Stars Blazed in the Night Sky Stars Blazed in the Night Sky By Megan Cutler | September 30, 2016 | Comments 2 comments It wasn’t much of a planet. Actually, it isn’t a planet, Dragon interrupted in the tone he’d come to consider ‘helpful.’ Rather than a flash of annoyance, Kantis couldn’t help but smile. Right. Well, I suppose if you think of it as a moon, it’s got a lot going for it. It wasn’t a barren, … Read More Read More
A Year in Review A Year in Review By Megan Cutler | September 23, 2016 | Comments 1 comment This prompt marks one year of weekly story-telling. As such, my writing partner and I agreed that we should do something a little special. The ‘prompt’ therefore came to include as many references to past prompts as possible in the scene. We both had very different approaches and agreed it was a fun exercise. I … Read More Read More
The Many Forms and Faces of Cazella The Many Forms and Faces of Cazella By Megan Cutler | September 19, 2016 | Comments 2 comments Since I started posting the writing prompts I’ve been doing for fun and practice, I’ve tried to introduce all the main characters who appear in them. So far we’ve talked about Domerin, Rose and Zita, three of my oldest and most prominent characters. Another character that crops up quite often is Cazella (in fact she … Read More Read More
Nightmare Nightmare By Megan Cutler | September 16, 2016 | Comments 2 comments A sea of tall grass swayed in the stiff breeze. Colored blossoms bobbed and danced between the stalks, bright splotches of color like dots of paint still wet from the artists’ brush. Sunlight filled a sky empty of clouds and bluer than she’d ever seen. On the corner of her vision, Domerin Lorcasf stooped to … Read More Read More
Obsession Revisited Obsession Revisited By Megan Cutler | September 9, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Domerin’s smile faltered and he rushed to replace it with a false approximation. His partner was sensitive to his moods these days, especially those remotely negative, and he wasn’t in the mood for another argument. For months Kail had gone on about the Winter Solstice Ball in the capital, so enamored with the idea of … Read More Read More
Stuck Stuck By Megan Cutler | September 5, 2016 | Comments 2 comments I’m waiting for a phone call. I hate this kind of waiting. It ties my insides into knots. I fidget and try not to focus on the subject I’m waiting to speak about, but it invades every aspect of my consciousness. Butterflies fill my stomach and my heart pounds in my chest. I tell myself … Read More Read More
Time Sensitive Mail Time Sensitive Mail By Megan Cutler | September 2, 2016 | Comments 3 comments Beneath the half-finished designs of a wedding dress, beside the discarded plan for a new type of directed explosive, sat a half-finished letter. Ves plucked it from the pile of disorganized chaos, folded it carefully and tucked it into the envelope with the rest. That left only the final piece of correspondence. She had spent … Read More Read More
12 Hours Before the End 12 Hours Before the End By Megan Cutler | August 26, 2016 | Comments 3 comments “This isn’t goodbye.” Domerin couldn’t blame his daughter for her skeptical expression. She had taken one look at him when he said Hello, Sunshine, and her face had turned ashen pale. Her demand to know what was happening was a reasonable one, but the answer was complex and he had never been good with words, … Read More Read More
Stop Leaving Bodies in the Kitchen Stop Leaving Bodies in the Kitchen By Megan Cutler | August 19, 2016 | Comments 2 comments “Son of a-” Kestrel announced his arrival to the kitchen with a loud thud. Silkfoot echoed it moments later as he tried to stand and smacked his head against the interior of the cupboard into which he’d been leaning. He grunted, rubbed the sore spot on the side of his scalp and carefully extracted his … Read More Read More
Curse of Chronos – – Available Now! Curse of Chronos – – Available Now! By Megan Cutler | August 18, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment My apologies to anyone who has been waiting for chapter three of Eternity’s Empire. When my computer died this summer, it threw a lot of things into chaos. I hoped to pull it all back together in time for the release but, alas, it didn’t happen. So I’m sorry about the extra week of waiting. … Read More Read More
