Mystery

On the Edge of Rose River
1 – The Rose Birger dropped from the clouds silently, his scales gleaming with condensation. He enjoyed the feeling of the mist on his face as he flew through the dark mass of water vapor. Soon the clouds would let loose a torrent of rain, bright streaks of lightning, and rolling thunder that will shake the earth. Birger could feel it as he flapped his massive wings and filled his eyes with the beautiful country before him. The sun was trying to break through the clouds, and even managed to shine through for a few short minutes.

"Finally," Catherine Dawson said to herself as the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) train to Farmingdale she was on announced her stop. Minutes later, the train stopped at the right stop, and the door opened. Pulling a small Ziplite Lime-green Samsonite suitcase behind her, relief etched on her face. She eases towards the exit.

The Barn
LUCY STAGGERS FROM THE BARN and stumbles into the Yorkshire night. As she fights to keep her footing in the mire, she looks around: the sky is cold and black and studded with a million stars, their dying light outlining the dales that surround her like a group of immense obelisks. Looming over her. Over the barn.

The Chronicles of Terramyr
The Black Keep towers into the cerulean sky, casting an oppressive shadow over the surrounding landscape. High above the townsfolk in Castletown village below, surrounded by black pointed spires, obsidian-sculpted archways, and a twisting maze of dark corridors, King Hothgar Tassedothe, followed by a retinue of men, slowly ascends the steps of a narrow walkway upwards toward the dark dome-shaped structure of the Imperial Council chamber.

Open Your Eyes
Something around you doesn’t want to be seen. I know your eyes won’t let you, but you have to pay attention. Look for a boarded up window that you somehow never noticed one of the boards is a little too new. Or maybe it’ll be a hidden alleyway conveniently placed in an overlapping gap between buildings. Even a manhole weirdly on the grass instead of in the road. Whatever it is for you, no matter how hard, I am begging you, look there.

The Man in the Black Coat
It was getting late on Sunday, and Jacob Waknosky had been working since eight. His boss had called him in on his day off because another employee was sick. It was against the law for Jacob to say no to his boss because enough pro-capitalist extremists had gotten elected to office to make what they called 'pro business' laws. This made it very difficult to be an employee, but businesses were thriving. The government made it illegal not to have a job, so everybody worked, even those with severe disability’s. Have you ever seen somebody with no arms try to mine for coal with a pickaxe in his mouth? Jacob had, and it sickened him. To make matters worse, they had converted everything to solar a decade prior, making coal obsolete.

The Last Leprechaun
CHAPTER 10 Hypathos quickly made his way to the River Lethe. Several weeks ago he had received reports of strange noises coming from the other side. When he went to investigate the first time, he had seen dozens of orcs lined up on the river’s edge throwing boulders into the river. At first, he was tempted to fly back to the city to warn the other fairies. And yet, when he thought of telling the Queen, he grew angry. For if she managed to prevent whatever the orcs were planning, she would rule for as long as she lived. That would mean hundreds, if not thousands of years of servitude under her for Hypathos. At that sickening thought, he decided to keep the orcs a secret and find a way to stop them himself.

Streaming Stanley
I still remember the day we found the proof. Rumor has it that no one ever saw Stanley in real life after that day. We were sitting in recon van 7. Kelly (of course), McGuire, and a new intern named Liz.
