Dark Meat
Sequel to Soylent Us
“You have done well managing my X account the past month,” Elon told the lookalike.
“Thank you.”
“With posts like these, the far right will be against nonwhite and immigrants in no time.”
“And no one will care where they go.” The lookalike grinned. “Although I do not understand why we are protecting white people.”
“It is only temporary. Anything to keep them from getting alerted when people start to go missing. They are next.” Elon paused. “What of the legal protections for Somali migrants in Minnesota?”
“Trump is terminating them.”
“Excellent.” Elon chuckled. “I hope everyone likes dark meat.”

The General's Dream
General Aldarius winds up accidentally saving the elkai prince who joined the army and ends up in the war with the volkin. The boy, age seventeen, is almost killed before General Aldarius comes to his rescue. Sensing that the boy didn't belong, he questions how the would be prince managed to get in the army in the first place. The prince explains that he joined the army because he wanted to prove to himself and his father that he was something more than just someone who sat in the background of life. He wanted to be more active. General Aldarius doesn't catch on that the boy is the King's son yet until the King himself issues a distress alert across the nation that his son has gone missing. Putting two and two together, this "random" boy who joined the elkai army happens to be the same boy that the King is looking for. He goes to question the boy once more about who he was and why he was in the army in the first place. The boy confesses that he is indeed the King's son and even though he lied about his identity, his reasons for joining the army remained true.

Fair Exchange, No Robberies
Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.
