Freebie Mondays: Let’s Make it a Game (Story 11 of 22 Stories in 2022) Freebie Mondays: Let’s Make it a Game (Story 11 of 22 Stories in 2022) By Megan Cutler | October 3, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment Since I write roughly 22 stories every year, I thought it might be fun to do a project for 2022. In 2022, the 22 shorts I write for my blog will be taken from prompts related to the 31 stories in 31 days project from January of 2022. Each will relate to the multiverse that … Read More Read More
The Voice of Reason; A Tale of Envy The Voice of Reason; A Tale of Envy By Megan Cutler | November 9, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment Back when I started the Seven Deadly Sins project, I joked that there were probably enough off-shoots of Domerin that I could write a prompt for each sin featuring him. It’s taken some time but I have, indeed, found a Domerin for every sin. The last sin was Pride. (The first one was Wrath, which … Read More Read More
A Night with the Master of Assassins A Night with the Master of Assassins By Megan Cutler | July 27, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment I know that, once again, the last scene technically centered around Domerin. But when the muse speaks… This scene, like some of the others I’ve written, fills a gap in a story I worked on with my writing partner. Whenever only one of us has characters ‘on screen’ we tend to skip to the next … Read More Read More
The Assassin’s Guild and their Dragon-Marked Master The Assassin’s Guild and their Dragon-Marked Master By Megan Cutler | March 13, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I realize, despite previous promises, I haven’t introduced many of my worlds yet. Let’s fix that, shall we? I’ve written excerpts from several worlds drifting around in my head in the writing prompts section, and it might be nice to have a little context for them. I have rather generic names that I use to … Read More Read More
The Seeds of Chaos; a Tale of Envy The Seeds of Chaos; a Tale of Envy By Megan Cutler | January 27, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment “Hello Kitty-Cat.” The way Crescent bristled, Elian could tell the greeting struck the desired nerve. It was easy to imagine the other man in his furred form, hair standing on end, tail swollen to express his aggression; especially when Crescent bared his teeth exactly the way a cat might. Pretending not to notice the effects … Read More Read More
A Sharp Cut A Sharp Cut By Megan Cutler | November 18, 2016 | Comments 1 comment This scene is a direct continuation from both This is What I Dreaded and Midnight Air. . . . “A quick, sharp cut is all it should ever take to kill your target.” It was the first lesson given to every assassin, repeated from the time they were old enough to hold their first knife. … 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
Midnight Air Midnight Air By Megan Cutler | June 24, 2016 | Comments 1 comment Ignoring the gut-clenching fatal drop spread beneath him, Elian planted his foot on the round edge of the skyscraper and leaned further over the abyss. Cool wind caressed his skin. He closed his eyes and let it wash over him. This high, the scents of sweat and garbage thinned, leaving only the iron tang of … Read More Read More
Shallow Breath Shallow Breath By Megan Cutler | March 18, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Elian woke to a tangle of blankets and a flurry of shallow breaths. He knew better than to panic; if there were danger present, he would only offer an opportunity to attack. So he forced himself to lay still, gritting his teeth while his heart pounded in his chest, in his throat, in his ears. … Read More Read More
Domerin; An Introduction Domerin; An Introduction By Megan Cutler | January 18, 2016 | Comments 14 comments I’ve been writing about Domerin for awhile now. He’s one of my favourite characters, largely because he manifests with such strength. I think it’s time to give him a proper introduction. Who is Domerin Lorcasf? (This was made by the lovely and talented Beth Alvarez) Here he is! You may have noticed that Domerin dominates … Read More Read More
