Tags: Teniel Cae, whose friends called him Ten—and it never took him long to make friends—was currently wishing he was not on an oxygen-based world. If he could breathe through his gills and not his mouth and nose, the fact he was being smothered would be a lot less of a problem. Still, he couldn’t hold it against the Osith currently suffocating him. From what he’d heard, it had been a long time since she’d…
Eden’tza ran a scratching stylus over the papers in front of xem. Xyr colleagues gave up long ago on irritation or confusion with xyr preference for physical documents. No, there was nothing wrong with xyr lightbox; it functioned now as it always had. Not well, because it was government property, and nothing the government provided worked well, per se, but it functioned as intended, much like xyrself. Xe found that xe caught things on paper…
The Sound of Silence There is a place I always come back to. It’s a place in between one stop and another, where no one does anything but traverse. There, people who do stop become invisible to those who continue to move. This fascinates me in a way I can’t articulate and I find myself stopping to witness the invisible.

Her master was gone—or more accurately, she, Kairi, was gone from her master. She’d been with the Moonshadow family for almost her entire life, been with Bezdeh almost her entire life. She’d built a place for herself there. It wasn’t a perfect one, she was aware, but things could have…
I.O.U. Khldom, god of justice, ran an idle finger along the edge of the paper he read. It was thin and weak, cheap paper that was so worn with age–despite only being, by his calculations, under two decades old–that it had to be held in a transparent sleeve to prevent damage. It was court evidence, all of it; all of the miscellaneous papers scattered across his desk were, for a dozen different cases. He rarely…
A Collection of Court Documents Hi! My name is Kairi. I don’t have a last name! I’m starting this journal to practice my handwriting. My new mistress says I can read very well and speak e l o q u e n t l y, eloquently, but my handwriting is u n t e n n a b l e, untennable. She is my brand new master! I was just sold to her today and…
