    Threadmarks: The Crown of Ashes

    The wind didn't just howl through the broken spires of the Citadel; it screamed, tearing at the tattered banners. The air was thick with the scent of ash and hot metal, and the distant, metallic clang of mourning horns was swallowed by the ever-present beat of war drums. The sky above Sahirra...

    Paradise is Other People
    Threadmarks: It Starts with Two

    Long ago, I went to a youth group to study our holy text. One thing that had been bothering me was the fast-and-loose way the cleric would incorporate holy verses in his sermons, so I decided to craft a fallacious but nice-sounding sermon for the cleric during our study session. Instead of the...

    "Oh, come on, that's bull crap!" Austin shouted, slouching back on the sofa, frustration bubbling over as he glared at the TV. Seriously? That just happened? He rubbed his temples, trying to wrap his head around it. How does Pikachu—the same Pikachu that took down a Regice and held his own...

    With a thunderous crash, the wine glass shattered into a thousand pieces, joining the jagged snowfall on the floor, gathered like dust on a shelf. "Shitfaced bastard!" Expelled in one breath came the frustrated voice of a small woman. "Running out of creative ones?" A bemused man responded...
