Moving

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:05:20 +0000

Her feet pounded into the ground as she sprinted around her small, claimed land. For the past weeks she had been training full time, barely breaking to eat. Her atrophied muscles had regained their fervor and her body was lean and tone. Her arms had begun to bulge slightly, once more, and her legs were […]

Punishment

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:05:05 +0000

Jumwa’s heavy arm swung backwards, his eyes narrowed furiously as the back of his hand connected with Anjasa’s jaw, sending her flying back, a loud thud resonating through the bedroom as she struck the floor. She blinked a few tears away, scrambling backwards on her hands and feet as he stalked over to her, glaring […]

A Night of the Arts

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:04:32 +0000

A plush, red couch adorned in silver with tiny tasseled pillows sat in the middle of the large, dark room. The windows were high and the silver moonlight poked through the leafy trees, casting an eerie glow on the nearly bare room. The couch was of elven design, of course, and surrounded by tiny, whisking […]

Idryl’s Diary

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:04:25 +0000

Dear Diary, I agreed to move in with J.J. today. Things are complicated, of course. He’s married to Anjasa, whom is of course living with him as well. They’ll be sharing a bed, and I’ll have my own separate bedroom. Just as well for that. I prefer my privacy, after all. I still struggle with […]

Loss

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:04:13 +0000

“Why’s it so bright?” Her eyes were clenched tightly, so tight they hurt, trying to guard off the light. There were figures moving above her; she could see the shadows as they passed over her face. Why didn’t they respond? “Someone turn off the light.” They were talking, but it was muffled. Was it even […]

Things Couples Do

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 01:59:59 +0000

“What about her?” the Troll asked his tiny, elven companion, who responded by quirking a brow and sticking out her tongue. “Are you serious? Look at her! Hardly attractive at all,” she pouted, staring up at his outlined form. The two stood, stealthed and hiding in the bushes off of the road in the Ghostlands. […]

The Jail

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 01:44:14 +0000

Trigger Warning Kaesa, a.k.a. Sunia Frostwhisper, growled angrily, rubbing the developing bruise on the side of her head. She was naked, on a cold rock floor but for a centaur rug, a tiny mattress beside her, no blankets or pillows to be found. The tiny elf looked around for a source of warmth, and finding […]

Pussy Cat Club

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 01:44:13 +0000

The bass and drums of the live band boomed throughout the packed club, cigarette smoke mixing with various herbs in a heavy cloud hovering a few inches above the crowd. A few people sat around on the navy and silver plush benches, though most stood, either surrounding the band or pressing against one of the […]

Murder Row

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 01:19:41 +0000

Golden blonde strands of hair swept around the woman’s face, silken locks licking along her jaw and down to the swell of her breasts, bouncing imperceptibly as she walked. Cool, calm strides, long legs curving from under the short and flouncy black skirt, bouncing with each firm sway of her hips. Her torso was tightly […]

Of Kings and Queens

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:34:29 +0000

There once was a queen named Anjasa who lived in a beautiful castle with servants and maids and people to cook her meals. Her land was vast and she and her husband ruled over it with a strong hand. However, once in a while, the queen and her king wanted escape. So they would go […]

The Change Will Come

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:32:48 +0000

His tanned wrists were bound, expertly, the flesh of the delicate skin pressed tightly together as his hands were drawn over his head, elbows flexed only slightly. His legs were splayed, leather cuffs fastened tightly around his ankles. His body was lean and toned, lithe, the muscles compacted against him, defined but non-obtrusive under his […]

Nightmares

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:29:40 +0000

The blankets were wrapped tightly around her body, wrapped like a rope around her length, bunched up and awkward; the blankets of a fitful sleep. Her face is hot and red, tears streaking down her face and to her pillow, covered in salted tears. She sniffled and slept restlessly, alone in her mid day nap. […]

Puzzle Pieces

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:23:17 +0000

It was just after dawn break when Anjasa stirred in her oversized bed. Easily big enough to comfortably sleep up to six large people, it only held two small elves tonight. She curled into his strong arms and though he shifted at her movements, she quickly coaxed him back into sleep. The room wasn’t big […]

Threats

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:21:21 +0000

“Rah-jah-neee” a voice in the darkness hissed, causing the petite blood elf to stop dead in her tracks, a slow tickle of fear tracing up her spine. She whipped around to the direction of the voice, squinting into the blackness, shadows dancing across the stacks of crates and bags. Ratchet was unusually quiet for the […]

Date Auction Ad

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:20:42 +0000

Anjasa sat down at the kitchen table, the room deathly quiet in the dim twilight. She had sat a small candle in front of her, scented of mageroyal and flame, lighting it carefully. It had been many centuries ago that she had studied in the way of a mage, but she never did stop practicing […]
