As I try to move forward, I notice that my hands are wet, red with my blood. I must have been terribly injured because I now notice the puddle of blood that I have been lying in. It is nearly impossible to lift myself up onto all fours. One shuffle at a time, I crawl…

I am now surrounded by fire, smoke, and ashes. I can barely see in front of me, and it hurts to breathe. Our world is on fire, and I am afraid that I have caused it. While resting my head on my arm, I notice that there is a place only a couple of feet…

AZ4 and I are standing at the bow of the ship, the wind blowing in our hair. The sun is setting, a luscious orange and crimson red decorate the sky. We are currently on the pirates ship, the same one that teased me earlier expresses “well I see you’ve found your lover, I guess the…

As we walk into the town hall of the Floating City, crowds surround us beneath the speaker platform. AZ4 expresses the unfortunate passing of their parents, and the citizens’ leaders.

The rest of your evening is as uneventful as the remainder of your days are. You spend your time indulging in the simple pleasures of life – the finest foods, leisurely pastimes, and of course revelling in your god given gift as you soar through the clouds.  However, beneath the superficial existence in a seemingly…

You fly towards the centre of the city on a noble quest to find some answers about a very suspicious event you witnessed. You’re prepared to demand answers from someone in that building and as a civil servant they should be thrilled that you’re exercising your rights. You move through some B.S. bureaucratic chain of…
