《Dreams Recounted》#31 | Scholarly
Advertisement
I walk into my school carrying a bag on my back. The school has changed incredibly from the usual layout. Lines of lockers are randomly spread around the school ground, the lockers against standalone walls that slope at the top.
From a birds eye view of the school there is a square of classrooms as a border with no other buildings. Everything is inside the confines of this border and there is no roof or walls. Just to the right of the entrance is a waiting room.
I pass this waiting room and walk up to the window of one of these classrooms. The inside of the classroom is almost empty of people with only a single person sitting at a desk in the middle staring at the whiteboard at the front looking bored.
I knock on the window to grab her attention, and once I do, I throw up a middle finger at her and run off before the teacher in the classroom catches me. Returning to the waiting room I descend down some stairs, skipping every second step, through a doorless doorway into a hallway that I can't see the end or roof of.
The hallway is lined with doors from the ground to up in the sky, all packed together offices. I stroll down the hallway for a few seconds to get to my personal officer. Everyone in the school has their own unique one. I enter the office to get my officer to sign off on a permission slip for my leave before I return to the waiting room to sit down and wait for my friend to get out of class, dropping my bag at my feet.
The waiting room itself is in the right corner closest to the entranceway of the school. The four rows of chairs face towards the entrance. Behind the chairs is the previously mentioned doorway and to the left is a wall with hundreds of fans connected to it, all spinning at different speeds. Just in front of the fans bolted to the wall and floor is a grate to prevent people from injuring themselves on them. An eerie blue glow emanates from the wall.

After some time the girl from before stands at the entrance and catches my attention. She is wearing a plain white button up shirt tucked into a black skirt, suspenders and a bow tie. I slowly stand up, put my bag on my back and walk up to her.
She says if that's how slowly I get up she feels sorry for my future lover. I respond that at least I'll have one, she shoots back that she would actively avoid whatever found me attractive. This back and forth continues as we exit the school together.
…
We end up in the hallway of a shopping centre, stores to the right and left of us all closed and boarded up. The shopping centre is dark as if it’s closed. This hallway continues forward before turning left into another hallway, the corner of the turn is angled and on this wall is a shop.
This shop is different from the others with a few steps that reach from end to end providing a way to the entrance. The shop front has no way to look inside beyond the entrance, the front decorated like a monster with a circular mouth with sharp teeth being the entrance and tentacles randomly spanning outwards from this centre.
We enter this shop and inside is an empty, cozy looking café. To the right is the unmanned counter with stools tucked under a lip. This counter is split in two lengthwise with one half being a sort of tray, filled with coffee beans. On these coffee beans are three evenly spaced cups.
We both put on aprons and go behind the counter to make two coffees. We both make these drinks talking to each other and joking about random things. After making these drinks we make a design in the drink to decorate it and just for fun.
To get back at her for her previous statement I remark that if that's what she calls topping I feel sorry for her future lover. She chokes on her drink a bit before putting it down to retort.

Millennial Mage (A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy)
The world is wild, untamed. Humanity thrives, but only in isolated, well defended cities, ever shrinking as the wilds slowly reclaim all that was taken. The most capable magic users are raised up as Mages to serve mankind, further their cause, and defend them over the course of millennia. Tala is freshly graduated from the magic academy and determined to make her own way in the world. She hopes to pay off her massive debts, quickly, but still plans on living each and every day to the fullest. Too bad the Academy left some glaring holes in her practical education. Loath to let that slow her down, and with no patience for a standard, low-paid apprenticeship (intended to fill many of those knowledge gaps), Tala strives to learn and improve as rapidly as she can on her own. Her unorthodox methods for preserving her own life allow her to take greater risks in search of profit and advancement, much to the surprise of those around her. I do hope you enjoy this tale, but let me know what you think either way! Critique, both positive and negative, is welcome.
