“A Few Bloody Ankles” by Sean Sorce

'The next town is gonna be up ahead within a mile or so,' I said this to myself as I looked at the map I was given. I have been in this bamboo forest for a few hours now and I was getting rather restless. With my katana by my hip and wooden sandals among my sore feet, I have been walking this blasted bamboo forest for far too long. Sure, it was nice and peaceful for a good hour but a good hour or so, I was already looking forward to the next town.    Master is already waiting there for me to see if I pass the te...

“The Scrawny Boy” by Sean Sorce

   "Trevor, you don't want to be late for school," called my mother as I finally turned off the TV after watching an episode of Digimon. I headed to the front door where she was standing and grabbed my school bag on the way which was placed on a hook in the hallway. Mute was there at the bottom of the steps just watching me. I stuck out my tongue but the dang cat process to just lick it's paw as if ignoring me anyway. As I walked towards my mother, she gave me a big smile as she holds my bag lunch full of snacks. <...

“The Abandoned Wagon” by Sean Sorce

   'Vesbrilos hasn't been the same as it used to be. Everything is changing and it's all thanks to the power hungry William Metrarchy,' I said this all to myself as my horsagon Scaleshoe and I left the town where I asked for a simple glass of water. Everything would have been peachy of it won't for the fact that some random orc starting shit. He should have kept his mouth shut. Yet I'm the one who could have walked away. Thanks to my stubbornness and anger, I started a brawl. I obviously won it all thanks to my m...

“Best Bros Forever” by Sean Sorce

   'Oh, how much I love hearing Christmas music the day after Halloween," I said to myself sarcastically in my mind. I mean, come on, it's not even Thanksgiving but the radio is already playing that type of music this early. Frank didn't mind for he was in the Christmas spirit already. Once he found that station with early access to Christmas music, he cranked up the volume as Mariah Carey's "Christmas! Baby Please Come Back!" blasted into our ears.    Don't get me wrong: I love Mariah Carey but I...

“If I Was Your Man” by Sean Sorce

   'Man, if only I told Valerie how I felt back then,' I said all to myself as I lifted some weights. Only 50 pound dumbbells for those wondering. I tried not too think as much when lifting anything heavier than that. Right now, I was currently warming up.   I had just bumped into Valerie not too long ago. She was here wanting to become a new member at my regular gym that I go to for my bodybuilding training. We just had a simple good conversation that lasted for a good five minutes. It felt good ...

“The Catwalk” by Sean Sorce

'This cat is extremely annoying. It's really to on my nerves,' I said to myself as I approached where Mute normally has been waiting for me in front of my school for the seventh time. Guess my mom left the door open again. So much for my parents wanting an indoor cat. Mute always find a way out anyway knowing him even if we do happen to close the door or not. My classmates and other kids surround him giv...

“Lost Track of Time ” by Sean Sorce

I look into the high tech device and check on the time. It was 10 o'clock in the morning if anyone gives a damn. For me however I was literally astounded about the phenomenon that I even was getting rather emotional. This was a time machine I have in my possession. I was lost of words where anyone would even with their scientific professional. What I thought was just any regular old Rolex watch turned out to be a getaway of time itself. 'I wonder how far I can go,' I ...

“The Slumber of Change” by Sean Sorce

After a long, exhausted day, I finally laid upon my single bed to get some sleep. I grabbed my iPhone as I looked upon the random posts from Facebook and Instagram. You must be thinking to yourself: you'll never get any sleep if you keep doing thay. Well, let me tell you something: I always managed. Eventually after a good thirty minutes of entertaining myself, I grew bored and sleepy. My eyes were given way and I was yawning every so often. I finally put my phone into the charger and rest my eyes for the evening.As I slumbered the...

“No Bumps, Pal” by Sean Sorce

'Man, I could use a glass of water about now,' I said to myself in thought as I slowly rode into town. The town was just as bad it was out there in heat. There has been a drought throughout the country of Vesbrilos since I could remember. Vesbrilos has been struggling with water supply for the past few decades and this town is suffering as much as the next. I can't recall how many towns I've been to for money was as scarce as finding some water in these troubled times. Vesbrilos used to have l...

“Blame It On The Rain” by Sean Sorce

"I don't want to hear it, Frank! I just want to go home now," I said as we left Qanilla's parlor and I walked ahead of Frank. I was just told that I would be lonely forever so clearly I wasn't in a good mood right now for anything of the sort."But Nigel, it's just a fortune," said Frank still trying to reassure me. "It's only by chance that you would remain alone. Don't take it too much at heart. The future will always change.""Yes," I replied frustratingly. "But it doesn't help that I already feel alon...
