Men Who Do Not Burn
Men Who Do Not Burn By Amanda Orive. “He was born of fire, their home set aflame one night by an enemy. The panic sent his mother into labor two months too soon. Her midwife, a trusted ally, tried to get her out, but it was too late…” The old woman stirred the soup on the stove. “She was crowning, moving into labor fast, too fast. They found a closet further from the bulk of the flames, and settled. Most of the fair woman’s clothing had been burnt off; there was no difficulty in moving what was left to help with the child.”

The Red Rats
The Red Rats By Amanda Orive. I believe in Satan. That is to say, I believe that he exists. Yes, that is an outdated perspective belonging to the generations of old that looked at the stars in the sky and said, “What a marvel! There must be a God!” (And of course, that thought naturally led to His perfect opposite). However, heed my words well: I know not whether there ever was a God, but I know that True Evil exists, for I have witnessed it firsthand. And yes, I have perpetuated it, too.

Zombie Life
Have you ever filled a hollow bone with peanut butter and given it to a dog? A dog would show no restraint towards a treat like that. However, if you fill the same hollow bone with some tuna, a cat will take caution before enjoying this treat, at least in my world. The world of the undead!

A Christmas Wish
Joey held his mother’s hand, even though she didn’t move. She didn’t open her eyes, didn’t make a sound except for the hiss of the machine that helped her breathe. He knew his time with her was almost over for the night, because his daddy didn’t want him to be scared. He didn’t know that Joey was always scared when he came to the hospital to see his mother. He was scared of the machines that beeped and blinked, and he was scared of the mean looking nurses who tried to be friendly but never smiled. He was scared every time he walked into his mother’s room and saw her lying on the bed with a tube sticking out of her mouth and her eyes taped shut. He knew it was his mother, and he knew it was the person who used to read him stories before bedtime and push him on the swings and fix peanut butter and banana sandwiches for him. But sometimes it didn’t seem like her. The person on the bed just seemed like a stranger he’d never known before.

Payne of the Bite (Pt. 8)
"The underground facility could not withstand the incident at hand, because the physical display was merely a test of strength." The higher-ups in charge wanted to thoroughly dissect the losing combatant. The higher-ups are faced with the challenge of recreating what is now known as the "Manhunt Purge" after collecting the specimens from an underground facility. The force behind the magical sword made evil aware of its presence now that it was in Mr. Wick's possession. For the skilled assassin, the ideal strategy for stopping those responsible for the outbreak had begun to form. However, before the outbreak could end, the combat of the world's deadliest fighters dating back to 1494 would allow full closure to the testing the higher-ups projected to create again.“

A Race with Mortality
A RACE WITH MORTALITY by Wilson Jackson At the sound of the gun, Robert Young was off and running. The two-time Olympic gold medalist track and field star had turned professional at the age of 25. He joked with friends, saying why run for fun when you can dash for cash? His professional career so far had been very profitable—going undefeated and leaving every opponent in his dust. All except one. His current opponent looked strange, and Robert almost laughed when he saw the man at the starting line getting ready, placing his feet inside the starting blocks. He was old, and not just any kind of old, relic. Hair white as snow, face withered, body long and muscular but stringy, the man kept pace with him.

Mercy
Friday morning, I woke up in a great mood. I had spent all day Thursday cleaning the house, running errands, and getting the kids prepared for a weekend at the lake with their uncle. My husband had set his alarm for three that morning, and left soon after for a guy's weekend of hunting and testosterone-filled fun at the cabin we co-own with a few other couples.
