    Threadmarks: Chapter 20 - Scouting the Desert

    My eyes stung, and I felt a pair of hot tears streak down my face. My emotions were a mess. Trying to fight them back, I growled at her, "I love her. I need to find her. Please, either help or let me be." Like a cat suddenly pretending it's bored, the genie's face turned blank again. She looked...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 21 - The Clock Starts Ticking

    KAI Kai was no longer alone in the Admin Room. A few paces away stood a figure, possibly a man, possibly a woman in a man's body, possibly a cosmic being that was completely without gender but whose form accidentally resembled what Kai thought of as a stuck-up male. He was mostly human in...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 22 - Goblin Slayer

    YAZ Night arrived, and the world plunged into darkness. Firelight reflected off the canopy of needled branches overhead and the massive, cinnamon-coloured trunks of the redwood trees that surrounded the gully. In another setting, it would be beautiful. But drums and chanting and the screech...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 20 - Should He Kill?

    Vance rode alone down the thin dirt road out of the village, the worn ground fading into a pair of wheel ruts in no time at all. Very few people came this way. The only traffic out of the tiny village would be hunters and wood gatherers, maybe teams of armed peasants or adventurer parties...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 21 - Yaz to the Rescue

    YAZ Despite his best and most frantic efforts, Yaz was unable to get out of the ropes that were binding him. As long minutes passed, his worry increased. When he heard the sounds of goblins attacking the nymph glade, his worry exploded into anxiousness. Yet he remained utterly helpless. The...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 19 - Me vs Genie

    For I don't know how long, my brain shut down. I could only stare at the page, the bloody ink. The message from my dead wife. Even in the dim starlight, I recognized her handwriting from grocery lists and birthday cards. She wasn't dead. She was alive in this world. That should have been...

    Peckle eagerly added, "Yeah, man. I'm with him. I think we should just go north. There's plenty of potential trouble without getting in over our heads, you know? Triton and pirate raids from the sea. Bandits. Feral boars and giant sloths rooting up farms, dire wolves attacking sheep and...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 20 - Goblins

    ARWIN Foliage all around the edge of the glade suddenly rustled. Nymphly heads swivelled in all directions to see what was causing it. They frowned and looked wary. A few began to rise. Arwin was puzzled by their concern until he recalled Yaz talking about how well aware of their...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 18 - Flashback: A Wonderful Life

    FLASHBACK Late-morning sunlight playfully bounced around the tiny apartment kitchen, brightening the space and feeding the many decoratively potted plants and tilandsia growing on shelves and in corners. One red, heart-shaped mug sat on the counter next to the coffee machine while the other...

    Vance Young, handsome, and rich, Vance Rondel was of the very wealthy Rondel family of merchants, who made their money shipping to the old world back overseas. He sat in comfort at a table in the mid-scale Black Bull Restaurant, dining on steak and eggs for lunch, with a large helping of...

    Threadmarks: Chapater 19 - All Tied Up

    YAZ Meandering away from the glade, Yaz explored the local forest, looking for a quiet place to lie down and nap. Being undead, he didn't really need sleep and often went without it, but for some reason, it still refreshed him when he chose to indulge. Perhaps it was some kind of emotional...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 17 - Midpoint Twist

    I waited for [Do the Unlikely] to do…anything. And waited. I looked around. I didn't sense a skill being activated or mana being drained. "Nothing's happening." Maybe using the skill was situational. I sighed, resigned to experimenting later, and leaned back on my hands. My palm landed on a...

    A yellow and brown kobold with a stone-bladed hatchet gripped tight in both hands, hunched with grim determination, and rounded the corner for the stairs. Kai dashed past the others and grabbed the kobold by the shoulder, halting progress. "Wait! It's dangerous." The yellow-brown kobold was...

    ARWIN Dappled sunlight played across the grass and along the thick tree trunk next to Arwin and his new companion. The delicate sound of feminine laughter and giggling voices carried easily through the fresh air. "Go ahead." Yaz motioned towards the forest glade before them. "You introduce...

    A slow, increasingly gleeful smile spread over the great blue genie's lips. She looked down at the bracers on her arms with expectation. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of years of suppressed hopes and dreams, of humiliation and pain, all of it was about to come to an end. "This is it… After all...

    Kai Kai slammed the door between him and the owlbear. He stood without moving in the Admin room, lit by the wall screen, listening to the sound of the fierce creature outside screeching and pounding on the stone wall. A little bit of pee came out. He may have had a mild heart attack. That...

    ARWIN They set off in the direction of the Dark Enchantress's castle side-by-side. They went south, for a while, towards the next village. But before reaching it, they turned off the enchanted path and took a lesser, non-magical trail off into the forest, one that was rough and seemed...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 15 - Phenomenal Cosmic Genie!

    This phenomenal cosmic being floated in front of me like a nightmare come to life. The blue smoke roiled with anger. The evil eyes blazed with gleefully malicious hatred, so high up, I had to crane my neck back. Everything about the being screamed danger. A slightly feminine mouth formed...

    ARWIN The skeleton mulled the issue over. "Well, you did help me out. And you aren't going to last very long in Heartstone on your own. It's a dangerous place." Arwin exclaimed, "Don't I know it! Dude, I met a blue screen of death!" The skeleton sighed. "I suppose I could lend you a hand."...
