The instant we touched the cane, we were teleported to a labyrinth. It was wild, like one of those surreal paintings where up was down and left was right. The whole space was made seemingly of sandstone, but ...

Sometimes, I wondered how my life had turned out this way. When I first became Panacea, I hadn’t planned to end up in an abandoned warehouse with a biotinkered fruit. I most certainly hadn’t plann...

I was spat out by the River into a dark basement. I would have loved to portal to my own hideout, but my bug sense extended only so far. It was all I could do to find an empty house nearby. Whoever owned this house would be scraping  blood off t...

LeCroix was dead and I was a hundred grand richer. Well, not quite. Sure, a mercenary, vigilante, and part-time assassin such as myself didn’t exactly operate within the bounds of the law, but even I had bills to pay.

I joined Glynda in the headmaster’s office the next day. Understandably, classes had been canceled for first years. They needed a day to process. Even for huntsmen, a true life or death battle wasn’t a milestone to be ignored.

You know how this works, so have a dad joke:

Asked my son what he learned at school today. He said, “Gay men like Sony, lesbians favor Yamaha, and transgender people prefer Bose.”

Kneeling down I put my hand on his shoulder and replied, “Son, those are just stereo types.”

I adjusted my visor. It covered half my face, but that was because it was also a screen. I couldn’t hear anything when I had it on. Instead, it had mechanical ears that took everything that was said and wrote them out onto my screen.

Aasdier struck with no warning. It was a silent mass that defied easy description. It looked like it was made of smoke and shadows, but that that wasn’t quite right. It could not pass through walls nor squeeze through a keyhole.
