“Apparently someone asked Raymond Chandler once what he thought about Hollywood ruining all of his books. And he took them to his study and pointed up to the shelf where they all were and he said, ‘Look, they’re there. They’re fine. They’re okay.’ That’s the attitude I have to take. The film hasn’t ruined my book.” -Alan Moore

Does this … Read More Damnation… sequel?

After years of bleeding and sweating over creating and improving them, I have finally decided to let … Read More Damnation… Released!

V After dinner, Taryn went back to her room to change. She looked through her wardrobe to try and decide what to wear. Elven semi-formal or human… Her closet was made up of both human and elven attire. While most of the rest of her family had assimilated into human culture and thus never really bothered with traditional, or even modern, elven clothes, Taryn … Read More Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy (Chapter 5)

IV Taryn arrived back at her dorm at 1pm and went to lie down for a little while. She hadn’t slept well in a few nights and needed to relax. She got off of Glide, who proceeded to park itself in the shed. Taryn walked up the stairs and headed inside, back to her room.

III “Today is going by so slowly… too slowly…” Tired of conversing with Sentinel, Taryn shut him down and lay back on her bed for a few hours. Finally, she decided that she needed to get off campus and try to sort out these feelings. She needed to piece everything together, and staring at four walls wasn’t going to do it. She stood … Read More Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy (Chapter 3)
