The Protector — Gabriel Mai

“A piano? This is a piano?”

Gabriel touched it gently, dust flying into the air. He jumped back defensively as an off-tune note rang in the air from the key he pressed.

“Is that normal?” He watched the piano like a curious kitten, not sure if they should attack, ignore, or play with it.

“Dunno why they’d put a piano in here. I wonder who they are.” Lucy couldn’t tell if they had returned to ground level – after taking the door that led into earth – or if they were in the labyrinth’s basement. The floor had sloped slightly as they walked, sometimes up and sometimes down. Even here, her internal compass was…[Read more]

That was lovely. Your descriptions are so pretty, and it’s such a tight piece of short fiction. Hopefully you don’t regret posting it anymore because we appreciated reading it.

Gabriel nodded. “Good.” He stood, the voices that still had been whispering in his head that day were quiet as he had bound up her arms, but now they returned, a constant noise slowly driving him insane.

@rae

Lucille

The darkness was warm and comfortable in comparison to the outdoors, where they had wandered in the clammy mist for so long. Protector’s blades glowed like light through rose-colored glass. He turned them over in his hands and his hair lit up, twice as red, almost artificial.

His question finally registered. Lucy shrugged. She h…[Read more]

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

Gabriel nodded, backing closer to the door, before spinning around, tumbling inside with Lucy and shutting the hatch, darkness enveloping them as the crow’s talons scraped against the rough metal, their screeches of frustration cutting through the fog outside.

Inside, the air was stale but strangely w…[Read more]

I’ve made this one specially to represent me

I try to stick to the middle ground, but occasionally I forget and it’s the funniest thing ever
