Hello again. Been a while hasn't it? I seriously don't mean to keep pulling the whole disappearing act but well, if intentions were pennies, we'd all be rich I suppose. Hope you're all doing well out there. I'm doing pretty great and that's in no small part related to what I'm here to tell you … Continue reading An Announcement
Monsters
It caught us all by surprise when the dead first rose. In an instant they washed over the world, a rotting wave of undeath that outnumbered the living a million times over. Those of us who survived could only run, flee from the monsters at our heels. Soon though there was nowhere left to run … Continue reading Monsters
62nd Open
Westminster Open Comes to Early and Fiery End: The 62nd Annual Westminster Open was forced to postpone its second day of trials following the outbreak of fire. Despite extensive fireproofing, including both water sprinklers and CO2 dispensers, the flames quickly spread across the entire show floor and throughout the surrounding facility. Emergency services were able … Continue reading 62nd Open
The Scrap Knight Ch.12
“Well,” Elmcroft said through a chuckle. “Safe to call that an exciting afternoon, yes?” Orlin refused to look up from his screens. “It’s not funny.” “On the contrary my friend, it’s hilarious.” Elmcroft laughed. “Not everyday you see someone blow up the dump.” Orlin grumbled, taking a keen interest in one of the many reports … Continue reading The Scrap Knight Ch.12
The Scrap Knight Ch.11
Nic was still alive. How this was possible he did not know. People didn’t tend to do well when standing next to large explosions, certainly not two in the same day. Combined with the truly irresponsible number of near misses he’d experienced in the last hour, one would expect Nic’s supply of lucky breaks to … Continue reading The Scrap Knight Ch.11
The Scrap Knight Ch.10
It was pure dumb luck that Nic survived the next five seconds. The Beast lunged with all the grace of a landslide, throwing every ounce of its considerable strength behind the attack. It moved so fast that Nic couldn’t process what was happening before making uncomfortably close company with a wall of fur. He would … Continue reading The Scrap Knight Ch.10
The Scrap Knight Ch.9
All things considered, Nic thought he carried himself rather well during the battle. Granted that was mostly on account of his primary task being to stay out of the way, but a good job was a good job. The rats surged forth as one, the largest of them leading the charge with a vicious screech. … Continue reading The Scrap Knight Ch.9
The Scrap Knight Ch.8
“How’s that? Any kinks in the joint?” The suit twisted its new wrist a full half turn. It moved without major issue, save a slight creaking. “Try the whole arm,” Nic said. “Just to make sure.” The suit did as asked, flexing and twisting the rebuilt limb in all directions. Two good strong lengths of … Continue reading The Scrap Knight Ch.8
The Scrap Knight Ch.7
Nic ran. He ran as fast as his feet would carry him, which in present circumstance was somewhere south of nowhere near fast enough. The ground had become no less treacherous, forcing him to spend precious seconds choosing his footing, lest he fall and waste even more time. What little haste he dared risk was … Continue reading The Scrap Knight Ch.7
The Scrap Knight Ch.6
“How big is this place?” Nic’s question echoed through the cavern, bouncing off the innumerable tunnel walls. They spread out in every direction, some large enough for him to pass through at full height, others so small a mouse would struggle to fit. All of them were formed of scrap, the same fusion of raw … Continue reading The Scrap Knight Ch.6
