead soon.” Isaka’s captor snapped towards the new voice. His teeth clacking together in a threat. “The pups will hunt her, learn from her strength. When they are done she will not be able to speak of what she hears or sees.”
“But if she escapes. . .”
“She will not. The humans of this era are weak, they use their steel and their powder as a crutch against the powerful. Soon they will learn, they should have embraced the system's gifts. That is the only way they would have been strong enough to withstand our awakening.”
“Make her sleep!” The second voice said, this time pleading. “Before we say more.” Her captor growled deep in his throat, before dropping her arm and rounding on her. It breathed out a purple haze as it opened its jaws wide. Isaka tried to not breathe in, she held her breath as long as she could. Then, only took shallow breaths. But the haze lingered, and soon her vision blurred. Then, the darkness of sleep took her.

Game Of Thrones: Season 8 - The Right Way
Game of Thrones has been an international phenomenon... until this final season. The last few episodes went completely off the rails and everyone slams critics for saying it was bad and challenged people to write it better. I humbly want to accept that challenge and I'm giving it a shot. Some of you may like my take on things and some may not.I will (hopefully) publish each chapter as I write them, every week to two weeks, in between my daily stories and time permitting.

Storm
The Storm started six months ago, and no one knows where it came from. All they know is it hasn't stopped for a single day, and you better follow the one rule: Don't go out in the rain. Hiding in the broken building of her old high-school, seventeen-year-old Marylou is one of the few to have survived this far. She doesn't believe in the Ghosts -- shapeless creatures said to roam under the rain outside -- but, to be fair, she doesn't really believe in anything except booze and the unconditioned love of her ball python snake, Evil Noodle. Chance brings Marylou together with Amy, a mysterious girl with an even more mysterious past, and Dean and Ray, two young men running what they call 'the last pizza place in California'. As the Storm rages on stronger by the day, the foursome will have to make a choice: keep hiding under roof after roof, waiting for starvation, or set out to the road and face whatever hides out there, under the Storm.

Dream Theater
Long casted shadows danced in the background, as a man squibbled and jotted words on yellow papers. A mere novelty, remnant and ghost that was left to age away along with the forgotten theater, a man grasped for inspiration to salvage what was left of his soul. Abandoned in the squalid room, Pxan was left hauntedly in the furthest corners of insanity that bubbled in his mind. No one would listen to his plight, denouncing him and claiming his mind was not right. Even though the world left him with nothing, turning their backs to him, he knew the books would never betray him in the same fashion. Faceless pages and books yet to be read ogled puppy eyes, ready to be penned by the madman. “Pxan! Pxan! Over here! To me!” Clamored the unpublished manuscripts. Pxan’s fingers quivered nervously, thoughts of failure flooded his mind. Wanting to surrender to the pressure. “No!” He cried. “I’ve had enough of writing.” Books with eyes all stared at him, begging for the tales to be written. Their pleaful eyes were all that Pxan needed to be moved to writing again. The man sighed and raised his pen again, stroking the first letters of inspiration that bore fruit from his mind. A maddening tale of a policeman, cultists and a violent revenge… -Currently on Hiatus while writing the second volume.The first volume is up. I will take a few days to rewrite a few chapters.
