Submitted to Contest #263

A mysterious figure watches from the brick building across the street, observing with an unnatural interest in this magical quarrel. Across from the train station parking lot, a chaotic scene of storefront fires rages on as damaged cars sit idly scattered, twisted, and bent beyond proportions along the cobblestone steps of old town Biloxi; now, New Coast City. Iron Jaguar faces off against danger from the deepest chasms of the Gulf of Mexico. BOOM! “The airbreathers will feel the sting of the sea for their crimes against the king...

The door to the tavern bursts open. BOOM! Every manner of creature and human or half-breed alike fixated on the source. My name is Ushor, and my life will never be the same. "Have you seen him?" says an upset young nixie. Oh, she was beautiful. I'd never seen someone so elegantly concerned as if the world was going to end yet not look like hell froze over. Of course, I'd never seen a nixie either on account that they kept to themselves and rarely were ever seen in towns or villages. Nixies weren't a favorable term but a slur for t...

“The Dispeller” by Michael Williams

"Thanks a lot, Ridix. You have brought us where we need to be," says a dark armored rider atop a wet and glorious dark stead of the night. The horse tramples forward shattering mud in its wake. The rolling thunder echoes through the misty clouds. Lighting cracks and roars illuminate the sky against the dark and dank hallows of the baron forest.

Submitted to Contest #66

The landscape fills with travelers far and wide down the longest gravel path the Welsh lands have to travel. Bearded men on horseback pulling carts of treasures from countries unknown. Women in colorful tunics in hoods, scarfs, no hoods, and fancy hair fashioned in odd shapes carry baskets of fruits the Welsh soils do not bear naturally. Children in odd hats disobeying parents traveling to new homes. All this and more the two silent knights clad in spectacular armaments. Cloaks bearing the sigil of the Arthurian Court of Pendragon woven in ...

Author bio

Hello, fellow mind-benders. I'm a Screenwriter and Short-film director. I've been writing stories since I was 14. I grew up consuming comics, video games, and movies (television too). When I'm not researching or contributing to the Bam Smack Pow on Fansided.com, I'm writing short stories, poems, and short films. I love to write comedy, realism, fantasy, supernatural/horror, drama, and historical fiction. I am really good at mixing up the genres. I love being part of a writer's community where they commit to collaboration and negative free space for us to be creatives. I would happy to connect with anyone interested in writing, chatting about interest, or if you need services like Developmental Editing, Adaptation from novel to screenplay or Character/World building let me know. How to connect with me ... COMING SOON! Until then ... ENJOY THE STORIES!
