I’ve been doing some world building… and I fell down a rabbit hole of Wikipedia articles and lists. I have collected the lists of Folkloric and Mythological creatures I have found this time. I will most certainly be returning to this topic for more research… so do keep an eye out for more on this… Continue reading Folkloric and Mythological Creatures
*Author’s note: This is a 2 part response. If you have yet to, please read part 1. The spiritual ache of stretching to his astral projecting limits would have been hard to describe to someone who had never experienced it. It was a hollow ache in the chest or stomach, much like that of someone… Continue reading WPR 20 – Part 2 – An Opportunity
He skimmed over the frosted landscape. Skimming wasn’t difficult. It had come to him naturally, or so his tribe’s shaman had told him. As soon as he saw a spot within his sight, and had thought of being there, he was there. Skimming was literally travelling at the speed of thought. It was the most… Continue reading WPR 20 – Part 1 – Stretched to the Limit
It had been a long trek across the desolate wilderness. This part of the world seemed to have very little visible life beyond the inhabitance of peoples, leaving him with a strange feeling of being lost.

The door bell rang. “Honey, can you get that? It’s probably your parents,” she called out, walking briskly to the bathroom, her calm, barely maintained. As she closed the bathroom door, the hallway filled with voices, nasal g’day’s and how are ya’s passing around. She could just imagine the shoes trampling dirt from outside, as… Continue reading WPR 18 – One Last Time

Shade provided some mild relief from the sizzling of your skin, but the ground… Continue reading WPR 17 – A Traitor’s Death

The throngs of people in all their variety and diversity, pressed in from all sides, creating a feeling of belonging to something greater,… Continue reading WPR 15 – Cursed Apricots
The bright sun shone through the purple canopy high above the heads of the walkers in the ancient forest. Both young and in their twenties, the man and woman strolled across the violet grass and yellow dirt. He was tall with his mechanical legs glinting in the sunshine, she was willowy and graceful. The ground… Continue reading WPR 14 – Dreams of Walking
