Improv 2

Moriz stepped into the revolving door and walked across the lobby, noticing the several chairs hanging upside down from the ceiling. He pulled a pink miniature resin duck from his pocket and placed it in the middle of the escalator as he rode it up to the second floor. He adjusted his backpack, turned to his left, and ascended the stairs, following the hallway around to room 208. Once in the…

Renaissance Poke

Clusters of people walked towards the large castle doors, some older, some quite young, each of them dressed in a wide array of outfits. One by one, each attendee handed their ticket to the guard and was granted passage. Mortals create such interesting lives. Daithi stood there, observing with a warm smile on his face. He snapped his fingers, reached into his sporran, and pulled out a ticket,…

Lingering Passion

The sounds grew louder from the building as she walked past. I don’t even want to see the inside. Amaya quickened her steps and reached the opposite end of the village. A different sound invaded her ears, a familiar one. I almost forgot the grounds were over here. She approached the outer walls, surveyed the area around her, then leaped over, landing quietly on the other end. She stared at the…

Cognizance

A few weeks passed, and Amaya and her mother adjusted to living back in Japan. Amaya struggled to understand the skills of sewing so she took up helping the mistress at the ryokan, cleaning the other rooms, and doing laundry, in exchange for a discounted price on her shared room. “Ah, that his the spot.” Amaya finished her last bite, set her bowl down, and leaned back on her arms, patting her…

Improv 1

Moriz shifted into a lower gear as he decelerated, pulling off the side of the road. He turned into a parking garage and stopped at the ticket machine just before the gate. Once he acquired his ticket, he ascended up the garage and found an open space, parking his car. He turned his engine off, opened the car door, and climbed out, locking up behind him. The young man checked his reflection in…

Passions Update

I would like to start this with an apology. It has been a pretty busy week so I haven’t been able to get a blog written for this week. I’ve recently added a new passion to my list, acting. To combine with my writing, martial arts, and work, I’ve started taking improv classes in order to get closer to acting. We have moved to a new location for martial arts training so that has been an…

Gathering Food

“Now that you’ve finished sewing your clothes,” Ishida sat before her daughter, intense zaffre eyes staring at the young adult. “Tell me what happened, how your clothes ended up torn.” “Well, I was shopping for food like you instructed me.” Amaya bit her bottom lip as she glanced down, avoiding her mother’s gaze. She lightly gripped her thighs with her slender fingers. “But after I bought the…

Familiairity

With the village gate closed, everyone resumed their daily tasks. A few of the villagers carried fishing poles, some of them carried baskets, and others bartered crafted items. With a deep sniff, the scent of fresh fish filled their nostrils, making her mouth water. “They have a fresh batch of fish so we better hurry before they’re all sold out.” Amaya laid her arms by her side and walked…

New Chapter

“Amaya, it’s time to wake up.” Amaya groaned, rolled over, and covered her head with the blanket. “Five more minutes.” “No, you need to wake up now.” Her mother spoke sternly. “We have things to do today.” In a quick motion, the blanket was removed from her slender frame, allowing the cool morning air to brush across her delicate skin. She quickly shot up, glaring at her mother. “What was that…

Website Upgrade

Dear Enigmas, It’s been seven weeks since my last update and I apologize for that, extremely. I didn’t expect this world reworking would take as long as it has. But! I am reworking it and it’s expanded so much within the last few weeks. My beta reader just finished the second book so I should be getting it back shortly so I can work on the second draft. In the meantime, I have created a…

Sudden Shift

There has been an unexpected shift in the universe containing these stories so blog updates are currently being suspended until I am able to organize these realms and get my mind back on track. I sincerely apologize for this and I will do my best to get back on track with these blogs as well as future novels, the universe is ever-expanding and intertwining. I will aim to provide updates as I go…

Kitayama Village

Amaya and Ishida followed the dearth path alongside the narrow stream of water. Birds chirped loudly from the different colored tree tops, fish leaped out of the water, and deer rustled along the fallen leaves. A gentle breeze brushed across their faces, dancing with their scarlet hair. “It’s been so long, I’ve forgotten how gorgeous the lands are during the autumn season.” Ishida broke the…

Return Home

InuShin stood in the large spacious room with a single podium. The chest that once occupied the space now stood a clay sculpture of a humanoid. The frame resembled his own, slightly muscular frame but still relatively thin. Do I mold the sculpture to what body I want? Correct. The voice echoed around him. This will give you the ability to mold your appearance, to remain hidden from enemies and…

NaNoWriMo Month 2022

Konnichiwa, Enigmas. We have reached November, which is National Novel Writing Month. So I will be dedicating the entire month of November to finishing my second book, Elude Misery. I’m currently on chapter 13, the last one, so hopefully, it won’t take too long to finish. I’m still practicing Iaido and Capoeira five days a week after work so it’s definitely pretty busy, plus I start moving into…

Halloween at School

“Trinity, are ye ready?” Moriz hollered from the front door. He tugged on his red kimono sleeves and then glanced into the mirror. A silver wig covered his forehead and cascaded down his back, several locks resting in front of his shoulder. “Almost!” She shouted from her bedroom. “The wig won’t fit right.” “I can help.” He chortled, exited the living room, and walked down the hallway, knocking…

Transition

The young silver-haired man crossed his arms and blocked the incoming punch, staring into his mother’s zaffre eyes. He now stood equal height to her. One-point-seven meters. He grinned, grabbed her wrists, and pulled her close with a knee into her sternum, falling back and tossing her over him with a gust of wind. “Better.” Ishida soared away from him but extended one arm, rotated her wrist, and…

Final Lesson

InuShin inhaled sharply then slowly opened his eyes and saw his mother standing across from him. Her zaffre eyes stared into his, her face void of expression but stern. Even though she was his mother, the intent behind her eyes sent a cold chill down his back. She doesn’t play around, does she? When she was younger, she was quite ruthless. Tapeesa echoed. She quickly became feared by many, not…
