The Conglomerate part 3 Boston… Alysa poked her head into Labrat’s hospital room. “Hey, Labrat!” Astra Machina and Labrat sat up to greet her. “Hi, Alysa,” Labrat chirped. As Alysa entered the room, she held up a Paw Patrol plushie. “Astra told me you already got Chase, so I made sure to get Marshal.” Labrat happily took the toy, “Thanks!” “I thought you were in … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #15
I want to say that waking up every morning with an erection and never being able to do anything about it is the worst part, but… that’s fucking stupid. I guess when I think about it, every part is the worst part. When I open my eyes and everything is pitch black, that’s the worst part, too. When I’m not sure if I can get … Continue reading The Basement (Part 1): A Short Story
The Conglomerate part 2 A forest in Switzerland… A deer wondered through a grove of trees, its ears twitching in various directions in a constant state of alertness. Letting its guard down for just a moment, it stopped at a stream to get some nourishment. As it craned its neck down to drink, a tendril of energy came from the branches above and wrapped around … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #14
Chapter 20 Most people, when confronted with a sound they could only recognize as explosions, run as far away as possible. Explosions imply destruction, damage, injury, and death; to the layperson, those are four things that are to be avoided at all costs. A person with a semblance of sanity and reason would hear explosions from over a dozen miles away and do everything in … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 20
The Conglomerate part 1 The Ice Box metahuman prison rested within a snowy mountain, far from civilization. Its top floor was exposed to the elements. The remaining five levels were in descending order underground. If any of the super-powered criminals inside managed to escape five levels of heavily armed guards, they would meet many challenges. They would encounter drones as well. Surviving the frozen terrain … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #13
Chapter 19 Chispa waited in silence on the other side of the sitrus bush. She stretched out her front paws and lowered her head and shoulders to the ground as she surveyed her prey, who was helplessly unaware of where she had vanished to. The lowering of her front end was countered by the raising of her hindquarters and tail, both of which wiggled with … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 19
A History Lesson part 5 (finale) Alysa sat on the couch and stared at the TV but wasn’t watching anything in particular. Delroy entered the living room and sighed when he noticed his daughter’s state. “Wanna talk about it?,” he asked as he took a seat. “I never did the research,” Alysa said softly after turning off the television, “I just went off what people … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #40
Chapter 18 Floaroma Town was barely an outskirt of a suburb, a small stopover village nestled in the woods at the bottom of Mount Coronet. In comparison, Celestic Town may well have been a bustling center of trade. But where Celestic was surrounded by perpetual mountain haze, looming pine trees, and a jagged, knife-like terrain that combined to cause Sam to fear for his life … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 18
A History Lesson part 4 King Paul’s temple had no priestess, which was rare but not unheard of, particularly at that time and place. He would often write a priestess in Atlanta who was Iconoclast-adjacent. Queen Magdalene had been trained as a priestess when she was young, but there were no direct followers where she lived and had been hoping to start a temple. Paul … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #39
Chapter 17 Sam, for as displeased as he was to have been back on the sea once again, was at least happy he’d made it through the ferry ride to Canalave without Barry’s Monferno tossing anybody overboard. The ferry had a prominently posted notice asking riders to keep their pokemon contained (“for their own safety and the safety of the rest of our guests”, the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 17
A History lesson part 3 A joke – I once saw a man standing on a bridge, ready to jump and I told that man, “Don’t kill yourself. Life has meaning.” He said, “ My life doesn’t.” I asked him, “Haven’t you found religion?” He said he had and I said, “Me too. Are you a Christian or are you a follower of Iseda?” He … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #38
Chapter 16 Sam was determined to make the trip back to Canalave City as miserable as he could for Carlos. It was not even a small percentage of payback for what Carlos had cost him, but it was the only way Sam could stop himself from putting his own fist through the windshield in frustration. “First of all, I have no idea why you went … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 16
A History Lesson part 2 Alysa came down stairs and sat at the kitchen table and was surprised to see that Delroy had set up breakfast for the two of them. It was only a couple bowls of Cheerios and some coffee, but she appreciated her father putting forth the effort. It reminded her of living with her mother. It was nice to have someone … Continue reading AP Production Winghaven #37
Chapter 15 Of course it had to be Sideburns. His name was apparently, as it turned out, not actually “Sideburns”; it was Carlos. And he had been sitting next to Sam for several hours as they navigated the mountainous route 210. The route was unpleasant enough by itself–much of the road crawled around the exterior of Mount Coronet and was protected with guardrails that looked … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 15
A History Lesson part 1 To the locals, the island was called Ayiti. To the Spanish, it was called Hispaniola. To the French, it was Saint Domingue. To them, it was a memory, a home they last saw while they were loaded on the boat. Queen Obeah Alvit sat in quiet meditation. They normally took the men but as she was a spiritual leader, the … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #36
