There is a bit of the Divine within us all.
Entry for Dagger's New Voices Contest
In Gonderlund's university of magic capitol, Gontiluna, a menacing force permeates the streets and drives the horses crazy. Tables of food sit uneaten, shops are unattended with their doors open for any to steal their wares. Not a soul to be seen, nor an animal to be heard, our heroes' unease affects the entire party. What is this strange aura and what does it mean in the grand scheme of things? Will any get out alive?
(Incomplete)
An unknown bond between a man and a young goddess manifests as a demonic presence bent on devouring the universe.

Settling into the boredom of handling domestic affairs of the state the young monarchs spend their first years under a reign of peace. But unexpected foes threaten to shatter that peace!
(Complete Story)
In a mad alternate reality strangely similar to our own a tsunami off the coast of Japan causes serious nuclear consequences. Unprecedented climate change decimates crops and major livestock populations. An emerging chicken market invades the world's dinner tables at an unheard of rate. A shower of meteorites heralds the arrival of planet Earth's first extraterrestrial visitors.
Together these cataclysmic events lead to the most devastating case of the munchies the Pacific Northwest has ever seen. Read the story of one man's quest for survival in this strange, new world gone mad!

IN THE NEAR FUTURE...
On a planet much like our own a diabolical madman uses a power once only dreamed of to open a portal, a wormhole ripped across space/time, through which to lead his hellish army in a dark quest for vengeance and conquest. This madman is the sorcerer Harmony and he is now the undisputed supreme ruler of all that is left of the great, green Earth. He sits on a throne of bones and dreams of the day he will return to claim what is rightfully his.
Traveling the occupied territories once known as the United States of America a young man struggles to stay once step ahead of the soldiers who doggedly pursue him. Lost to a bestial madness by night, by day he is just plain lost. His name is Candlelite; he never asked for this burden yet he carries it with honor and integrity beyond his years.
Max Kimbal is a genetic engineer and quantum physicist unparalleled in his fields. Hired by a billionaire's son to help him realize his dead father's dream of journeying to alternate universes via quantum tunneling, Max is also the only survivor of Harmony's arrival on Earth. Shouldering the blame for Harmony's conquest Max has appointed himself the wormhole's watchdog. Though now lost to alcoholism the scientist remains ever vigilant in his observations.
The immortal mercenary Jeshux DuTerriux Jules has crossed the very fabric of existence in his pursuit of the sorcerer Harmony. Presently the soldier pursues a prey the likes of which he has never seen before. Some primordial instinct whispers that herein lies the key to stopping Harmony's insanity. Jeshux only hopes he can catch the beast in time.
A puzzled bear meanders under the forest's canopy. It's puzzlement stems from a partially remembered scent, an odor from the past that sends it seeking answers to questions it did not know it possessed. Steadfast the confused animal follows it's nose to one who may hold the answers.
Within these pages lie the fate of two worlds, spinning in tandem they only await the fulfillment of- The Quantum Prophecy!

Every moment counts when you're on the run but Davey Jones has stolen the technology to master time itself. So I invite you, come sail away with Davey on an epic adventure down the time stream, through the realm of possibility in his attempt to understand his role in a multiverse Quantum Physics is only just begining to understand. Just don't forget to bring a life jacket!
