《A Bit of Everything》How the Mighty Have Fallen
Advertisement
I remember when I first met my owners. I was new back then, a sleek red leather couch. When they saw me, they immediately said “that one”. They bought me and, with much pushing and shoving, got me through the door to their house.
My owners loved me. They used me every morning as they read the news. They used me every evening as they watched TV. I was their favorite furniture piece, the pride of the house. I was happy.
Then, IT came. IT was brown and furry. My owners said IT was cute, although I disagree. They let IT out of ITs cage, and IT walked around the house. IT saw me. It sniffed me. And then IT peed on me.
How could IT dare do that to me, the throne of my owners’ palace? Surely, IT would get kicked out, or at least severely punished. My owners would never let such an atrocity have no consequences. I’m the crown jewel! The other appliances are quartz to my ruby!
My owners stared in shock. IT’s moment of reckoning was at hand, I thought. They opened their mouths, as if to yell. And then, suddenly, they laughed. They found my humiliation amusing!
My owners cleaned me up, but as soon as they left the room, IT peed on me again! The sheer audacity of this walking carpet! This time, it was several hours before they noticed, and by then, I had been stained. Oh, the shame! That someone as beautiful as me could be stained boggles my mind! I would punch IT, except I have no arms. There’s nothing I can do but accept my fate with what little dignity I have left. At least it’s over, I thought.
I was wrong. I was peed on again, and it took even longer before I was noticed. I had accumulated another stain.

This dreadful cycle continued, leaving me more repulsive every run. By the end of it, my glorious leather cushions were stained orange and smelled. I had stopped getting washed three pees ago. I was, in short, a disgrace.
Oh, woe upon me! I was the loveliest of them all, and now I’m the ugliest. I was the most loved of the furniture pieces, and now I’m a pauper, begging to be used. I’m the laughingstock of the house.
My owners don’t use me anymore. They read the newspaper in their hard wooden chairs and watch TV in their lumpy bed. They deserve better! I deserve better!
Still, I suppose this isn’t IT’s fault. If my owners keep IT, I suppose they must have their reasons. They want a dog more than they want a clean couch. It’s not his fault for being a dog.
Why hello there, Bartholomeow! I want you to know that I forgive you for peeing on me. I hope we can get along better and-what are you doing? No! Don’t come any closer! No! Stop peeing on me!

The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.

The Book of Rune
If you like moderately well-researched semi-medieval military logistics with some fantasy twists, and also conspiracy, and exploration, and violence, and maybe a dash of road movie, hey, Ruen just might be your thing. Plot-wise, basically there's a guy who got fired by Death, a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and a slave general who wouldn't mind retiring but ended up on a mass suicide mission. If you were looking for a less TL;DR version, a guy who got fired by Death meets a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and they try to get the guy un-fired while also trying to come to terms with death together (ooohhhh, look, I'm deep). Meanwhile a slave general does something stupid and ends up being sent on a suicide mission, and he tries to wreak havoc and save lives at the same time. The threads come together, I swear. This is a rough draft of a fantasy semi-book that I've had in the back of my head for some time. I've written a variety of short stories set in the world over the past three years, and I finally kicked myself into writing the actual story. Very much a slow work in progress. Occasional violence (okay, well, maybe more than occasional), occasional foul language.
