Story - Cultivating Happiness

It had been another hard day of manual labour after many hard days of manual labour. There did not seem to be any end to the manual labour in sight, in fact. It would be another hard day of manual labour as soon as the sun came up. But tonight...tonight Carol had all to herself. The menfolk were all at a meeting that she wasn't allowed to attend, and as a result the house was blissfully quiet,…

Story - An Orc, a Dwarf, and a Drow Walk Into a Bar

An orc, a dwarf, and a drow walk into a bar. The orc asks the bartender for something strong. The bartender pulls out some moonshine and pours the orc a glass. "Here you go, something as strong as you!" he says, to the orc's great delight and amusement. The dwarf asks the bartender for something light. The bartender pulls out some 0.5% beer and, still riding high on his last success, says, "Here…

Story - That Can Wait Til Tomorrow

Shar slowly let go of both the breath and the walls that she'd been holding and took a tentative step forward. Everything seemed to be okay. Rose petals drifted and danced through the air to land delicately at her feet. The table in front of her still held the vase of roses they came from, undisturbed, as well as a glass of ice water and a single slice of cake. Everything seemed to be okay. Books…

Story - The Horrors

The horrors were everywhere. All around you. Everywhere you looked, every person you saw, everyone you spoke to was dealing with an insurmountable amount of horrors, and there was nothing you could do to help them. You tried, you tried to help everyone, you tried to help with everything, but you spread yourself too thin and nothing did much good. And when you realised there was nothing concrete…

Story - Strangely Familiar

"Guess what?" Dianna announced triumphantly as she strode into the room followed by a nervous-looking doe that placed a single hoof inside the door and stood there twitching its ears as it took in everybody. "I have a new familiar!" "..." The rest of the witches said nothing as they stared back at the wild animal that was staring at them. "I found her in the forest!" Dianna exclaimed proudly, a…

Story - Misgnomers

"We are under attack by gnomes!" Daryn the Beardful exclaimed as he barrelled down the entrance tunnel and through the door into the main hall, closely followed by two of the others who had been on watch with him. "Gnomes? They were bigger than us!" One of his companions, Tarruk the Tall argued as they came to a stop in front of the rest of their kin, most of whom were already grabbing weapons.…

Story - That's No Macguffin!

It was closing in on closing time in The Black Dragon Inn, and the vast majority of the student mage patrons were studiously ignoring this fact in favour of nursing their favourite drinks for as long as possible and talking loudly enough at each other that they could barely hear the bartender's metal teeth grinding at them. In one darkened corner of the common room that was conveniently shrouded…

Story - A Heady Night

It was just your average Thursday night, nothing special about it. The rain was falling, the streets were quiet, and Adam Knott was walking home from work at The Institute. He had his headphones in as he always did, music blaring, head nodding along to the rhythm. There was nothing about it even remotely out of the ordinary, right up until the moment the back of his head exploded in a violent…

Story - Polly Desires a Soylent Cracker

Once upon a time there was a peculiar pirate ship in the Mediterranean sea. This was no ordinary pirate ship of the kind you may have heard about before, you see, no, this pirate ship, although it looked just the same as all the others before it, was of a new cybernetic design, entirely controlled by a superintelligent AI named Polly. Now, Polly preferred to take the disguise of a hologramatic…

Tool - Chilled Lists

A very simple to-do list with categories, but with no due dates or timers or priorities.
