Coming home felt good.
It was nice to see our growing walls, even at a distance! They were proceeding well. The basic structure of the inner wall was already in place, with steady cons...
2025-04-04 22:01:31 +0000 UTC View PostI gave a small shrug. “I’m in worse shape on that score than Turner is for his, unfortunately. We’ve been wholly focused on getting walls up around the farm and bringing in supplies fr...
2025-04-04 00:48:36 +0000 UTC View PostI eyed Turner carefully. He looked impeccable in his military uniform, which was a stark contrast to myself; I was still wearing the body armor I used whenever I was traveling outside the fa...
2025-04-02 21:12:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn’t long before we came into sight of Carver’s fortress. I had to admit that even from a distance his place was a hell of a lot more impressive than mine, at least so far. Of cours...
2025-04-01 21:05:49 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the pack of burly, pig-faced humanoids rushed me, and I grinned in anticipation. My sword flickered in the sunlight as I dashed toward him. He was tier five—no easy foe, this one. B...
2025-03-31 21:05:36 +0000 UTC View Post(This is the final chapter for book 2! I should have the beginning of book one ready for you on Monday, so stay tuned!)
We rose early the next day and prepared to march on th...
2025-03-28 20:26:43 +0000 UTC View Post(One more chapter for this book, after this, and then we'll be moving on to book three next week!)
It ended up being an extra day before we could get back out to the Guard ba...
2025-03-28 00:36:27 +0000 UTC View Post(One, maybe two more chapters left of book two after this one. I suspect I will wrap book two this week, and then we'll be moving ahead with book three's adventures starting next week! ...
2025-03-26 21:19:09 +0000 UTC View PostI knelt there, staring at the Forgotten King’s corpse for a long moment. I half expected him to get back up and start fighting again. You know, that moment at the end of a horror movie whe...
2025-03-26 00:29:06 +0000 UTC View PostLyonius didn’t hesitate. The moment I leapt forward with that stolen greatsword in hand, he charged to meet me, his own blade swinging into a ready position. The flames of his eyes bri...
2025-03-24 21:52:23 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t know where that blast of energy had come from, but I wasn’t in any position to look a gift horse in the mouth! The bolt of black light slammed into Lyonius, knocking him away fr...
2025-03-23 03:38:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! I've been at a conference all week, and I've managed to get a chapter each day anyway, but things got too hectic today and I'm wiped - I'm not going to be able to finish the chapter toda...
2025-03-22 03:19:01 +0000 UTC View PostGideon cursed under his breath. The trip was taking too damned long. Driving from the lake shore to the mall was a matter of ten minutes, maybe fifteen on a bad day, back before the Event sc...
2025-03-21 05:38:54 +0000 UTC View PostNo shit, there I was…
Always wanted to start a story like that. This feels like one where it works, right? The Forgotten King was on his horse, bearing down on me, sword in hand, rea...
2025-03-20 04:05:53 +0000 UTC View PostWe were deep in the shit now. There was no doubt in my mind that the being riding toward us was the big bad, the leader of the zombie horde and ruler of the Domain based at the mall. What, p...
2025-03-19 04:29:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe pressure on my mind grew more intense by the moment. The entity challenging me for Control of my undead was strong, enormously so, and as sweat trickled down my forehead I realized I mig...
2025-03-18 03:30:42 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I dropped out of the sky directly in front of the oncoming zombie horde, I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Would they stop? Keep coming? I had no way to know. There wasn't time to...
2025-03-14 21:52:48 +0000 UTC View PostGideon jumped over the side of the boat as it cruised into the dock. His booted feet landed firmly on the wooden planks with a hard thud. It was good to be back on land—well, near enough t...
2025-03-14 00:44:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe enemy gave us almost a full hour to prepare before they came after us. I was surprised, because I figured they’d charge across the road much sooner, but instead they waited until liter...
2025-03-13 01:22:17 +0000 UTC View PostI raced Sue over to where the others were already forming up defensive lines in the fields between the mall and farm. The place still looked mostly intact. There were a lot of broken windows...
2025-03-11 21:37:04 +0000 UTC View PostBack during round one with the wraiths, I’d tried to go one on one and seriously gotten the bad end of the deal. I’d almost died. If it hadn’t been for my friends, I probably would hav...
2025-03-10 21:46:44 +0000 UTC View PostWe set about gathering the stones from the dead zombies. There were a lot of dead zombies, so it took us a little while, but Farnsworth and Kara were adamant it was worth the t...
2025-03-07 22:30:28 +0000 UTC View PostGideon made his way back down to the waterfront. The ruins of the Echo Center still smoked from his attack. The undead rats had done their job perfectly, spreading out around the building be...
2025-03-06 22:46:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe wraith’s grip tightened on my neck, but that wasn’t the worst of it. His eyes flashed with brilliant green light, and behind him four zombies turned toward us, mouths open as they ap...
2025-03-05 21:35:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt took some doing to get Sue out of the Target and into the main hallways of the mall itself. The doorways were simply too small, so I had my dinosaur blast the metal and glass framing abov...
2025-03-04 22:32:54 +0000 UTC View PostFarnsworth had talked me into doing a quick scouting loop around the mall, using Sue to expedite the process. Kara stayed behind to help keep things organized with the ratkin; they liked her...
2025-03-03 23:01:58 +0000 UTC View PostNow that we had tacit approval from the avians, we were able to cut directly past the old airport where they lived, rather than going all the way south around it. That would shave a good hou...
2025-03-01 01:52:32 +0000 UTC View PostWe made our way south as rapidly as everyone could move, pushing steadily along the open space of the runways. I had to set Sue’s pace down a few notches from max, because I was mad enough...
2025-02-27 23:15:11 +0000 UTC View PostTurner’s face went red at my words, and for a moment I had this idea he was just going to throw down with me, right there and then. There was something in his look, a mixture of rage and b...
2025-02-27 01:59:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe cheering picked up as we approached, and I grinned in spite of the circumstances. What can I say? It was nice to be appreciated! And they were cheering really loud. Sue was...
