It was Merrymaker's Day in the splendorous kingdom of Krustivan - and all denizens of the realm, human and non-human alike, knew what this meant. From the stretches of north to south, from west to east, all would parttake in merryment, as white ribbons adorned the houses and flower petals were...
The halls of Igthorne Castle resounded with bristling activity. It was a holiday, the anniversary of the king's crowning. From sunrise 'till late in the night, there was no stopping to the joyous hedonism in which the court indulged in. Servants ran up and down with haste amidst the labyrinthean...
William Shrike limped casually up the stairs of the apartment house. He knocked on the door; no answer. Good. That harpy was away from home, for now that is. He opened the door and shut it closed behind him with indifferent, robotic gestures. Another day, another wasted, meaningless day, he...
