The False Prince and the True

by shukyou (主教) illustrated by beili The throne room looked different from this angle: an inch or so off the floor, with a guardsman’s shiny leather boot pressed against the back of his neck.

Obsidian Devil and the Dead Man’s Hand

by H.P. Lovecock (力。下。愛ちんちん) illustrated by beili New Mexico Territory, 1859 I’d rolled into Last Ditch three days back, horseless and little more than a rucksack and the rags on my back.

Summer Heat

by Tamari Erin (玉里えりん) illustrated by beili   Alain lazed on the rattan chaise longue by the edge of the pool. One of his feet dangled off the chair and he watched the ripples spread out from where he dipped his toes in the water. The weather was so beautiful—it was dry and hot, and […]

by beili (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/349388.html) I opened my eyes in the backseat of a car, to the unmistakable dizziness that comes after being sedated. Someone had been thoughtful enough to tie my hands in front. The engine was idling, and the driver went down pretty easily, unconscious. I was dragging him out when everything went dark. […]

Possession

by Tamari Erin (玉里えりん) illustrated by beili (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/350270.html) The birds erupt from the wheat fields with the suddenness of a falling blade. One moment Sebastiano is staring up at the vivid blue of the summer sky, and the next all he can see is a maelstrom of black feathers, circling the convoy like a […]

Mystery in the Adirondacks

by Okamoto Shin illustrated by beili (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/341415.html) It started with my sister, Clementina Demetria Winslow, the poor thing, although we all called her Dot.

Terra Cotta

by Kuruma Ebi (車エビ) illustrated by beili (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/328532.html) D – 10 With Myung-soo, Yeol learned how to dream. But first Yeol learned how to sleep. Not the optimally timed naps that he used to take just for the utility of it, but the heady sleep of a child, face slack and limbs everywhere. Indulgent. […]

Flowers in the Jungle

(mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/315973.html) Ray tried to contain a shudder as his wife, Pamela, dipped a wooden bowl into a mass of squirming grubs and handed it to him before taking one for herself. He smiled at her, doing his best to maintain his fake look of love and adoration. Only eight more years until the pre-nup […]

The Funambulist

by Hikaru Yamaguchi illustrated by beili (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/312391.html) “Didn’t anyone ever warn you about carnies?” Someone probably should have, I think. But if they had, I probably wouldn’t have listened anyway. * * * * * “The next performer is a spellbinding sensation so flexible you won’t believe his body and you won’t believe your […]

You Wanted Love But I Wanted You

by Lola Mente (鱸蘿 牝手) illustrated by beili (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/309674.html) Lee wakes up alone, not as uncommon for him as most would believe.
