- Hello?
- Hum h-hello, Nathan?
- Ah Patience, thanks for calling.
- Yes well, I certainly.. owe you that much f-for saving my life, al-although Im m not s-sure what you… expect me to…
- I talked to the others and I know there are more of those things out there.
- Those, uh th-things you say?
- You know what I mean. The Eaters? Your flesh eating kidnapers?
- Enough!
- …
- Sorry, habit. Hmm. Ass-ssuming you are.. right, what do you expect me to do exactly? Im… just a nurse.
- Just a nurse huh? By the way I talked to Sarah recently, she said that the doctors are all dazzled by her incredible recovery. They say she should have bled to death before she reached help, and that when I talked to her in the ER she should have been deeply asleep. They were amazed. A real miracle. You wouldn’t know anything about that would you?
- Do not talk about miracles s-so lightly. Faith can d-do a… lot.
- Ah yes, but here faith had a helping hand. Have you noticed anything unusual about you recently? Related to your care of patients.
- . I.. Huh. I d…dont know where you are going with this.
- Where Im going is that there are other eaters out there and they need to be stopped. I’m trying to get a group together. If you can do what I believe you can do you would be a huge help to us.
- I appreciate what you are doing, Mr Nathan, I truly do, but I have a husband and five kids and more patients than I can shake a stick at and I will not drop all of this to go hunting demons with you. I am not a warrior.

- I should have worked on my pitch, I assumed that it would be easy to convince you guys.
- You c… You called Seren too?
- Yes she rejected my offer.
- I am s-sorry Mr Nathan but I c… really can’t… help you. My husband threw a f-fit when he opened your package. I am still trying to ca- to calm him down, he thinks I’m in trouble.
- Maybe he should learn boundaries, that package had your name on it, not his.
- I d’… I dont appreciate your lessons.
- Ok fine, whatever. Just remember that the eaters kidnapped you on purpose and there are still other out there. You do your things and keep this phone at hand for when they come back, ok? Because they will
- I… Yes. I will. Im sorry… Nathan. I can see you really want to help. I will pray for you, but I’m sure the police will protect us if those… Things… come back.
- We both know they are not equipped to protect you against that. Keep the phone at hand. Goodbye Patience.
- Wait! Are they.. Are those things demons?
- Not in the way you mean. If you change your mind you know how to reach me.

The Adventures Of Heegan, Bleegan, Hoogan, and Bloogan: The Search For The Enchanted Toad Of Delarmir
This is a tale of four young goblin brothers, whose adventures and calamities are told as legends and jokes throughout the land. But they were first inspired by legends they heard, before ascending into one themselves; a reminder that simple beginnings can be the start of something great. Written for my D&D 5e party after they demanded I write an actual story about a children's book they found in one of our sessions, so I wrote it as it would appear in game as a childrens story. I took a very different approach on writing it, so do not be too disappointed when you find out it's not written at first grade reading level. Feedback is much appreciated, as I have never produced anything like this and I do hope I manage to entertain at least a few of you. New chapter releases to be within 3-5 days of one another (Work is now complete, do not expect new chapters).

Immutable
The world went to hell in a handbasket. Overnight, something called the Allworld downloaded itself into the universe and everything but the kitchen sink appeared to end the planet. Governments fell and chaos reigned. People were left to fend for themselves. Of course, that's not, like, a bad thing. Pollution is at an all time low which means no more global warming. And all that corrupt bureaucracy is gone now too. Which means all those evil people refusing to do something about our dying planet are gone. Plus, people got superpowers. Which is, you know, pretty sweet. Of course, they can't be normal superpowers, everything but the kitchen sink was thrown in after all. Caleb is immutable, unable to physically change in a world completely changed; Alex was granted a system that talks to her in cat puns, but also gives her power over all cats; Nathan met a god of impulse, who gave him powers because he felt like it; and June is given a power to make things lazy, something opposite to her personality. The four of them meet by chance while hunting monsters. They met by chance but must learn to work together when an empire from space lands on Earth with the intent to subjugate the surviving humans.
