“A Dragon's Dilemma” by Brandon Tucker

Submitted to Contest #217

Would this really solve anything? A near endless war, could I really end it here? His intelligence surprises me, keeping up with my flurry of questions effortlessly. This ancient being, one so powerful and yet, almost childish. Questions of my youth, my upbringing, how I eat, shit, fuck, you name it. I’ve asked this godlike entity the questions of the universe, and he turns to me and asks of how it feels to urinate with an appendage. Feels pretty cool, honestly, but for a being so intimidating it’s almost as if I could see myself being frien...

“The Voice of Many” by Brandon Tucker

Submitted to Contest #190

“Speak now.”  The antechamber echoed with a brass tone; chimes strewn across the floor still held their tune. Wiry hands now found their way to the boy beneath them.  “You have been given an order boy, speak now.”  “You would have me speak for what? You have heard my voice and seen what it can do.”  The hands gained weight, pushing painfully now into the boy’s shoulders.
