OLD - Week 1 Day 1 Morning

(Note, this is the New first Chapter)

 Seth watched as Lorus held the sword to the man with the hat’s throat, they were both glaring daggers at each other, the man with the hat’s men were tied up behind him were gagged, probably for good reason as muffled shouting could still be heard. The man with the hat spoke up “Lorus, you don’t need to do this, I got a kid back home” Lorus just stared at him coldly and whispered in his ear, “So do I” as he plunged the sword through his neck. His colleagues exclaimed at Lorus, the man with the hat choked once, then collapsed to the ground. Lorus beckoned to his men and they brought up one of the man with the hat’s men. “Now you too, will die” Lorus said to the man, he raised his sword and as he brought it down, Seth jumped in front of the swing, trying to block the sword with his arm, the sword met his arm and...
Seth woke up.
“Another nightmare?” he said to himself, as he rubbed his forehead. Seth decided not to dawdle and pulled himself out of his hammock, he went to the front of his cart and moved on out of the woods.  Today he decided to make some money and go to Macewood to sell his loot. His cart rumbled down the dirt track slowly, Seth was eyeing up the bushes and ditches on either side of the road for bandits. However he did just so happen to miss one hiding in a tree. The bandit jumped down onto the cart and Seth whirled around just in time to duck under the bandits boot as they tried to kick him. Seth lunged at them from his chair, and fell on top of the bandit. Seth grabbed a nearby pipe and pressed it into the bandit's face, pinning them to the floor of the cart. The bandit pulled off their mask to free them from the pipe, revealing to Seth that this bandit was a lady. This took Seth off guard and gave the bandit a second to kick Seth off of her. He was pushed backwards, ending up just shy of falling off his cart, which was still moving. Seth slapped the control panel and the cart skidded to a halt, throwing the bandit off her feet, she hit her head on the way down. Seth went over her as she was lying dazed on the floor, and picked her up from under her arms and piled her off the back of the cart, he searched her and found 2 gold in her pocket, Seth decided to leave it on her. He also gave back her mask. Seth climbed back onto his cart, restarted and resumed his journey.

The Soldier, Sunny Side Up - Part of the Bag of Beginnings

This is the story of Corporal Jash Masterson, and how he survived world war 3. A Smoothie of Comrades- I was tucked into my bunk when the first bombs fell. The ground trembling around me, I heard loud noises from within the compound as some of the ceiling caved in. I flung myself from my bunk, and legged it down the corridors. The corridors I knew so well, rushing past me as I charged forwards, the piercing wails of the alarms cutting through the chaos. I was one of the first to make it to the kit room, a few others made it in before the ceiling collapsed outside the door. The hardened walls and roof of the kit room, made us all feel better. In the room with me were; Captain David Hams, Lieutenant Laura Barnsley, Corporal Gregory Smithers and Madam Cornblower, one of the Compounds cooks. We all stayed silent for the first five minutes, except for the still screaming alarms, recovering from the sudden start, breathing heavily. I stood up and made my way to one of the cases and ...

HMSS Pangolin Prime Chapter 8

(I'd actually written this ages ago but forgotten to post it, and yes, it is a bit short) Chapter 8 It was dark, darker than I had expected. I switched on the light for my suit, and visually checked myself, I had avoided the teeth and was totally intact, even if I was inside a space monster. The muscles and sphincters were moving me downwards, towards what I supposed would be its stomach and frankly I would rather not end up in there. I still had my knife, which I then used to latch onto the inside of the monster's throat, and for a short while it continued trying to swallow me, creating a large gouge in the wake of my knife. I could feel the vibrations of it roaring in pain. climbing back up the creature's gullet was no easy feat, but I made it back to the mouth. I looked down at my gear and remembered my jack! This Jack was designed to hold lift doors open during repairs, but it should suffice to hold this creature's mouth open, I know, how convenient eh? I...

OLD - Week 1 Day 4 Afternoon

They crested over a hill and below them a small mining town was spread out within the canyon, but instead of driving into the town, Seth bared right and went around the top of the canyon in which the town was sitting in. Seth stopped the cart to a point level with the town, he got down from the control seat, searched through one of the crates, and pulled out a mass of rope and clips. He threw them off the back of the cart and jumped down off the cart. Seth then proceeded to activate each of the mechanical braces from the carts underside. Ellyn then spoke up “What are you doing?” she said, disembarking from the cart herself. Seth walked around to the side facing the edge of the canyon, Ellyn met him there. “Just wait, you’ll see” Seth said starting to tie some of the rope to the cart. Seth then found the other end of the rope and clipped it to something under his jumper. Ellyn just looked at him quizzically. He gave her a wink and jumped off the edge. “Seth!” Ellyn called after him,...
