Stand-alone Stories

 * Tornado Tango The threat of tornadoes have been a large part of my life. One day I was staring at my tornado shelter and thought to myself "what could make dealing with a tornado worse" and thus the story came to be.


 * The Nature of Dreams After a couple bouts of Sleep Paralysis, I sat down and penned this. I tried to describe how I felt while suffering and turn it into a bit of a story at the same time.


 * The Intrusion


 * Boulder City Prison I had read Prisoner 959 and realized that was the only prison pasta I had read and came to the conclusion that there wasn't a lot, so I resolved myself to writing one. I set about trying to make a story that was open to interpretation and could potentially mess with the reader's mind.


 * Closet Monster


 * Familiarity


 * War-Torn


 * The Endeavor Banning's Demon/Devil Contest itself was the inspiration point for the story. The Joker from Batman also served as a major influence for Abaddon (the Devil). I tried to make the character act how I envisioned the Joker might, thus his sense of humor and constant change of dress to reflect the situation. On another note: The name Abaddon was borrowed from the video game 'Darksiders', a devil-esque boss which was named Abaddon the Destroyer and who resided in hell.


 * Became The film 'Regarding Henry' was the jumping off point for this story. In the film a lawyer, Henry, gets shot while buying a pack of cigarettes from the gas station and ends up in the ICU and unable to speak. Furthermore, the lyrics from 'The Becoming' by Nine Inch Nails mentioned a character who had become emotionless. When I combined those two influences together, I had a cause and effect, plus a story. I was reading the emotional masterpiece and visual novel 'CLANNAD' at the time, so I resolved myself to make a sad story in the same vein as that.
