Adventure
Beautiful
A beautiful afternoon in the city of Phoenicia. The palm leaves danced gently in the auburn sky. The breeze was crisp, short, and comforting. Citizens buzzed and swooned as the clocks ticked and tocked. The distinct scent of opportunity and new beginnings wafted sensually into and out of this city’s limits. Creativity was at an all time high. Self expression and reflection quite literally ruled the world. Oh, what a beautiful afternoon in the quaint beautiful city of Phoenicia…

How I Feel About The Kids in Boruto: Team 7 Edition
Please note that again this is my opinion. I think it goes without saying that Naruto is one of the big 3 in anime, one of the most iconic mainstream animes out there and we can see aspects of Naruto in many anime that came afterward. That being said, it is therefore understandable that I, as I'm sure many other fans were overjoyed when the announcement of Boruto: Naruto Next Generation getting animated came out.

Streetlight Glory
She watched from afar. In her ear, she heard her colleague say to hang five. But she was getting agitated. She was told 1530. It's now 1540. The gun was by her side. Sweat dripped down her forehead, filling the creases in her frown. She peered behind the curtain again.

It Turns Out This Town Is Exactly The Right Size For The Two Of Us.
“Well, well! Black Bart, just coming out of the 5th National Bank, hands full of bags of money and your trusty old revolver! Isn’t it lucky that I just arrived here in time, on this dusty old street, ready to have a shootout with you after first talking a bit.”

The Wherewolf of London, Ohio
Toby was a mistake. No… not like that. His parents were dutiful. High school sweethearts, Aaron and Janice Stapleton were the quintessential, good-natured busybodies. Everything was planned out; from the proximity of their colleges to the careers of their dreams, from the home of their choice on the street of their choice, they accounted for every minute and every dollar. Had it been the 1950s, they would have been on the billboard of soon-to-come white picket fence community. By the time Janice had become pregnant with Toby, the couple had been happily married for three years, had a room already set aside for a nursery, and had a college fund set up at the local bank. Toby’s childhood was, for all intents and purposes, perfect. Except, of course, for the bullying.

Dreamer - Chapter 37
The ride home had been quiet. Rev had mostly kept his gaze out on the open road. He leaned his right hand against the steering wheel, while his left was held up against the window. The trees whizzed past as if we were racing them towards the house; whoever made it back first, wins. The closer we got towards my home, the fewer cars showed on the road. I'll probably never get used to life in the middle of nowhere; what the hell was my father thinking when he found this place? To break the awkward silence, I just pulled out my phone. Rev said earlier to make this technology-free.. but hey, I make my own choices now.

Subsistent Lies
King Arthur’s ball was a big success, everyone who had been at the tourney showed up to the ball dressed in their finest. I had every reason to believe half the success belonged to the King’s guest of honor. Part of my reason in showing up tonight was to learn more about the guest of honor myself and to finish striking a deal with King Arthur that King Vincenzio would be proud of. I still had not been able to change Arthur’s mind about sharing Valence with my King. “Your grace I really must talk to you about Valence.” I said as Arthur took a goblet of wine.
