Tales of Far From Home: Winds of Change

Escape had always been on my mind. Since day one of my arrival, I knew I had to escape as soon as I could. The first month of my stay in this horrendous world was spent in a giant’s pet shop. Not that I knew that at first: my first 2 weeks were spent in the backroom with the shop clerks and shop stock. A need for quarantine, and vaccinations, and being “handled” to grow accustomed to the monsters around me. Not that I would ever become used to being held in a giant’s fist, let alone by ones who saw me as something to be kept and pampered over. Not that I wanted to get used to this world at all. I’m still not sure why I’m here. I learned the “how” after a while: a random act of magic snatching me off the street in Dublin, Ireland, only to wind up in a gigantic world. Filled with immense creatures who saw us as pests or vermin or…pets. The shop clerks were used to “handling” humans it seemed. Or, at least, one of them was. The other seemed all too eager and impatient with us. Yes.

My EC2 Research Paper Based on Gulliver's Travels

The Political Satire and Social Commentary Of Gulliver’s Travels Published in 1726 with amendments made in 1735, Gullliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift is best known for being a fantastical tale of one beleaguered doctor’s adventures through impossible lands as he sails the seas and is arguably Swift’s most popular novel. Many probably know the first two parts of the novel better than anything else about the book though, concerning the countries of Lilliput and Brobdingnag. Through its many interpretations and representations –from children’s books to adult novels, movies to television shows, comic books to

Ah, the story that pretty much cemented my place amongst the GT community! (That stands for "Giant-Tiny" by the way.) The longest, most mind-wracking, sanity stealing, (though technically the second such story I ever wrote) and life-encompassing GT story ever written! Probably!

“I don’t think you ever told me how long you’ve been here, Bridget.” “It has to be about a month by now…give or take.” “I remember my first few weeks. It sure as heck wasn’t easy, but I don’t think I have to tell you that, huh?” “Yeah, I know Kirby. But I do have to admit, these last 2 weeks have been better than the first few.” “Really?” “I’d like to tell you everything’s changed since Colm woke up, but it hasn’t. He’s taking little steps to be better around me, and I think I appreciate that more than anything else, r

Tales of FFH: Yggsmas In Killarney

The park had been decorated for weeks now. Strings of lights wrapped around trees while shiny baubles hung on their branches. Festive wreaths and ribbons adorned the park benches and rubbish bins. Elaborate, massive strands of evergreen garland connected lampposts to each other. Green and gold, red and silver, the colors of the holiday season were everywhere. And I absolutely hated it. If you had asked me last year, hell just a few months ago, I would have felt differently. It used to be one of my favorite times but here and now…it felt like some gross farce. Like the universe was twisting the knife. Because this wasn’t Christmas, and this wasn’t my home. Don’t ask me how it happened. Don’t ask me why I’m here instead of Earth. Just know that this isn’t it. One moment I was storming out of my house after a fight with Ma. Thunder crashed just as I turned to answer her. The next moment, I was so dizzy I nearly passed out on the street. It took a few minutes for my head to clear and

FFH: TTA - Chapter 21: The First King

The morning was a rush. I’d barely gotten out of the shower when I was ambushed by a pair of tailors and a hairdresser. Last minute fittings were needed, mostly at Cassidy’s behest. A new kilt and sporra were provided. The new jacket needed a few alterations though. I stood in front of their mirrors while the tailors measured and sewed. The hairdresser attempted to fix the mess that was my hair. He tried to slick back my bangs, but I wasn’t having it. The braid and new hair ribbon would be fine enough for me. The only relief was knowing I wasn’t alone. “Good morn-OH!” Annie began, trying to sneak in. An

The day before the coronation would be a long and exhausting one. I’d barely gotten my first cup of coffee and things were already piling up. “First things first, the revised final plans for the mansion.” Cassidy said as she laid the blueprints on my desk. They were hard to read at first. It took a moment to realize how everything would be moved around again. It was Cassidy’s idea to rework the plans: she feared what Lydia might have said or would say about the inner workings of the new castle. “They’ll need your final thoughts and approval. Erm, again.” It had been the High Council’s idea. Ne

I was sincerely dreading the moment. The wait was agony in and of itself. There was so much I had on my mind, so much I wanted to say. So much I wanted to scream. But I knew I had to be calm. For a while anyway. I wanted to hear her confession first. They brought her into the interrogation room soon enough. The guards were dismissed as soon as she was shackled securely to the table and floor. They weren’t in the mood to take risks. Neither was I. It should have been odd to see her in a prison uniform or to see the manacles on her wrists. Any other person, maybe. But there was no sympathy for the woman who tried to kill me. To kill

They never felt like dreams. More like…memories trying to remind me of themselves as I slept. They mostly came in flashes. Nothing seemed to last. But it all came back in an instant. The light was so warm. Bright. Comforting. I finally felt safe. I wanted the feeling to last forever. It wasn’t to last. I awoke in a field, laying against a tree. The sun felt dull somehow. Nowhere near as warm or bright as it should have been. Nothing looked familiar. The grass went on for miles. Mountains were far off in the horizon. What buildings I could see were a fair distance away. “Mmm…where am I?” I murmured to mysel

There were voices in the dark. They were hard to make out. Some whispered, some shouted. It was hard to tell who was saying what. They faded away the harder I tried to listen. It was almost like they knew I was eavesdropping. How was it eavesdropping if it was going on inside my head? The silence that followed was peaceful. Comforting. It was the most restful sleep I’d had in days. For a time. Aches and pains made themselves known soon enough. A concerto played against my skull. Stings pricked along my limbs. Whatever comfort I had felt was gone. But I was still too exhausted to move. Sounds eventually pierced the fog again. T

Aches and pain wracked my body as I woke. It was too much effort to open my eyes yet. “-east we gotta scapegoat now.” My ears worked just fine though. “Don’t know how he found this place. Half-tempted to beat it out of him.” The voice sounded familiar. “We doona have time. It’s set tuh go off inna few minutes.” So did the kick to the ribs. “Ah well. The bastard might have the time to think over his ‘poor life choices’.” Their laughter died down after a while. New voices took their place. Shouts and crashes of metal shook me out of my haze. An intense wave of pain

“Sorry…sorry…I’ll be gone inna…inna minute…” The voice sounded so far away. Everything seemed so far away. The only thing that felt close was the cold brick wall I leaned against. “Er, it’s okay mister. Take your, er, time then.” someone said nervously. “Thank ye.” the distant voice replied. No. Wait. That was my voice. The dizzy spells were getting on my nerves. What food I’d managed to choke down during the day threatened to force its way back up again. Too many Jumps, not enough progress. It was a few minutes before I felt better. Marginally, anyway. Enough
