By Derek Roberts

“No Respite Involving Pizza” involves a man named Ben whose day off isn’t going exactly as planned. In hopes of having a nice relaxing day with some cheap pizza, he calls around, but it seems luck might not be on his side. Read how he copes with his hunger while preserving his wish.

“Matt: Succeeded but Unfinished” Meet a man on a mission of peril and duty. Delivery isn’t just a job to this company and their workers as readers meet Matt during one of these deliveries and journey with him. Read about his struggle, climbing up a perilous tower, and how a man's last delivery breaks the chains around his mind.

“A Figure Forgotten” Sanders is a well-practiced doctor with a very good track record. He is patient and kind with his charges and does all he can to help them. However, there is one patient that tugs on his heart much more than others. Watch him struggle with his own emotions as he does his best to guide this patient.

“Party Quarrels” is an excerpt of a conversation with a party of adventurers having an argument after a battle. One talks of betrayal while another talks of necessary sacrifice while, yet another can see the middle ground. Weapons drawn, the wicked edges pointed at each other, the tension thick enough to cut.
