《Mundane Musings of a Misunderstood Mind》CHAPTER 42
Advertisement
I read an interview a while back where a celebrity commented that she didn't fear anything. I thought those were bold words, and I almost admired her attitude except for its utter foolishness. I am not a believer in tempting Fate; it has a funny way of slapping the silly out of us all! The other objection I had to this statement is that I feel that as long as you are alive, you will fear. It comes in many forms; the fear of losing your loved ones, financial loss and ill health. It keeps us in check from harming others and ourselves. There are consequences to our actions and fear of punishment in all walks of life. If we were to live fearlessly, we would leave a trail of destruction behind us.

Lethal Combo (Weapon-Based Martial Arts Adventure)
Quang is a slacker that doesn't have much going for him except for his skills in Chinese kickboxing and his proficiency with a pair of nunchucks. Selene is broke but still manages to overestimate herself. The fact that she's knows Hapkido and how to handle a set of tonfas doesn't help either. Together, they're going to get into a lot of trouble. Just like everyone else in the sweltering West Coast city of Isla Lucrecia, Quang Nghiem is struggling to get by. His family’s business can’t make ends meet, his childhood friend has vanished without a trace and the self-imposed local “Union” threatens to tear down the family restaurant if they can’t pay their dues. Fortunately for him, part-time lifeguard and fellow out-of-practice martial artist Selene Olwagen has nothing better to do and is more than willing to help Quang track down his missing friend. However, there’s more lurking in the shadows of Isla Lucrecia than typical street gangs and criminals. Almost every chapter will have illustrations to accompany it. Heavily inspired by fighting games and classic martial arts films. Expect that kind of tone of going in. Updates twice a week, (mostly) on Wednesday and Saturday. Illustrations and covers were done by Ati: www.instagram.com/serious_ati/ Check out more art of Lethal Combo and my other projects here: www.instagram.com/fgc_checkmate/

Still as Water
Flint is a fire magician, yet, like others who pursue fire for their lives, he ends up burning himself from time to time. He understands his nature and wants to refine himself into a greater person, for his own sake, and of those close to him. But things don't go as expected during an experiment. Note: While it's tagged with gore, it isn't the focus, though it may happen at some points. Cover art: "Kayaking at Hickory Point" by FreeWine is licensed under CC BY 2.0

A City of One
A three-part story about a mad scientist, a child of death, and a man plagued by imminent doom. Part 1: He's the last man on earth, and it's all his fault. The time counts down as Cain fights against the remains of a fallen world in order to complete a mysterious mission. Where did all the people go? What is Cain's goal? Find out in "A City of One." Author recommendation: This story is best read slowly with sad music playing in your ears. (The Interstellar soundtrack and the song Undaunted, by Audio Machine, are some excellent tone-setters for this tale.)
