Got it

Hugo

“Not that I know of,” Hugo said.

Octavion hung upside down from the printing press. He pulled the lever, seemingly smashing his head with the platen. It went straight through him like mist. “Everything feels, except me. Don’t kill the books, little lady. They won’t take it kindly… They’ll bury you on land, they will… Icky la…[Read more]

Hugo

Hugo gasped, whispering, “You killed it.”

“I’m so sorry!” Nar said.

“I’m joking, you just broke its spine.”

How had the girl gone for a few days without using paper? Had she attended any of the classes?

“Oh, good, it still works.” Nar held it at an arm’s length. “It’s glowing now.”

Before Hugo could grab it, the book glowed a…[Read more]

Not related to writing, but relatable to me

It truly smelled like a nice place. The stationary supplies had a warm glow to them. Racks and bookshelves filled the room to the brim, rich as a glass of sparkling alcohol. A large golden-font poster hung over the front window, advertising a bookbinding guild. This was only one of the many themed shops.

Hugo picked up and hefted a…[Read more]

Please tell me I’m not the only one!

@highscribeofaetherium

I was hoping someone would notice that! I just read Book 1, and it was great.😃

@grcr

Thank you!

@ellette-giselle

Thanks! I like yours too!

Random question: What would you do if you found out you only had a week to live?

Hugo

“No, never been there. The space above the city doesn’t have same scientific mumbo-jumbo as in other worlds; somehow I think it affects us more on the ground than in the sky.”

He reached towards the sky with his hand. He vaguely traced the sun’s path, and left his arm twitching for a moment, as if it were held by someone much talle…[Read more]

Barnes

Barnes stopped and turned to Reid. “In my home, you wouldn’t be able to detect the mask. You would just see a face.”

Hugo began to stir in the bright encasing, but did not wake up.

“That isn’t always true,” the pale commissioner continued. “But I think it supports the idea that we aren’t frome the same… place.”

“You should know I am not a prime specimen of this culture, at least.” Hugo pretended to smugly straighten his vest. “This is a new place for me too. This is more futuristic, by a lot, but some of the places like the soda shop are more my speed.”

@rae

XDXDXD You know what… She sounds like me whenever I leave the house.

Hugo

“Weirdo,” Hugo teased. “Come on, I have to go into the drugstore for a teensy-weensy moment, you can wait out here and I’ll grab it in a jiffy.”

They were on the sidewalk now, and Hugo veered off into the shop at his side. He came back out with a couple paper…[Read more]

YES!!!

Ur good, it happens

Hugo

“Are you still smelling the dumpster?”

Barnes

“Mm…” Barnes began to pace back and forth. She still shifted her vulnerable spots away from others, but relaxed. “We are in close proximity with each other, but this doesn’t make sense because we come from egregiously different places.”

She whipped her head up, tilting it towards the ceiling fresco. “We have been toyed…[Read more]
