Dating Things - a story of Tootplanets for Patreon

Dating Things - a story of Tootplanets for Patreon 📆 #FreeFiction

📆

The spellbook had been one of the best finds on the planet they had poetically called 17-5-12.

The original population had been something very close to humanoid, as far as the drawings, the records, and the shapes of the buildings showed.  They had left behind stacks and stacks of ephemera, all of it on linen-esque paper-fabric, much of it rolled…

Summer Vacation, a vignette of Jamian et al for Patreon

Summer Vacation, a vignette of Jamian et al for Patreon (part of the repost project)

Part of my continual crosspost/mirroring project

Set some years after the apocalypse. Jamian is a character from my first webserial, Addergoole.  Miryam came from Addergoole: Year 9.  This is just a little bit of them on a beach, to Rix’s prompt and Wyste and B’s choice of characters.  Oh, and Cay and Vi are also from Addergoole.  Arna has most of her mentions in Addergoole: a…

The Sea Eats, a Patreon Story

This story might be in the same world as Desmond’s Climb. 

⛵

The sea ate boats.

In the villages along the coast, they spoke of this solemnly: Harun-sha has taken another boat.  Harun-sha must be very hungry today.

In the cities, they either spoke cynically of it: “this criminal population is getting out of hand.  We need to send an exploration ship out,” or they spoke of it…

Outta the Woods Yet?

Outta the Woods Yet? a story about coming out of the woods. and doing just fine?

The big cat had been chasing Pren for heart-rending minutes when she managed to skid into a cave she’d never seen before.  She shimmied through a hole that was barely big enough for her and scooted up into a little ledge area. The cat might wait for hours for her, so she made herself comfortably before she pulled out the flint and steel and lit her torch.

The walls of the cave glittered and…

Present

a story for my New Year’s Prompt Call, which you should go prompt at please, here.

Warning… a wee bit maudlin. 

The snow had finally melted.  It had been a long winter – slow-starting but then dumping buckets of snow on us all of February and March and most of April.

It was May 5th, and I could finally see all of the grass, or at least the parts that had survived.  I could see, too, my poor…

What’s in the Garden?

What’s in the Garden? 🥗 A story of “Science!” for my “WTF??!??” prompt call. 🥗 #freeFiction

Written to Rix-Scaedu’s prompt to my new “WTF?” Prompt Call.  This is definitely a Science! story, complete with the Boss – Liam – and his plucky second-in-command. 

The raid had taken down three scientists working outside the bounds of the law, morality, or common sense, along with seven “assistants”, mostly grad students, who would probably not be charged, as having to find another research…

Beholden

Beholden - a ficlet of #FaeApoc for Wednesday’s #Livewriting Day. 🧚🏽 If there were words Uršula less wanted to be saying, she couldn’t think of them.  🧚🏽 #freefiction

To an anonymous Leopard (Rix’s) prompt during my Live Writing Wednesday.  I hope I got the prompt right, since I lost it in a chat delete.  Fae Apoc, probably early post-apoc 🧚🏽 “I owe you one.” If there were words Uršula less wanted to be saying, she couldn’t think of them. “Yep, you do.” (more…)
