“Urban Fantasy” by Sᴇᴀ Ғᴇʟɪᴢ

Tags: #no real plot #based on a true story #pathetic, sorry_It was a dark and stormy night. Like honestly... it was. And if that particular setting was originally employed in fiction on account of its atmospheric weight, I can tell you, it really lived up to that reputation.I had just knocked off work. I'm employed part time as an accountant and I had finished up my day at the office with tears on my face which I never let my fellow employees see, of course. I might be an emotional piece of trash but I've g...

Perhaps their world was just a little more… creative than ours. Perhaps there were less boundaries in their world. Perhaps there was a spiritual realm of a different kind there.

“Did you know–”‘Why do all his sentences have to start with ‘did you know’?’ Mrs. Miller wondered.“Did you know there’s a part of your brain that means you can lie?”Mrs. Miller had just been passing through her lounge room when her son had stopped her to ask this. She had a pile of folded washing in her arms and she looked down at him, sitting in her armchair in front of the television, looking up at her with marked eagerness. The TV was playing some sort of scientific documentary; no surprise to her. She s...

He was the one working missions for the government that were all kinds of grey. He was the one that didn’t have a friend on board 90% of the time to back him up in a fight. And yet, it turned out that the one thing that made him most afraid was receiving a letter from home.Dearest Durie,We miss you already. I didn’t anticipate how lonely I would feel with you gon...

“Dad!” A little voice called from deep in some crevice of one of the Bercan family’s rooms. The call was followed by a drawn out wail, which gathered intensity until it could sustain itself no longer and it came crashing down flights of octaves to end in an exaggerated sob. Durie Bercan, the father being called for, left his desk and hurried down the dark hallway, trying not to trip over toys and towels on the way...
