Anyone can be King (Part VI)

Shreith had finished speaking - she seemed to be waiting for me to say something. "So is this your starship?" was the first thing that popped into my head. "Yes, we are standing on the bridge of the starship right now. The walls of this cave are all screens from which we could see what was outside,... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyone can be King (Part V)

"How can this be real - its an empty cavern with glowing walls." I said. Shreith was silent for a few moments, gathering her thoughts."This is going to be a little difficult to explain, but I'm going to try", she finally said. "I am not from here", she began. "What does that mean?" I asked "That... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyone can be King (Part IV)

The sun was setting as I crested a hill and looked down at the desolation of the Southern Plains. It was barren - not a blade of grass grew anywhere. I urged my skinny nag forward with a nudge in the ribs - anything harder and she'd probably collapse and expire right there. The setting sun lit up... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyone can be King (Part III)

If it had happened when I was in my usual state of half-drunkenness, I would probably have assumed it was a hallucination. But two pints of ale was barely enough to get my throat moist, and I was standing outside the inn in broad daylight, so my companion from last night sitting there in a creaky...

Anyone can be King (Part II)

"It's just a coincidence" I told myself. The king could have died at any time, he just happened to die last night. "Its nothing to do with me, I have nothing to do with this place - I'm just passing through". I had been 'just passing through' for several years now. Ever since my beloved Shreith had...

Anyone can be King (Part I)

The old man took a deep drag on his pipe and looked straight into my eyes. "And so, you see," he said, "anyone can be king." I was half drunk, otherwise I would never have indulged him further. "Anyone? Even I?" "Even you," he paused to take a look at me and he looked a little doubtful but repeated,... Sign in to see full entry.

Castaway

Touch, or feeling, is the first sensation. Itchiness, like a day spent at the beach and coming home with sand all over you, in your clothes, under your toenails... but that's not all - parts of me feel cool and moist - like lying in a swimming pool or the sea. Some bits are dry and hot, some bits... Sign in to see full entry.

Night in Shining Armor

Prince Ulsor sighed and petulantly kicked a table leg. “I’m bored,” he complained for the umpteenth time. Stout, loyal Boracks nodded his head sympathetically, “I know, Your Highness,” he replied. “You are a prince, we cannot let you go out adventuring on your own. Tell us what needs to be done and...
