“The Devil and I” by Kang Lee

Submitted to Contest #215

Torrential rain screamed down upon the beach. Lightning flashed, briefly illuminating the black clouds before flickering off again. Sharp blows of wind blasted by, swirling into massive sandstorms above the inky-black water. Crows flew around, which I could barely make out from the dark sky. “Are you sure this is the right place?” the frenzied taxi driver asked, trying his best to maneuver the car on the disinteg...

“The Academy of Erebos” by Kang Lee

Submitted to Contest #198

I stood gawking at the palace that defiantly stood amidst the swirling snowstorm. Barren, naked trees flanked the palace on all sides, creating a radial pattern that spiralled outwards towards the property wall. A lone dirt path pierced through the middle of the forest, meandering from the front gates to the foreboding palace. The Academy of Erebos was renowned for transforming juvenile drug traffickers into gr...

Notice: this serves as a sequel to "The Dark Dancer", available on my profile The frigid bonds remained adamant in locking my hands and feet together, while the grimy window filtered in decaying grey light. Bats scurried about the mouldy ceiling. All the while, the iridescent black rune Laqueum–trap–burned tauntingly in the air in front of me. In summation, it was not a great ex...

“Look Closer” by Kang Lee

Submitted to Contest #186

Being drenched on a warm, summer afternoon is bad enough, but being soaked to the bones on a frigid winter evening is downright repugnant. It had happened on my way home from work at the law-enforcement building when a rude dark-haired child hidden in the bare bushes had sprayed me for no good reason. “Hey!” I exclaimed, but the child vanished into thin air. In the place where I last saw him was a piece of tang...

“Climax Street” by Kang Lee

Submitted to Contest #179

“Again!” Mr. Nox snarled. “Colvin, a corpse could shoot better than that!”For the twenty-first time that day, I had missed my target by a matter of twenty metres. The lightbulb I had shattered had landed upon the mountain of ceiling tiles that I had amassed on the floor. My heart was racing at light speed and the room was a vibrating blur of colours, yet I steadied my hands and fired the slender, black gun. The bullet ricochetted off of the back door, before embedding itself onto the far wall, a full ten met...

“Are you sure this is the right place, Dresvale?” Jane demanded, casting a wary eye at the decaying tangle of vines. “You have to see beyond what your eyes are telling you,” I confirmed, and snapped my fingers. “Ostendere!” A cobalt rune burned in the air in front of me, and a shockwave radiated outwards. The greenery flickered, before vanishing. In its place was a monumental castle constructed...
