When you look at me what do you first think? Be honest. If you've been alive on the Earth long enough you'd seen many depictions of creatures like myself: dark hair, crimson skin, two small-yet-significant protruding horns poking through our hairline. I'm a demon, have always been, and will always be from the moment the … Continue reading The Department of Unholy Deals (Or My Life as an Antinatalist Demon)

The Final Temple
The adventures of the old god Dar'goth continues! This time Dar'goth is in need of desperate help to pass his code inspection so he does what any sort of ancient-evil-trying-to-navigate-modern-times would do: he opens up a portal in time & space to summon his most loyal follower and architect of his temples. (Originally submitted to … Continue reading The Final Temple
John the Conman: Or Why One Should Never Impersonate an Old God Upon His Return
The return of Dar’goth had been long prophesied for the latter half of the decade. The old god of unspeakable horrors would soon emerge in the form of human flesh an avatar for his conquest. As Dar’goth would soon march across the countryside carrying with him a tome of unspeakable magic bound by human flesh, … Continue reading John the Conman: Or Why One Should Never Impersonate an Old God Upon His Return
Long Forgotten Face
The house is much like the others around it in this small suburban neighborhood. Copy and pasted in a semi-random arrangement among many other models that had been copy and pasted to give a sense of uniqueness to the owners. I can imagine the thoughts of the owners as they live amongst a community of … Continue reading Long Forgotten Face
Boxed In
This story was originally submitted to this writing prompt on reddit. When I had chosen my desired form of a small wooden box to sit within the castle’s storage room, I did not anticipate the kingdom to fall so swiftly. Just the month after I had assumed the form my potential prey had been either … Continue reading Boxed In
Retirement
I had long dreamt of my retirement. A glorious celebration of my many military victories throughout the ages. A celebration lasting for days or weeks across the empire, perhaps even a day of remembrance eternally etched into time that on this date, we celebrate the many conquests I had fought and won. A testament to … Continue reading Retirement
Pretty Eyes
Another Saturday and other date. A cycle I seemed doomed to repeat for the rest of my life. Not once in the past three years since my break up had I had any luck with women, it was as if Marianne had been my only soulmate and I had to go and screw it all … Continue reading Pretty Eyes
The Bowl
Not sure where this idea came from, but it's something spooky for Halloween. (Who thought that a picture of sugar could spark those thoughts?) https://imgur.com/a/t9KVliO They ate in silence, the air between them only filled with the sounds of their forks and knives as their utensils scraped against the gray porcelain plates. Mike opted for … Continue reading The Bowl
Jack and the Girl
This was originally written as a 7-minute audiodrama for a class I took in script writing earlier this summer. I liked it so much that I decided to adapt to prose. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it. The trees rustled in the brisk breeze that rolled through the park, … Continue reading Jack and the Girl
The Pups in the Yard (Second Draft)
I decided to give this story a second draft treatment because I didn't think my first draft did it justice. A lot has changed between the first draft and the second so I recommend reading this one if you've already read the first edition. Enjoy! The pups roamed the yard, each of their noses pointed … Continue reading The Pups in the Yard (Second Draft)
