&lt;p&gt;ON A COOL summer night in Prague, there&amp;rsquo;s no club more Insta-worthy than NERO in the estimation of Gina Maddis and her fellow travelers. The eight girls have been in Europe for nearly a month now, cutting loose on their summer break. Gina&amp;rsquo;s coming out of the bathroom, fresh off a line, when her eye catches on a young man sitting at the blue-lit bar. He&amp;rsquo;s got dark hair and a cast to his features that suggest he&amp;rsquo;s a local, but something in his eyes and his slight smirk have her curious.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Hermione's Drider Peril</title><link>/stories/2022/06/03/hermiones-drider-peril/</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2022/06/03/hermiones-drider-peril/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A few months had passed since the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding community had time to mourn their losses and process damage brought upon by Voldemort’s dark forces. Although the attack on the school was ultimately thwarted, the surviving witches and wizards now needed to round up and capture any remaining Death Eaters and their allies. Many of the Dark Lord’s followers had fled alongside their wretched monsters into the depths of the wilderness to shield their intentions and evade detection. The new heads of the Ministry of Magic have tasked groups of capable fighters to round up these remaining forces and bring them to stand trial for their crimes.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Another Year, Another Slave to Own</title><link>/stories/2021/10/29/another-year-another-slave-to-own/</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2021/10/29/another-year-another-slave-to-own/</guid><description>&lt;h4 id="chapter-one-sunny-side-up"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter One: Sunny Side Up&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m not sure why I pulled my rented, blood red, economy car off the highway, in a fateful decision to explore the small town of Sunnyside. Maybe it was because I was ahead of schedule in my drive back to my university from visiting a friend in a neighboring state or perhaps it was because I had heard so many amazing stories about how beautiful and affluent the town was that I just had to see it for myself.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Old Wood</title><link>/stories/2021/08/25/the-old-wood/</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2021/08/25/the-old-wood/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="tendrils-in-the-trees"&gt;Tendrils in the Trees&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rossem took another deep breath. &lt;em&gt;Breathe&lt;/em&gt;. Sometimes, simply taking a few deep breaths could increase concentration. The steamy air was so thick it felt like he was swimming, but the ambrosial atmosphere of the sauna was more than worth it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the center, a series of hot coals filled the sauna with a sweltering, pleasant heat. It opened the pores and relaxed the muscles. Above it swung a hot metal censer, filled with an arcane incense. It opened the mind and relaxed the will. Rossem was resistant to its effects, though he did enjoy visiting it all the same. He loved the feeling of the steam entering his nose and lungs; the pink gas from the censer taking a slight hold on him. He licked his lips, feeling a warm and thoughtless pleasure forming around the back of his head.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Giant Worm and the Mummified Damsels</title><link>/stories/2021/02/13/the-giant-worm-and-the-mummified-damsels/</link><pubDate>Sat, 13 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2021/02/13/the-giant-worm-and-the-mummified-damsels/</guid><description>&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The arch villain &amp;ldquo;The Fat Man&amp;rdquo; has captured and drugged myself and my two other coworkers. All of our clothes have been removed and I view Jill and Kris&amp;rsquo;s naked bodies for the first time. The Fat Man&amp;rsquo;s henchmen place a strange device onto our crotches and I assume it&amp;rsquo;s some kind of device to cause pain or pleasure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m helpless as I watch Jill get mummified, she is weakened from the drugs and cannot fight back. They have placed her arms over her breasts and they mummify her, Egyptian-style. She is wrapped with many layers of skin tight wrappings, mummified from her toes to her neck, only her head and her perfect blonde feathered hair is visible. All of Jill&amp;rsquo;s curves are visible through her tight mummification.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Conference</title><link>/stories/2020/10/28/the-conference/</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2020/10/28/the-conference/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A deep, rumbling voice thundered through the great hall, “Beings of Heaven and Hell and all places in between,” it called out. The blood red mound of quivering jelly at the front of the room bubbled and shook with each word, but no mouth as such was ever visible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We have agreed to this extraordinary meeting,” the deep voice continued, “to address the reality that we monsters and magical beings may soon become extinct.” He paused and then said, “Look at us!” After another pause, he repeated even more loudly, “Look at us!! We are but a fraction of the great horde we once were. And many of us who are left are diminished.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Gift</title><link>/stories/2020/05/24/the-gift/</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2020/05/24/the-gift/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Ginny glanced at her watch and wondered where her friend was. Standing outside the local Muggle electronics store late at night, she couldn&amp;rsquo;t wait to get it over with. She didn&amp;rsquo;t worry about what the girl was doing late at night alone on the street; Godric&amp;rsquo;s Hollow was a fairly peaceful village.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today was July 30, which meant Harry&amp;rsquo;s birthday would be tomorrow, and she still couldn&amp;rsquo;t decide what to give him. She knew this was an important moment in their relationship. She had recently moved in with Harry, and they were already talking about spending the rest of their lives together. The dark-haired man had renovated his parents&amp;rsquo; house in Godric&amp;rsquo;s Hollow and improved it. There were more rooms, a library, a spacious attic, a modern kitchen and a cozy living room. His 21st birthday was not only an important moment in his life, but also the first time they were able to officially celebrate the event as an adult couple. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn&amp;rsquo;t find anything suitable. She had already thought of everything, starting with a trip to the next Quidditch tournament, but that didn&amp;rsquo;t seem to suit her mood. She was always poor at choosing gifts. She knew that when opening previous gifts, he had put on an enthusiastic face so as not to upset her. But she could see his frustration when he picked up socks or a set of chocolates. On the contrary, whenever he gave her gifts, they always seemed the perfect thing for the moment, gifts that inevitably brought tears to her eyes.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Hotel Transylvania – Alternate Version</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/hotel-transylvania-alternate-version/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/hotel-transylvania-alternate-version/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hotel Transylvania&lt;/strong&gt; – Alternate Version

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In this version Murray the Mummy is late and has not arrived yet. We start the show with Jonathan having just arrived and is entering the hotel. Count Dracula is coming down the stairs having consoled his daughter Mavis and watches a new guest squeeze through the revolving doors. Once the person is revealed in the light he sees that it is not a monster as the shadowy profile might have indicated.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
