Rejecting the ‘He Hurts Me Out of Love’ Trope Rejecting the ‘He Hurts Me Out of Love’ Trope By Megan Cutler | November 7, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve been spending my free time playing Amnesia; Memories. It’s an otome dating sim, which means it’s designed for women. All the potential prospects are male. What I like about the game is that each route is its own little romantic mystery. Instead of parading a group of prospects in front of you, the person … Read More Read More
I Trust Your Judgment I Trust Your Judgment By Megan Cutler | November 4, 2016 | Comments 1 comment With a mighty yawn, the tawny-colored cat stretched, letting his claws slip free of their sheaths, though he was careful not to catch them on any of his mistress’s blankets. He was tempted, for a moment, to curl back into the sunbeam, which had shifted a few inches since last he stirred, and return to … Read More Read More
Treasure of the B.C. Coast Treasure of the B.C. Coast By Megan Cutler | October 31, 2016 | Comments 3 comments While we were in Vancouver to experience the Greenheart Tree Walk and the Museum of Anthropology, we decided to visit the aquarium. Because, as I mentioned before, I’m always up for a trip to an aquarium. Since it hasn’t been that long since we visited Ripley’s Aquarium in Toronto, it’s difficult not to compare the … Read More Read More
This is What I Dreaded (Part 2) This is What I Dreaded (Part 2) By Megan Cutler | October 28, 2016 | Comments 1 comment For this prompt, I set myself an extra challenge. For once, I wanted to write some genuine flash fiction. So I composed two 300 word stories (yes, both stories are exactly 300 words). You can read the first one here. The second one is posted below. . . . He stared at the tiny piece … Read More Read More
Space and Dark Space Space and Dark Space By Megan Cutler | October 24, 2016 | Comments 8 comments I’ve been posting writing prompts for a year now. A lot of them are interconnected in one way or another, so it may be time for a little site re-organization. It’s true I am telling stories in fragments, but it may be time to let them be stories. I have been steadily introducing the characters … Read More Read More

Dark Rituals — Available Now! Dark Rituals — Available Now! By Megan Cutler | October 18, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment As promised, the fifth chapter of Eternity’s Empire is here! Two ancient goddesses have taken over the Antarctic dig site and Erica has walked willingly into their trap. That leaves Shima to reunite the guardians and set things right. There’s just one problem; though she can feel power stirring in her breast, Shima can’t seem … Read More Read More
A Taste of the Green Rooibos Sampler A Taste of the Green Rooibos Sampler By Megan Cutler | October 17, 2016 | Comments 2 comments I’ve mentioned a few times that I’ve started drinking loose leaf tea. It’s been a couple months and I can say with certainty it was a good choice. My tea supplies last longer and there are more options available to me. I’m starting to get the knack of how long each type of tea needs … Read More Read More
Short and Sweet Short and Sweet By Megan Cutler | October 10, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment The day this goes live, my little brother will have just finished saying his vows. I will be fresh back from a whirlwind trip to the states (probably and hopefully deeply asleep). I’m sure it was a lovely wedding (though I’m writing in this in the past, so I don’t yet have details). In any … Read More Read More
Their Childhood Their Childhood By Megan Cutler | October 7, 2016 | Comments 2 comments One of my strongest memories is the day I met my father. It happened not long after the death of my mother; a day I can’t forget no matter how hard I try. I thought the mystery of my father died with her, that he would always be a ghost, haunting the edge of my … Read More Read More
