“My Writing Journey ” by Peyton Gaillard

I have always liked watching movies and shows because I hated reading even to this day. This is ironic because now here I am writing stories that I hope one day become shows and movies. So how did I get into writing and what inspires my stories? Funny enough the answer lies in a church camp of all places. The camp was Blue Lake (or something like that, I forgot) and there was an RPG thing there. One of my friends (who I now consider my best friend) also signed up because he was a huge DND nerd and thought it would be similar to it. So we get...

“Kaymos's Tavern” by Peyton Gaillard

It was another night of people drinking away their misery, hope, and life since the siege was taking everything away from them. The self-proclaimed Emporer Noone had surrounded Kamo City for over five years. Most of the city's inhabitants were tired of the bombardments of spells and projectiles from catapults. Every day, people had to fight off starvation, fires, and disease, and Kaymos was no exception. His tavern was a safe house for his neighbors. He mostly spent his days in the kitchen with his family, trying to feed those who could...

“Trevor's Story (Dice Changers)” by Peyton Gaillard

One wouldn't suspect a dice set to hold any power. However, over the years, certain sets have been rumored to house the souls of those of another world. I was skeptical of such things until a dice set just like that was given to me. See, when I was given that set. I was a DND player and wanted a new set since I saved up money from doing chores. I went to the game. I looked around at the various dice sets. Even contemplating getting a cup full of random dice. Until the manager of the store asked me what I was looking for. I said that I wante...

“King Riter's Life ” by Peyton Gaillard

After 358 years of isolation and surrounded by undead the Lich King Riter was bored and lifeless. Every friend he ever had been long dead. Their bones now only serve as vessels of magic to keep him alive. Memories began fading and tasks like walking required undead servants to carry and steady him. Every 10 or so years, he would leave his black pyramid to see the current events and any progress the nation he called his "hideout" was making. Most of the time it is just another cult in power struggling to unite the country and invade Kamo only...

She never flat-out ignored ME!" said the angry demon his shadowy misty body flowing all around the room as he spoke. Meanwhile, his...
