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. It was a beautiful place, nothing but green during the day and deepest, most light-swallowing black at night, with plant life […]
The Bridegroom
by Oishi Maki illustrated by Uehara Kazushi (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/320463.html) [Author’s Warning: Disturbing content.] When Wolfram says his prayers in the dark, he thinks of Magdalena. She haunts him. She sits on the shoulders of his every intention, of everything he tries to do. He finds Isengrin sitting outside her locked doors, chin in his hand. […]
Castillo de Cruzito
by Riba (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/320756.html) Ion stood in the open doorway looking into a 3rd year class at Castillo de Cruzito, his university’s campus in Spain, where he was finishing up the last semester of his international exchange program. He scanned the room, feeling himself flush as the ten students and professor stared at him accusingly […]
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 boat tipped beneath me, spray stinging my eyes like angry […]
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. The thorny underbrush started to thin, and eventually gave way to a circular clearing, ringed on three sides by thick, ominous trees. In the […]
A mon seul désir
by Reddoraion no ōjo (レッドライオンの王女) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/321314.html) It is a cooling, chilling time of year, a time of falling leaves. People listen to stories told around crackling orange fires and believe curious things. Strange things still sometimes happen. The travelers have roasted a rabbit, eaten the sizzling meat until they are full and finished with […]
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, […]
Ectoplasmic Manifestation
by Aosora Hikaru (青空ヒカル) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/322339.html) thunk. Seth looked up as the paper landed on his desk, folded up smaller than their student ID cards. He glanced over to his left at Tanner, who laced his fingers behind his head and reclined with a smug smirk on his face. “The fuck, dude,” Seth hissed as […]
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 […]
