“The Journal Chronicles (Excerpts)” by J. A. Greene

It was time for me to face him. He’s been haunting me for too long. AJ and I rode our carriage as far as the horses would comfortably go. After realizing this was our stop, AJ turned to give me his deep concern of the situation. We didn’t say anything to each other but knew what the other was thinking. We could only hope to see each other again, and that this wasn’t the end. Through the thick woods, I managed to find the mangled, spike fence with a metal plated gate. Skulls scattered the façade of the gate. Just like in my dreams. I mana...

“The Journal Chronicles (Excerpts)” by J. A. Greene

Throughout the early days at the Academy, I went through trainer after trainer. I began to get annoyed, not because I knew I was difficult to deal with, but how this prestigious academy couldn’t find anyone adequate to deal with me. I started using it as a badge of honor, challenging and even scaring off many of these trainers. After a series of trainers, they brought in this older man who looked even weaker than the others before him. I did my usual where I lulled him into a sense of control over me, then spontaneously fire hand beams that ...

Do you have an appointment?” The Demon asks. “No. I didn’t know I needed one.” “Everyone needs an appointment.” “Oh! Ok. When would be a good time to talk to him?” “He’s booked up past the next Apocalypse, so it might be a while.” “How long?” “One thousand, two hundred, and eighty-four years.” “That’s when the next Apocalypse is?” “No, that’s when the next avail...

“Image and Likeness” by J. A. Greene

Submitted to Contest #213

“Who are you really?”He stared deeply into the young woman’s eyes.“Who do you think I am?” She responded with her soft, tender voice.“It doesn’t matter to me who I think you are, but it matters to everyone else.”“Why? Why is there opinion more important than yours?”Stephen crinkled his eyes in anger without breaking his sight with her.“Listen, I don’t give a rat’s ass who you are, but you entered into my dominion, and everyone here has a problem with you.”“What problem is that?”Stephen raised an eyebrow at her in disbelief of her reaction. “...

“The Journal Chronicles (Excerpts)” by J. A. Greene

My friends,             In my current waning years, I have found that I am less independent than I would like to be. Not in the physical sense, but that I find myself cold and alone when I am too much to myself. Eliza comes on occasion to help out in at least to make supper. She is a shut-in, much like myself, but in her case, she chose that lifestyle. In any case, any attempts at conversing are brief and few between, so while she is there in person, no real attempt at a deeper co...
