Adventure
The Rogue Dragon
The Night of the Amber Moon is less of a holiday and more of an eerie event though the Spellbinders would like us to think differently. The collection takes place at midnight when the golden moon is high in the ink black sky and the darkness has snuffed out all the light of the sun and stars. The only light that is visible is the burning torches along the village shops leading to a roaring bonfire in the center of the town square where the payments will be collected. Thousands of villagers stand in a long line to pay what’s due and for those who don’t make an appearance, the guard goes from door to door to ensure no one is missing.

The Rogue Dragon
Though the villagers felt the immense shake of the crash they disregarded it instantly only grateful that the dragon hadn’t crashed in their village. The dragon had most likely landed in the Forest of Shadows outside the village to rest. It was uninhabited so there would be no concern that any lives would be lost as long as they didn’t do or say anything to encourage an attack.

The Last Window of Apollo. Runner-Up in Behind the Last Window Challenge.
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room... She glanced down at the papyrus on her lap. The hot flames bit at her nostrils as she struggled to finish her inscription before the fires finished their consumption of Troy.

Bad For Business
"Xander, do you have it?" The frantic voice in my head let me know Cara was worried. Jacking into cyberspace was a regular day for me, but this time, everything was different. The job was sketchy, to say the least, but we needed the money, and the corpo who hired me didn't give too many details.

Splatters in Your Eyes'
It started like any other day, walking through the vacant city streets. Only the howls of the creatures that infested our world dare to make sounds. I see a store where the boarding has been slightly pulled aside so curosity got the better of me as I entered the torn apart apartment store. Looks like it may have been a clothing store at one time with a ranched smell coming from the corner of the room.

Lilly is on school holidays; she went camping with her parents. She is sitting in her new Landcruiser, her parents assume there is enough space inside the Landcruiser to sleep and eat. But Lilly knows there's not enough space in the car. Lilly has a dog named Jeffy. He is coming to camp. Her brother Jordan does not want to come because Jeffy licks him and then Jeffy’s saliva comes out of his mouth and dribbles on Jordan's pants. I know that is a bit disgusting anyway, but Lilly’s parents decided that they were going to Underwood Island. In stories and news Lilly heard there are volcanoes, which are big and black. It has fire in it. Lilly said she is not scared of volcanoes if they do not erupt during my school holidays.
