Today I cry foul
Tonight I seek redress
Retribution. Revenge.
Not justice, that hollow thing
That exists as myriad interpretations
And holds no true satisfaction
What court? What Jury?
I none to choose for me

Heaven knows, oh heaven knows
How hard I’ve tried
How far I’ve gone
In my struggle, in my battle
To do good, to do right
To stay on the path of righteousness
To make my maker proud.
It is difficult, very difficult
This fight against the curr...

I’m in hell

A soundless scream
Of pain and frustration
Of sorrow and despair
For I am in hell
A miserable place
A terrible place
A horrible place
A place deserving all of them

Hello and good evening to you all,
I am back! Sorry for the wait. Even more sorry for disappointing you. I imagine that some of you might even be a bit angry (the abysmal rating I received in my absence and the near 90 place drop in the overall rankings on royal road made that pretty clear). I...

I am really sorry guys. Initially, I planned to take the week off so I could focus on my interim exams. Given the number (4) I had last week I knew that there was no way I could write and study at the same time. Not if I wanted to do either to any appreciable degree. So I made my announcement and di...

Hello, I would like to beg your indulgence. Midterms are beginning and I would not be able to post any chapters next week. I had hoped to be able to complete Book One before they begun but unfortunately things aren’t going as planned. Just one more week and we’d have been done. If I could, I’d...

Chapter Sixteen: A Hateful Bow
I lost. I lost so shamefully.
Those were the words that kept echoing in Valerian’s head. He was still in shock. When the referee called the match, he meekly went home, ignoring all of the platitudes that were offered him b...
