Descendants #106 – Gal Gallium Chapter 01

Like any big city, Mayfield had its municipalities that had been left behind in the ebb and flow of the economy. Victoria was one of such place; dotted with the hulks of defunct factories like so many shells on a beach after a storm.

There were tracks of residential housing, a few strip malls, and Greater Victoria Park, but most of the space was still taken up by the concrete behemoths too dedicated in design and too sturdy in their construction for anyone to buy and replace or remodel.

The Return of the Descendants

The Descendants are back! With the threat of Maeve and her armies, the superheroes of Earth are preparing in every way possible; from seeking out the scattered artifacts revealed by Avalon to tapping the captured tools of their foes like the Yellow World fragments and especially the Four books. But the villains aren’t going to wait around themselves: Simon Talbot makes a big move while Liedecker takes a new tact: running for mayor of Mayfield!

Prepare Yourselves for the Return

While I hoped to have a full preview ready to show my loyal and long-suffering readers as a birthday gift from me to you, but that will have to wait for the weekend.

But rest assured I’m back and I’m going to start posting new stories.

There will be a few changes to how things are done in terms up update length and frequency, there’s also going to be New Descendants, New Ere stuff and all sorts of new short fiction as I give some ideas I’ve had a whirl.

Watch this spot. Those of you who still wa...

When it rains it pours.

So I’m going to have to reinstall wordpress on the server to fix the old problem, but that’s no longer the biggest problem I’ve got.

Not one month after I got promoted, my project is going to be ended in December and I’m at risk of being laid off. While I’m still working right now, I’m going to have to focus on looking for another job (assuming I don’t get put on a new project) and on getting the World of Ere RPG ready for Kickstarter.

I’m sorry I haven’t been giving you guys the content you...

Not My Fault This Time

I have no idea why, but after I updated Open Office, I can’t copy paste into wordpress.

Update will happen the second I get this fixed.

New Schedule Coming Soon

Okay, folks. So the fact is, a Monday update when I work Sunday and game Monday night is not the best idea and on top of my new position is responsible for the biweekly release schedule I’m providing right now.

Plus, I really want to get back to telling the other stories on this site (Remember Liedecker Institute?) and doing my blog, so I’m going to announce a major change in how I do updates going forward. Hint: it’s how things used to be waaay back ten years ago when I started.

Oh, and than...

Descendants #105 – A Sound Like Thunder Chp 2

That transition was jarring, agonizing. Every muscle in Kareem’s body felt as if it were cramping; every nerve as if it was being cut free from his body.

MayComm’s astral gate had not been designed to transport physical beings across the boundary between worlds. So however it had been reconfigured to do so, it did in the same way a cube of gelatin could be transported through a straw.

He marveled at how the process hadn’t been fatal even as he collapsed from his reeling senses. Somewhere, som...

Descendants #105 – A Sound Like Thunder Chp 1

There was a balcony outside the food court on the tenth floor of the Nichole Farmer Avenue Mall that gave a commanding view of the city clear to the St Anne River that cut it in half. On a bright summer day like the one during which Kareem Utt sat an watched a cargo ship pass beneath the West Truman Bridge, the sun turned many of the glass-faced buildings along that view into columns of brilliant light, completely opposite the mood filling his heart.

He looked away from said view and down at...

Nothing But The Tooth

Ow.

Ow ow ow ow ow.

Update will be late because I have a blinding toothache. Probably Tuesday.
