“Pomp and Circumstance (Part 1)” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

(This rewrite happened because people wanted more detail to it. It was changed from first person perspective to third person selective and it advances to a To be continued point)            A strange eclipse occurred about two hundred years ago. Many a religion called it the end of days, but the human race continued and there certainly were no trumpets and certainly no rapture. What did occur was a secret door opened and just about anything th...

“REDIRECTION” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

(Author's note, you will find 2 characters here)As it was back in the days of modern times, a new weapons race kicked off. The world sought to make bigger and better bombs, though it did not mean the actual size, but the damage that the bomb could do. It was in the midst of what one could call World War IV and it was said that it would be the war to end all wars. The people who claimed to be able to predict things had no idea how accurate they were.     &...

“Samhain” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

It was that time of year again and the last harvest of the year was to come in full swing. It was what they celebrated. Halloween was but the commercial side of things. What the holiday really was about was far more than that. So as the world was primarily focused on the candy preparations and the costumes, others were preparing for something else.                Out in the woods and down by the lake, som...

“Kaitlin Reluctant” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

Not everyone who was made into a card carrying member of the undead had a choice in the matter. Sure a lot of books and stories are so romanticized that a girl might think of being changed by a vampire is a romantic thing and authors have a tendency to paint it up that way. I certainly can tell you that it isn’t all cuddly moments in a coffin, especially when you didn’t want to be undead in the first place. I ran off from my master, father, or lover, whatever you want to call him because of many things.&nb...

“Mob Mentality” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

She sat in the cell and her mind drifted back. Perhaps it was her life flashing before her after all; she had mere hours left on her life. Isabella could accept that she was going to die for people being ignorant and fearful.                Isabella was an herbalist of sorts. She knew all sorts of ways that one could combine herbs that were at her mother’s cottage into things that could heal the sick and ...

“A Birthday Party to Remember” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

The years surged by and Sabratina Lyn Ariel Roma grew up. This evening was said to be her fourteenth birthday and was to be a big gala event. In her room, she stood upon a stool in a long skirted flowing dress that was an ice blue in color. It was halter style but a veil like over lay was being sewn onto it as she stood. The skirt was two layered in the one underneath was silver, but the ice blue veil over it made the dominate color seem to be that blue. Her gold hair was restrained on the top of her head so it wa...

“Halloween Coffee Shop” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

Author’s note: I credit my husband Jay for the Barista’s opening line“Welcome to Der Coffin Bait, where the coffee is black as night.” That was what the Barista said as people walked in. It was a small coffee shop adjoining to the seasonal Halloween Spirit Shop so the staff wore costumes. This particular Barista was dressed as a Vampire as the one behind him was dressed as a witch and was mixing something that reeked of maple. Jay stood dumb founded as he looked o...

“Apples, Apples, and Apples Some More” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

(Wren and Eve a year later)Wren and Eve traveled together; it was what they did now days. To conceal herself a bit she dropped her sir name of Solara. They had been a pair for almost a year now; the Sorceress and her protective romantic interest of a Knight.            Eve altered her looks a bit. Her hair was still gold and her skin tanned and her eyes blue. Just now she wore deep purple leggings and a purple halter with a ...

“In the Botanical Moon Garden” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

(Ever wonder what happened to the couple from Into you and When the Lights go out? By all means read on)“By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire.” Anarei smiled over the little forest that she created on a barren chunk of land that her husband had bought. They came here after the fall of their last home and though it took some doing, the Knights Magi bought this land. It took some nurturing on her part magick wise with a few others, but overall it was a very good job done.

“Eden’s Genesis” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

The world of Eden, which is what they called it anyway, was the home world of the race of elemental beings referred to as Entities. There were cities of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Darkness, and Light. They were the six elements and that was what people were used to seeing. However to the realms of Light, they brought forth a creatrix, she was a pretty little thing named Surreality. She had long silvery hair and crystal blue eyes. Her skin was light beige and she was the assistant of Light Ambassado...

“Yet to be” by Amy Hodges-laurenzo

When Death comes for you they say all else doesn’t matter. I was a guardian of some sort but I can’t remember what I was a guardian of. I feel cold and wet, but everything should fade to black one would think and Anubis would come. That was what the old priests teach. Even one stood over me now. I think I should know him, but why can’t I remember. But why is there color? Is this what happens?            &nbsp...
