The Talking Wall
I am a wall, standing tall and proud in the heart of the city. I have seen the rise and fall of empires, the laughter and tears of generations. I have witnessed the hustle and bustle of daily life, the triumphs and failures of those who pass by me.

Marooned
He sat back against the log of the collapsed palm tree while sipping from the bottle of rum that sat besides him. The fire he built crackled in front of him and hid the darkening shadows of his ship’s tall masts and white sails behind it. A bright full moon reflected off the surface of the water with the plethora of constellations he studied in order to navigate the seas. Their blinking was blurred in his drunken vison as he glared up at them and hummed shanties until his eyelids slipped closed and he drifted off to sleep with the sound or cracking wood and crashing waves.

Chapter 1: Among the ruins
Another beach, Elijah sighed, gazing out across the vast, undulating plain of a thousand liquid mirrors that came to a foamy end on the grey-white sand. They had been on Corfu for almost a week now, and on several other Greek islands before that, and in all that time, his friends had wanted to do nothing except lie on the sand, swim in the turquoise sea, and ogle the bevy of foreign beauties frolicking in the water. All Elijah wanted to do was explore. He and three of his friends booked this trip because they had all wanted to experience Greece, but once they arrived, it became painfully apparent that they had all wanted to come to Greece for reasons different from his own.

HERO
The castle beckoned. Lonely and bleak, slimy gray walls mocking Him, it stood. The Hero gazed from his perch across the abyssal waters at his target. There was but one flimsy bridge that connected the island of which the castle stood atop to the greater landmass where He stood. Huddled inside the deepest keep of the castle was not a man, but an idea. An idea masked behind altruism and a strife for the “greater good;” an idea that called for the subjective moral disposition of the few to command the actions of all. Are there those among the order of man that would benefit from a sense of moral authority? Without doubt the answer to such a proposition would be in the affirmative. However, the Hero had yet exercised his natural intellectual freedom as a man enough to recognize when a tyrannical imposition was on the horizon, and had authored a personal conception of self-realization that allowed for the direct control of his animalistic passions. He was a balanced human. His sense of man brought him from his family and his home to this castle; the beast inside is what will allow him to turn his principles into action.
