Your rain (announcement)

Humankind sent probes and satellites to space and those objects flew through the vacuum until it crashed an asteroid. Those probes carried a time capsule containing worldly knowledge. An asteroid kept traveling, hitting more and more technological objects, came to a trail of space junk, gained mass and magnified the surface which attracted more and …

Nighttime blabbering 375

I have nothing to report for tonight. Work is work, pretty usual and fun. I am currently writing a game script, a dialogue for game characters that bring their stories to the mix, thus giving a special feel while playing. The game is an old one, called Jagged Alliance 2 and so far I learned …

Nighttime blabbering 374

The job I took is going very well. All other projects are on hold and I might not be able to make an illustration for a story meant to go on Pateron for this month. I'll have to make a good announcement as this next story is an experimental piece going well into military science …

Just Ashley (story and critique)

Just Ashley By Shawn My parents are kind people, always available to help, generous, virtuous. On the day I was born, they rushed to the hospital, made my father wait in the hall while the mother was in delivery. I heard a story of her smile when she heard me cry, and doctors and nurses …

Nighttime blabbering 370

Well, I got my sister, her husband and their kids here with me during the holidays. I haven't wished for a present, but I got one, to be with my family. Kids have grown, and we can have a proper conversation which is a fun exercise to see how their brain works. Their logic is …

Eulogy for 2019

I can' believe it didn't survive to see its birthday. Isn't it sad for a year not to make a full circle like us, humans? Please, hold the tears. We must stay collected and move on. I believe that 2019 would want that for us to do. I hold this eulogy for an old year, …

Nick the Red (reloaded)

In the dawn of war, there were many that followed the Order of Hope. The great calamity descended over the shinny beacon and our ranks were decimated. There are only a few of us left, so we went into the darkness to conceal our existence. Others desperately tried to find us looking for the clues …
