《A Bit of Everything》Wind up Toy
Advertisement
The stress
Of day-to-day events
Slowly builds up
But he’s a grownup
So he keeps it within
Ever mounting, ever growing
He can’t go for long
You know he’s overflowing
Watch him wind up
Movements erratic and stilted
Stuttering and jittering
His worldview has tilted
Say the magic words
And see chaos unfurl
Raving like a lunatic, accusing you of abuse
He’s a hypocrite tying his own noose
Like a volcano, some unstoppable force
But you’re a virtuoso set on your course
You weather a storm you unleashed
A secret smile behind a neutral face
It’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen
You reach out for an embrace
And as the pressure is released
As he begins to wind down
Energy spent, he sighs
On a bed of guilt he lies
He apologizes, you know it’ll happen again
So you leave him to drown
Because he’s a windup toy
To play with when you’re bored

Deeper Darker

Ancient cities, abandoned starships, temples and fortified bunkers all contain artefacts and devices far in advance of what humans have been able to produce. Technology that feels more akin to magic, so powerful it can allow a single person to dominate a star system. But these relics of another time have been left well-defended and behind bewildering and impenetrable security measures.There are those who are compatible with the alien technology, who can augment themselves to face the evermore extreme protocols in the depths of the alien ruins, and by doing so attain greater power. And there are those who just want to sell what they find to the highest bidder.The rewards are high, but you have to be prepared to go further and risk more to discover the greatest secrets of a civilisation that vanished long before the first human walked upright. Secrets that could irrevocably change humanity’s future, or end it.

Artifice: Iysinfyr
Nalulthyn is the young daughter of a duke that is one day asked for a favor. This favor involves the adopted daughter of the duke from a neighboring area. This girl has had a traumatic past and has closed herself off from the world completely and reacts violently when touched by anyone but her personal maid. The duke hopes that a girl close to the age of his adoptive daughter will be what she needs to recover, but things are never as easy as they seem. First is that this adopted daughter is a Terran, a rare being from a different world that has skin and hair as white as snow and an almost alien build. Second is that there is a power to this girl, one that makes her recovery all the more dangerous to Nalulthyn and perhaps beyond. Author's note: This is a soft reboot of Artifice: Tools of the Gods. As I wrote the other story years ago I felt it would be better to do this approach as my writing has changed and improved since then. For now only two characters will return though I might reintroduce others later in the story. Even though this has the gore tag, I don't plan on being excessive with it. Most chapters shouldn't have any. The only reason I have it is to be realistic with the descriptions.
