Emperor's Empiric Expansion Exposes Entities
"Randy! Heads up!" The radio blared. "No problem, Chester! Accelerating past eighty, now! No way this freak's getting past me!" Checking his mirrors, the suspect moved effortlessly into his blind spot, paced Randy for a bit, then peeled away. Jaw slack, eyes wide, foot easing off the gas, Randy pulled over. "HE JUST WALKED MY 800 HORSEPOWER CHARGER LIKE I WAS STANDING STILL! WHAT THE HELL!"

She lost precious seconds, face down in the snow. The dogs were so close now, she had no time to stagger to her feet.

Dark Fae. Content Warning.
Legends abound about me, passed down through the centuries. Some say I come for your soul to eat; others say I come for your children and leave changelings in their places. Most don’t believe in me, but a few still do. Those few cross themselves at every strange coincidence, praying I’ll pass their house and loved ones by.

Spectating. Runner-Up in Just a Minute Challenge. Top Story - April 2024.
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.

Today in the O.R.
I studied every evening to become a surgical nurse after my professional bodybuilding career ended. I love the miracle of the human body, whether performing at peak condition in the gym or in need of repair on an operating table.
