The train rocked and bucked under his feet. Dick sat hunched forward with his phone in his hands but no notifications were moving across it yet. Well that wasn’t entirely true. There were some still skating across from the group chats but he didn’t feel like answering them yet. He couldn’t muster the drive to.

Long time writer looking for a place to host and share my works. Whether it be fantasy, science fiction or a slice of life, I strive to make them all stories a younger me would have wanted to read with characters he needed to see.
The Zodiac: Chapter 22
Gemini leaned forward, his hands on the edge of the crate. The armor that had been given to him was there. Shining pieces of steel and leather. He had tried it on and fought in it before. Over time it had become his armor. They had moved themselves to a small camp outside of the […]
The Zodiac: Chapter 21
They decided to watch the sunrise from the lake that morning. Sitting down on the grass together. Once it was high enough to illuminate not only the lake but them as well they decided it was time to go. Holding out her hand, Aquarius waited for Gemini. He was looking at the castle longingly.

Samantha had her arms crossed, standing on the ledge of the roof. It was a parking deck overlooking a pocket of the business district of the city. The air was still warm even at this time of night but she felt the chill from her geist. It kept her focused. Tapping one metal finger against […]

He had the feeling for years but he never paid it mind. Dreams weren’t always something someone could remember […]
Samantha felt the ground underneath her shoes as they traveled the path to the facility. She had her one hand at Rey’s arm walking him forward and she kept her eyes ahead not looking elsewhere. Sirius was chewing on another tooth pick his hands shoved deep in his pocket. They hadn’t talked on the way […]

It was cloudy out here. Rey would have checked the weather but he had a good idea that it was going to rain soon. A sixth sense that he’d had ever since he’d come back to life. He knew when it was going to rain, when dawn was coming, what phase the moon was going […]
