Scary Clown in a Car Park

There is an old adage that you can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies. This is not something that has ever vibed with Milkman. After all, idiocy attracts idiocy. Just look at politics, for fuck’s sake. A truly great hero would fight dangerous villains, not random people he meets in the street and assumes are actually supervillains despite all evidence to the contrary. As a point of fact, Milkman has spent more time than is possibly healthy wondering why his own personal rogues’ gallery consists of a single deranged performance artist, the former special adviser to Boris Johnson and his own social worker; yet not for one second entertaining the idea that, as the common denominator, he could be the problem. The story that follows illustrates this. For it was in The Year After The Year After The Year of The Three Prime Ministers that Milkman found himself locked in a multi-storey car park, armed with nothing but his wits, while facing a terrifying hoard of weirdness.

A Little Bit Of Everything Part Nine

 “Good. I’ve always wanted a nice thick coat like that.” I thought about it for a moment “Do you think it’ll still smell like the bear?” Greyson nodded “I had one once.” He frowned “It cost me a moose I shot and the coat itself. Lesson learned: bears don’t like other bears very much.” I laughed “I will remember that.” A moan came from the back of the cave where Daemon had slept and the strong scent of dog wafted towards the mouth of the cave. Two beady eyes stared at Greyson and I, reflecting the almost set sun. A growl replaced the moan as Daemon stepped out of

CHILDREN OF RA - Part 5

"Twelve." The word escapes my mouth. It hurst to see her as she is right now. I remember when we first got to the facility. The sweet little girl with two pony tails and huge eyes, blue like the sky. "Hi." Such a tender little voice. She was the first one to say it. I was too shy, sitting by myself in a table at the corner of the cafeteria. "H-hello," I said tentatively looking at the plate of chicken tenders in front of me. "I'm Twelve. You?" She said, sitting next to me. "Two." I was unsure if I liked her sitting next to me. I averted my eyes in the opposite direction than the one she was sitting. "Heya," said a boy with darker skin than

Dragon Age: The Ferelden Chronicles (17)

Chapter Seventeen “Ahh, look how they moan and wail and gnash their teeth. 'Tis sad to watch how helplessly they scurry about.” Morrigan's assessment of the situation wasn't far off. The town of Lothering might have once been a nice little hamlet, but whatever charm it possessed had been lost to the effects of the coming Blight. Dozens of people milled around outside the gates, begging a small group of templars for help. Entire families huddled together under shelters made from their own clothing strewn across rope lines, while stragglers milled about alone or in small groups wherever they could find a place. Where once there wo

Dancing In The Desert: Chap. 1

Dancing In The Desert Chapter 1: Lillith was silent, unmoving, tears still trickling down her pale cheeks as she gazed at the lifeless body before her. "What is it? What's going on?" came a voice, as Arrow pushed his way through the fray to stand by Logan's side. All his breath came out in a whoosh as his eyes fell immediately upon the blood-spattered form of Kael and the three crouched around it. He recognized them instantly, and swore quietly under his breath. "Arrow," said Logan wisely, before he could make any kind of stupid comment. "Take Tomo and George and go after Luska. Take him to a holding cell so we can question him later." Ar

Danika Chapter39

Suddenly, the world came into view. Danika was shaking her repeatedly back and forth; screaming her name. Danika stopped when Kattie made eye contact with her. "What happened?" Danika shouted. "Flashback," Kattie said softly. "Yeah? What did you see?" "Some man took me…operated on me…made me what I am." "What? Why would he do that?" "He said he would give me a new life. That he wanted to help." Kattie paused for a moment and then continued. "He erased my memories. He tried to make me forget everything. Some how it seems it didn't work. Perhaps, the memory was, by some means, saved on the chip he inserted before he tried to er

Prologue

We live in a world untouched by others. Magic veils protect our fragile, unseen, world from those who wish to seek it. We call ourselves the gatewayway world. We are the anchor; release it, and the sea is yours. If our world were to be discovered, many others would suffer. Our people work hard to ensure our safety and that of neighboring worlds. Strict rules have been applied and we follow them religiously. The Council oversees all matters. Political involvement is extremely important to us. We take great pride in it. It is this pride which may have blinded us. We thought our world to be unbreachable. We we wrong...

Hybrid 3, Chapter 10: Hope Comes

Chapter 10: Hope Comes     Alexander’s men and David’s Casters left the city as they headed up the mountains. Alexander guided David to the mountain where the relay was. They rode on the carriages and looked out as they were hovering through the meadow of giant sunflowers. These kinds of flowers must have grown after Alexander’s men went down the valley the first time. They followed the river that went up the valley.     Aoife, Howie, and Yuya checked and loaded their weapons on top of their carriage. Alpha hovered next to Alexander as he sat next to David at the lead carriage. The Casters kept their

Innocence, Chapter 3: Anguish

Oh that stench! It was unbearable! The foul smell of filth and uncleanliness was thick in the air, and Eadric could almost feel it stick to his exposed skin, as he sat curled up in the corner of the narrow corridor. His young, slender arms lay wrapped around his curled-up legs, as his soft eyes darted around the room. The narrow corridor was lit up by a single lantern that spread its dim light across the tattered walls and worn carpets on the floor. Eerie shadows reveled in this filthy place, and consumed the corners and crannies, including the one Eadric had curled up in. His eyes fell upon the floor on which he sat, and saw all the syringes

Letters to Marileen | 9 ~ Understanding

        All of the city was painted a deep orange as the sun began to set. Vilkas was making his way home, a wad of money from his illicit dealings hidden expertly under several layers of clothes. He tensed, covering himself with his fraying flannel shirt whenever he passed by someone else, attempting to walk through back streets and avoid as many people as he could. A few times, he spotted a police car and his tail instinctively took up residence between his legs as he tried to evade it.        It’s not even like anyone would know where he got the money, but Vilkas couldn’t help but feel like he’d somehow get into trouble

And past these lands a seemingly endless set of water and at the edge of the water is where the sun rose.

He starred down at the new lands until the sun was high in the sky crossing over him then he leaped off the mountain peak. He landed on top of the snow and began sliding down it at great speeds.
