"Don't be afraid," said your mother. Blood formed beads on her face and her tears formed pools of agony. The image of war, the sudden urge to kill, has never been so potent. This is a story that informs you that not all stories have a happy ending. Based in Afghanistan, a story created for EndMaster's culture clash contest, and we intend to expand the story after that is over.

We apologize for the bad grammar, we ran out of time to proofread. Feel free to tear it apart and we hope you have fun reading it! (For fun you can try to guess which parts stargirl wrote and which parts Abgeofriends wrote)

Edit, I have fixed a few things but mainly want to re-post this because I want to.

Just writing things when I'm bored. Putting it here because it's the only good writing site, and I might change this into an actual story later. :)

You play as the new Empress Vira in the kingdom of Magnicollis with her horse Cupcake. Your mother has just died and you have to take the crown. Stay loyal to your horse and try not to kill everyone in your kingdom... or do. 

This is an entrey for Endmaster's prompt contest. I got the prompt "A story of a lunatic empress... with a fondness for horses." I didn't spend very much time writing it and I didn't have time to proofread, but hopefully it's still decent enough to be enjoyable. 

Edit: I fixed the horse pronouns because I was bored in class. 

Just a fun little project for when I'm bored. Experimenting with poetry.

I doubt it's Abgeo because he goes by he/him pronouns now, and I didn't tell him about my becoming a daughter. You're right, they do sound suspiciously alike though. 

Thanks! Yeah, when I agreed to fight Chris I was certainly expecting to be destroyed. I really enjoyed his entry though, and I think if he had utilized the word count just a little bit more, he definitely would have beaten me. 

Yep! Surprisingly enough, it was last used in 1977, one month before Star Wars came out. 

This is such a good movie. I was watching it last night. 

Thanks for another great article! I always look forward to these.

Yeah, I'm really lucky. I live in the middle of the woods.

Even just staying inside and listening to music works for me too. :)

I usually try to take a small break from writing to refresh my brain. I'll go on a run outside or something else of a similar vein. When I was in the middle of writing my Thunderdome entry, my brain stopped working, so I went outside, climbed a tree, and listened to music for about 30 minutes. Then, when I came back, it was much easier to get words down. 

Congratulations RK! And thanks to Milton for being honest. I look forward to the usual edition tomorrow. 

Thanks Avo. This is awesome. :)
