The Last Storm
Listen to your heart. Michelle Liew ************************************************ He'd survived worse. He always did. James, a cantankerous, stubborn old man, had lived in the same cabin in the woods all his life. The howling echo of the wind and rain deluges made their presence constant, as did the still, eerie silence.

Medusa. Honorable Mention in Legends Rewritten Challenge.
Brody took a deep breath and braced himself as the door opened. Thumping base notes and raucous laughter exploded out into the cold March air, carried on the scent of stale beer and sweaty sneakers. Perfect. Just a regular Friday partying with the boys of Theta Chi.

The Princess & The Peabrain
The Politician had always wanted a wife who’d listen. A beauty that would wait on hand and foot and always agree with his opinions. He had many opinions. And he needed someone who would support him unconditionally. Otherwise, what was even the point of a wife? He had preferred other men in his company anyhow; they were by far stronger and superior.

An Odyssey. Honorable Mention in Legends Rewritten Challenge.
Ulysses was tired, and it was only 3pm, local time. He was very far from home and he was jet-lagged. It was already the third day of his business trip but his body and mind still hadn't caught up to him. Despite that, with the powers of coffee and confidence combined, work was going well. He'd already given his presentation twice, and by his count he'd only made a handful of minor mistakes.

Henny Penny was Right
This tale concerns a grouple, or group of like-minded people, who tried to tell the villagers of their country that danger was approaching, sure and swift. Of this grouple, many were men and women of science who studied and measured things. Their knowledge was posted on every streetlight, tree, and sandwich board in the village. They made sure that what they studied was available to everyone.
