by Renaissance Makoto J. (ルネサンス・真・J) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/326545.html) Snazzy spy music plays as a villain emerges from the shadows! Before him, his target is cloaked in darkness.

Narcissus
written and illustrated by Iron Eater (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/319917.html) I can’t give you exact details, but at the time of the original incident I was living at an undisclosed address in the backwoods of Appalachia.

What Friends Are For
by Matao Torakka (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/320195.html) Backstage is generally a rowdy place, particularly once the show is over and no one needs to be sober enough to perform, particularly after a special event like the Halloween show, particularly when regular performances closed six months ago and this is the first time they’ve all played together since.

What Found Me in the Undercroft
by SeishinNoUwagi (精神の上着) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/320852.html) Varrigboy Castle was neither the furthest destination I’d pursued in the line of my employment, nor the most difficult to reach, but before its towers rose above the horizon I already felt lost at the ends of the earth.

The Red Hood and the Bad Wolf
by Ryoko21 (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/321046.html) A long, twisting road led into the darkest part of the forest. About two miles down the weaving road, the leafless trees started to grow less dense.

Hunter
by shukyou (主教) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/321640.html) Maybe it was supposed to make everything look like night in movies, milky blue but still bright enough to cast shadows. Rian couldn’t think of another reason for the cobalt neon lights under the bar. They shone off the tops of his black shoes and made everything look somehow distant, […]

The Shadow in the classroom
by Hyakunichisou 13 (百日草 十三) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/322751.html) The village’s two blocks formed a figure eight. Duncan drove around it a few times, getting the lay of the land. Main drag, lined by Victorian brick in various stages of neglect and restoration. Left past the feed co-op and the stone foundations of the long-ago mill, left […]
