The Defect

Love Will Tie the Slipnot

by T.F. Grognon (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/338577.html) They’re headed for the edge. Arranged in a ring, slowly turning, the four of them shuffle and feint, yell and protest.

Tempestuous

(mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/339246.html) “Judgement is the ultimate reason we are here. Without it as our goal, we have neither purpose nor destination, as ephemeral as ashes in the wind. If we lose sight of our pursuit of the truth we may as well cease to be.” Vic’s construct body exhaled a plume of fake smoke that […]

Café Miel

by Aosora Hikaru (青空ヒカル) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/339825.html) “Hey, August.” I glanced up from my plate, the half-formed thought about how delicious my food was dissipating into thin air.
