Third time's a charm he thought. Closing his eyes he jumped.

I liked that WyrvenGuard. Kind of hard not to keep reading just to find out what he jumped into or out of.

So her blood is uniquely magical and the warlord wants to turn it into an addictive sparkling cider? Man, should that be making me thirsty?

Something I tossed around for a friend writing a zombie apocalypse story.

Mil hated cleaning up mess in the morning. Apparently, don't know if you've heard, but dead cats float.

Beware the Lady In Red,
Who invites you to her bed,
Remember - with the company you keep -
A kiss from a whore and you're asleep.

"I slit the bugger's throat and emptied his pockets! ...Wassat? ...Wasn't Thomas...?"
"It was a woman, for starters. Thomas didn't tend to be a woman."

From the grass, the bodies wayned like dieing flowers. She felt every one of their souls struggling inside of her. Not one of them screamed.

Awesome thread, I love everybody's!

"There's got to be more to marriage than polishing her shoes," thought Ferdinand Marcos. "I wonder, would she let me wear them?"

Ha! That's a good one WindowBar.

I second that motion l--brillant WB!

I saw Cloud snorkellers in the sky. Their needle claws etched glorious art that fell on my face as rain.

A million gold to the one that makes the King laugh.
A dog and pack of chewing gum later, and I'm a rich man.

"One missisipy, two missisippee, three missazppy..."
"It's Miss-iss-ipp-ee," she corrected.
You have to love a woman that can correct typos in your speech.

Ten characters make a valid post, apparently.

Ok Hoodwink, I want the story. I just have to know about a world with Cloud snorkellers!

“Simplicity is a virtue. But alas, how simple can it be to split one’s head open with an axe?” announced the weapons trainer.

"It's really quite simple," he said. "Let me explain." --That's how the fifth level of hell begins.

He announced his intention to become a writer. I couldn't believe it, Henry, who could misspell "the" with the spell checker on.

Just a little literal doodling.

Rozinante dude that's chilling.

Here's the opener to a novel I finished writing a while ago.

I never thought I would miss the incessant noise of humanity: crying children, droning newscasters, excited pitchmen, and politicians pining for votes. I was wrong.

Here's the first three lines to another novel I'm working on.

My left hand is coated with magical ink.

Why did you do this and what is magical ink?

Those are some good questions.

Here's my shot:

Laurel was nude, standing in the mud, bronze breasts glistening under the heavenly amethyst light. Quick fact: She was going to die very soon.

Good stuff, Moose. You wrote a novel? That is cool! What is it about?
