《Cecil Bee's Flash Fiction》Dead Tired
Advertisement
At the top of the stairs. Down the hall. Through the last door. Dark wood against deep blues. Mr. Suiter sits in his office, a letter in front of him. His eyes glace over the words, but do not read. He rereads it.
To Kile Suiter,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss...
It continues; he does not continue. He removed the revolver from the desk drawer. Put one bullet inside. Click. Spin. He rests the end on his temple.
Knock Knock
...a moment...
Mr. Suiter: “Yes.”
Butler [through the door]: “Sir, a package has come.”
Mr. Suiter: “From.”
Butler: “Amazonica.”
Mr. Suiter: “What’s inside.”
Butler: “I do not know.”
Mr. Suiter places the revolver on the desk.
Mr. Suiter: “Why don’t you open it.”
Butler: “It is not appropriate.”
Mr. Suiter: “I’m telling you it is appropriate. Open the package.”
Butler: “Should I continue this in the future.”
Mr. Suiter: “Open the damn thing!” The rustling of the package.
Butler: “It is your new fuzzy pajamas.”
Mr. Suiter: “Place them at the door. I’ll take care of them later.”
Butler: “Not in your wardrobe?” Mr. Suiter thinks.
Mr. Suiter: “Yes.”
Butler: “Yes, I should put them at your door or yes, in your wardrobe.”
Mr. Suiter: “Yes, in my wardrobe.”
Butler: “Very well, Sir.” Mr. Suiter hears the clicking of the butlers receding footsteps.
Mr. Suiter Picks up the revolver again and places it against his temple. One second. Two Second. THREE SECOND.
Mr. Suiter [to himself]: “Damn it, now I’m out of it.”

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
