《Flower Girl》Seventeen

“Do tell me, girl”—the lemur cleared his throat—“why you have come back here, if you loved him so much?”
“It didn’t go well,” Poire muttered as whatever remained from her head of wilted petals disappeared between the crook of her elbows. “He wasn’t what he had seemed to be,” she said.
“But neither are you, girl,” the lemur said as he sunk a little deeper into the sand.
She sighed. “I know. I know I’m not,” she told him, “but I don’t tell big lies to anyone.”
“You mean to say he lied to you?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” she cried. “Why in the world would I have returned if everything was just?”
“Oh.” The lemur rubbed his paws together and cackled. “I believe it is because everything is right that you have made it back.”
Poire scoffed. “Care to explain how that makes any sense at all, Mister Lemur?” Her shoulders trembled. Her voice was weak. “And what is that horrible clicking noise?” she asked him.
The lemur bared his teeth and walked circles around her. “You know the answer to that better than anyone else,” he said.
“But how can I be at the police station and here at the same time?” she asked as she rose to her feet once more and looked around. The sky had turned a disgusting shade of garbage-green. The ground was red, and the two goldfish she had previously killed swam around in circles in front of her, in the middle of the ocean. They were the size of whales, and their googly eyes stared into a void Poire could relate to. The water was dark. She could not see the end nor the beginning of it. She gasped. “What happened to this place?”

The lemur climbed up her shoulder. “You forgot about us,” he said as he pointed out to sea. “It is what happens when we are abandoned.”
“I’m sorry,” Poire said. “I’m sorry,” she echoed. “I never meant for any of this to happen.”
Poire’s sister wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
The lemur disappeared.
The lights hung above them were blinding.
“It’s okay,” Annabelle said. “You didn’t know. I should have been more careful.”
An officer walked into the station’s waiting room. “Annabelle? Poire?” he asked. “We have some news about the Marnon boy. Care to follow me so that we may discuss it in private?”

As the Godking Wills
The Empire and the Church span almost the entirety of the known world, absent some pockets of lawlessness and the realms of the deceiver. They are governed as a despotic theocracy, ruled in name by the solitary and omnipotent God, Al'Shazan.In practice, Al'Shazan is bored, flighty, cruel and has little interest in ruling the Empire. Instead the Empire is run by the High Priest, Minister of the Treasury, and the Knight Commander of the inquisition. Their job is to make sense of the contradictory nonsense spewed forth by their living God while simultaneously ruling the greatest nation that the world has ever known. The entire time, they have to maintian the facade that Al'Shazan is a benevolent and loving God in order to maintain morale in the general populace. --------- The actual genre for this is more along the lines of a Fantasy Political Comedy/Drama/Thriller. It will not be 'crunchy' (minimal action, minimal descriptions of powers/abilities) but instead be focusing on world building and political maneuvering. As a warning, it is fairly dark.

An Extra-Ordinary Story about Ordinary People
In a different world, a different reality, where ordinary people occasionaly have extra-ordinary powers for no particular reason, we follow a number of characters, trying their best to live in this strange yet normal world. We have our first character, a currently nameless but sentinent creature who happened to find himself in the body of a strange fungus after an unknown incident that robbed him of not only his former body but of his memory, as well. Secondly, we follow Smith, a high-standing man who doesn't even need to explain which Smith he is, on top of the world, yet human enough to meet said fungus. And thirdly, we have another nameless character, who is burdened by the ability to summon things that he doesn't want. A charming gang, who will (most likely) meet at some point. --- All and all, it's a twist on the common super-hero world, where all super-heroes have somehow dissappeared, but not the possibility for new ones. The series that feature the mushroom-dude are the 123 ones, the stories that feature Smith are the ABC ones, and the ones that feature our newest character, the summoner-dude, are the abc ones. Neat, huh? Also, just a word of warning? The 123 ones are kind wierd, and you can skip the first few chapters and go straight to the ABC ones without missing too much. But I'd rather you didn't, since i really enjoyed writing them. In ABC and abc, the format changes to a more typical form, with proper grammar and stuff. So if you dont like the 123, I'd love it if you gave the ABC a chance :^) Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it!
