《Modded Reality》Chapter 10 - Totemic
Advertisement
Wilton chops down another tree and cuts up hefty sections of it. He drags back one of the sections of the log. He sets it up near his burrow and begins to carve. He forms the base of a totem and begins to whittle away at the top. He carves the head of a frog, the head of a boar, and on top, he carves the head of a goose.
The halfling looked upon his totem with some pride.
He uses the rest of the wood from the chopped-down tree to create shelves and cupboards. He places those in the burrow. Wilton starts to pace around his burrow wondering if he should put up walls and make rooms.
He walks outside, looks at the setting sun, and considers what to spend his time doing as the day comes to a close.
Looking over at his drying rack he takes note of the bit of leather he has. He’s definitely going to need more which means tracking the deer he had seen at the lake earlier. He crafts a second spear and a tomahawk balanced for throwing.
If he travels out further he will need a means of protecting himself too. If only he had more leather to use now. He would make leather armor to cover himself with. For now, he can craft a wooden shield. He does so by carefully carving out the shield from the side of a rounded log. He can fasten a leather cord to it with the nice tanned leather.
Wilton goes out to the leather and examines it. The light is quickly fading, but the leather looks tanned. He takes the boar hide and the bladder into his hovel. With his flint blade, he slices off a strip of the leather. He takes that and fastens it to the shield.

He contemplates how to use the bladder. The neck of the bladder would obviously be the best place to put liquids in and get liquids out. But there was where the ureter connects to the bladder. Wilton contemplates this before popping one of the boar's rib bones into his hand.
He sets the bone down and pops a rock out of his inventory. With it, he smashes the bone. The halfling picks up two small bone shards with a very sharp end to them. He then drills a hole into the end of one bone shard creating a needle. He cackles at his strange ingenuity.
Wilton uses plant twine to sew up the end of the bladder. He sews as tightly and closely together as he can creating a small piece of overlap in the hide. Hopefully, it will be waterproof. He will have to test it tomorrow.

Superworld
Matt Callaghan is in trouble. In a world where everyone has superpowers, he's got squat, and has spent the last five years faking being clairvoyant just to avoid getting caught. Unfortunately, Matt's lies have started to catch up to him, and when a desperate bluff backfires he'll need every ounce of cunning, conning and juvenile delinquency to stay undetected and alive. Jane Walker is trouble. In a world where everyone is powerful, Jane stands alone and apart, hated for her ability to copy abilities and atrocities far beyond her control. But fate is a fickle friend, and a chance encounter soon finds Jane hurtling towards her lifelong dream - or prejudice, humiliation and a violent, painful death. Unbeknownst to them, Matt and Jane’s paths are inextricably intertwined, and as each struggles to find their place an unseen force will draw them ever forward – closer and closer to a secret whose existence threatens not just their lives, but the fate of the entire world. A loving homage to and twist on the superhero genre, Superworld is a fun, subversive story about identity, empathy, connection and courage which has been called “very entertaining and creative” and “an absolute pleasure” by readers, and "completely unreadable" by the author's blind grandfather.

But when Megan decides to help out with Abigail’s love life, Abigail finds herself trapped on a date with a ridiculously sexy man who accidentally lets slip that some of the things Abigail has “made up” are true – and that the rest of the truth is stranger than her fiction. Suddenly thrown into a world that has turned out to be crazier than she is, Abigail is going to have to learn to cope with werewolves, vampires, faeries, and being passionately kissed – and she’s going to have to learn fast, because there is a shadow war that has been roiling through the background of history, and she’s just come to the attention of all the players.

That's a really good question, isn't it? Author's Note: Each chapter is about 300 words, so that's the reason for the short story tag even though this will be a (somewhat) ongoing series. Expect an update twice a week on Tue/Wed and on Fri/Sat. No set time, but likely afternoon or evening.
