To Sharpen the Blade Once More (3)
Feeling a renewed sense of purpose after his fight with the iron bastard, Korv returned home to rest and relax. He would eat and set about reading the prose written by the fine folks of his village. Korv made a simple meal for himself. While he enjoyed his treats, Korv knew that excess of anything…

The Kovalenko Chronicles (pt. 11)
Night Moves & The Disregard Of Timekeeping Eva sat in the lonely chair and tried to review her options, which truly, were few. Her head was becoming clearer, but she was utterly exhausted. She had not had a thing to eat or drink in at least several hours, and sleep had come only in fits…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (2)
Korv stared at the mighty hammer before him. He had lifted it so many times before. Surely, his strength had not diminished that much. Confidently, he reached down to grasp it. As his fingers curled around the knurled handle, he proceeded to lift, and… Nothing. The hammer did not budge even a whisper. Korv stared…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (1)
It had been many months since the last campaign, and despite his untimely exile, Korv the Barbarian adjusted nicely to life away from the battlefield. Indeed, he had pressed hard and proven his mettle in countless battles. His downfall had come when he insulted the conniving, self-proclaimed countess of the realm. Korv had realized the…

Sci-Fi Sunday (02/25/24)
Good morning and happy Sunday. Hope everyone is having an enjoyable, restful weekend. The creativity well is a bit dry at the moment, so the pickings are slim. My apologies in advance. I hope what is here is somewhat enjoyable. Have a good one, folks! And, in the, “not quite the cantina band I had…

To The Wolves
Beaten, scarred down to the bone To the wolves I have been thrown Laid out, broken on the ice Jaws around me like a vice Teeth are tearing through the skin A searing pain from deep within Flowing blood, it freezes fast To the wolves I have been cast I thrash about just to survive…

Superhero Saturday (02/24/24)
Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Superhero Saturday, where we indulge our inner child and hearken back to the good old days of Coco Puffs, Comics and Cartoons! Last week was Bat-centric, so this week, I’m going to try and throw a little more variety into the mix. Hope everyone has a great…

Fantasy Friday (02/23/24)
Good day, everyone. Finally we have made it to Friday once again! I hope the week was not too much of a grind and everybody made it through relatively unscathed.

This One Is For You
This is my commentary on my selected image for this week’s No Theme Thursday Challenge. I selected this image: I made this image with my grandmother in mind. The cardinal was always her favorite bird. I hope she would like it. My grandmother was there for me and my mother almost literally from day one.…

No Theme Thursday (02/22/24)

Song Interpretation (02/21/24)
Forgive me while I go off on a tangent here. Like lots of folks do, I was listening to music while I was driving to my class last night, and I had a thought. Not necessarily a good one, but a thought nonetheless. I was listening to David Lee Roth’s 1986 classic album Eat ‘Em…

Wandering Wednesday (02/21/24)
Happy Hump Day, everyone! We’ve once again reached the halfway point and it’s all downhill from here! I hope the week has treated everyone well thus far. It’s time for our weekly wander through the silly images in my head and, of course, through the WordPress Multiverse. Last week, I posted links to a few…

The Kovalenko Chronicles (pt. 10)
The Never Ending Evening As Xi Xiao stormed out of his office, Emil Vasilev let out a long sigh. He studied the cigarette burning between his fingers. He stared deep into the head, gazing hard into the glowing red embers hidden beneath a cloak of grey ash. A bemused grin crossed his face as he…

Meandering Monday (02/19/24)
Good day to all, and welcome to the new week! To those who have today off for the holiday, enjoy! To those who have to work, my deepest sympathies. 😄 This week is the last official week of classes until April, but the instructors said I can continue showing up in March to work on…

The Kovalenko Chronicles (pt. 9)
A Different Approach Xi made her way angrily to Vasilev’s office. She was completely enraged. First, that her subject made her look quite the fool, and second, that her work had been interrupted. As soon as she was done with Emil, she would take care of that annoying little bird once and for all. When…

Superhero Saturday (02/17/24)
Already past the midway point of the month. Where the hell did it go? Damn. Anyhow, happy Saturday, everyone! I hope your weekend is a great one, and if you have plans, I hope they are enjoyable ones. Not much planned around here. Some errands, some writing (What kind of trouble will Agent Eva get…

SLDS Challenge (02/23/24)
Susan T. Braithwaite, I am truly annoyed at you right now. Every damned week, you make these prompts more challenging than the last. Again, this week, I had to fight my way through Hell and Creation to get a decent image for your SLDS Challenge. But at last, I think I have coaxed a reasonable…

Fantasy Friday (02/16/24)
Good day and TGIF, everyone! At this time last week, we were in the midst of spring-like temperatures, and now we’re a bit more back to normal with below freezing temps and wind chills. Next week, my course at the local college wraps up. I may sign up for another course in April. I am…

School Update – 3 Days Left!
Final exam… COMPLETE! So, I ended up being way, way ahead of schedule, and finished the pre-exam 5 minutes in, and the instructor set me up for the final. No, it’s not a diploma, not by any stretch, and there was no ceremony, but this program ran the gamut from very basic computer tasks, apps…

No Theme Thursday (02/15/24)
Good day to all, and welcome to this week’s edition of No Theme Thursday! This week, I am giving the barbarians, gypsies, dragons and sorceresses a break and stepping a bit outside the box. I wanted to challenge myself to work a bit outside my wheelhouse, and hopefully it will inspire some of you as…

The Kovalenko Chronicles (pt. 7)
The Kovalenko Chronicles (pt. 6) Hell Beside, Heaven Within Xi glanced over at Driver and nodded her head toward the door. “You can wait outside. I’d like to chat privately with our guest,” she said flatly. Driver nodded and headed towards the door. “Chat privately” was Xi’s coy way of saying “No witnesses.” Truthfully, even Driver,…
