As I chart these blackened seas of speckled light, I find a certain peace of mind I've never known. A peace in danger, of a risky nature, that calms my worry and woe. I have left the Earth and traveled far, with no hope of safe return, and yet I do not fear my certain death...

In the dusty old west a lone mouse struggles to make a name for himself, traveling across a land filled to the brim with dangerous and exciting adventure. Follow along as he comes across the many races of desert creatures such as rats, snakes, foxes, moles, and many more, each with a...
Here is where I will post various short stories I write and or other short works of mine. I'll try to keep it updated fairly frequently if I can, though I suppose it just depends on how often I write and finish things up. Expect prefaces or introductions to most, if not all, of the works...
