Knight Of Cups
He rode alone in the black of night on his dark horse near impossible to see. His armor darkened with special clinging dye from an old formula passed down. A family recipe as such.
He spies the guard post ahead and as disciplined and stealthy as his stead is, he must leave him a distance away. He will watch for trouble coming from that quarter. He quietly dismounts and removes his top armor leaving just Welund to protect him, securing them in the supply bags on either side of his large mount.
His task is difficult but he is ready with Hacker at his side...

Afterthought
The distant Goddess self-sequestered on that small planet now ice, awash in her divine tears, allowed her soul to wander. Wander to a recent past she felt deeper now than before, a time that she understands more than before. She was there, then a keeper of mystical things. A guardian of the divine magic, of mortal things charged. There has always been such just this time was an aberration that holds deeper meaning.
Man was violent and cruel for millennia and now cruelty and oppression were the norm. Those in power preying on those in need. Soon a turn in that tide would...

Waifs, Strays and Throwaways
A bodyguard’s job may seem glamorous to an outsider, just matter of following some VIP around and deterring people from approaching them with hard stares and the occasional push. The reality is far different. Long hours of constant alertness drain the body and exhaust the mind. Boredom is the stealthy enemy that can kill when you least expect it. He had seen this happen in Iraq.
Dawson Jukes was more than tired, he was drained. It had been a long, hard day, the woman hadn’t shut up his whole shift with her endless wants and demands. No wonder she was a rap star, she never closed her...

Every night for as long as I can remember I would scan the infobhan for images, vintage images, of humans having sex. I found a comfort in it, I don't know why. Remnants of an antiquated system of reproduction, messy and unhygienic. Humans would link their bodies through genitals situated at the lower half of their bodies. The male penis would enter and through a series of penetrating movements he would ejaculate a substance teaming with gametes, the process then formed a zygote and there began organic life.
I found it elicited a feeling in me, a feeling no one else I knew of...

valley of the donkeys
they came
they tamed
or so they thought -
nature
[the fucking idiots]
it was a place
paradise perfect
then came the machinery
conquered
was the word
and they ruled
no matter the paradise they came to
was ruined
the point of focus: growth
like the dragon that outgrew the den
their egos were colossal by now
and then the earth was tickled
the wave and the resulting goose bumps
left the machines squashed
like a mosquito that bit an exposed butt...

I lie. I lie like I've never lied before. I've broken protocol. Lies, deceit, cheating, they're against the moral code and strictly prohibited. A productive society does not function efficiently if its members lie. But fuck, what else can I do? I either write this fucking report to the letter or give them what they want, or need, to hear right now. I don't know how to explain to the chief what went on down there. I'd either be decommissioned or exiled or worse, they might send in the sentinels to crash the dreamscape.
I couldn't lie to him though, he's still inside me, part of me....

Good-bye
Is that truly what you want?” she whispered wistfully. The raindrops running down her rosy cheeks and the playful shadows cast upon her delicate face made it nearly impossible to know for certain what it was she was feeling. For a moment, just one fleeting moment, I forgot why we were here, standing in the frigid, forlorn rain saying goodbye.
I looked at the way her long, wet hair clung desperately to her forehead; I looked at the way her eyebrows furrowed in contemporary confusion; I looked at the way her eyes appeared wide and innocent knowing they were anything but; I looked at the...

Twisted Madness: Bloodline
As Ann stood on her front porch drinking her cup of morning milk as the wind started to blow. She closes her eyes as the cool breeze flows over her body. The clouds begin to roll in as lightening streams across the the sky followed up with ground shaking thunder as lightening bolts strike the hillside across the way. Ann takes a drink of her milk and the rain starts pouring. She sticks her hand out so she can feel the rain upon her skin as she hears her name being called from inside the house.
Ann, Ann.
As she turns to see who's calling for her. She walks towards the door and she...

Beginning Of My Book
Some days , when she looked in the mirror , she did not recognize herself.
Or maybe , the mirror did not recognize her , as she was , heretofor , a
child between worlds , by nature itself , no man , yet no woman made
construct , instrument , nor design.
She was her is , and now , yet been , beyond a where , and yet a when.
Existence is perception.
The only answer that makes sense.
Then I exist.
I percieve , therefore I am...
I am awake...
I am asleep...
Yet , I am the dreaming , and...

"You are the prime programmer Kay".
His voice, still gentle and soothing but it spoke with an urgency. I felt him needing me to understand him. I say he spoke, but our datastreams are unified in this dataocean so it's more of his awareness merging with mine.
I wasn't sure what he meant by I'm the prime programmer. I knew there was going to be quite an unravelling of this spaghetti so I set myself to be patient and allow it to unfold.
"What do you mean?" My thoughts projected to him.
"I mean, Kay, you designed everything. Yourself, this environment,...
