Summary:

Inspired by the classic work of the genius Daniel P. Mannix, I attempt to create a short work of my own.

Flame, an owned Arcanine, recollects the glorious days of his past, when he and his childhood friend attempt to escape a bloodthirsty predator, a Tyranitar.

Unfortunately, Flame is a damaged rescue case; he has suffered greatly, and as a result, has built up a psychological wall against the rest of the outside world. He must eventually come to terms with his actions - both past, and present, which will lead him to a very troubling discovery.

Summary:

Exactly what it says on the tin, to some degree:

There are four children, and each has their own 'paradigm', or power. Each paradigm has a respective strength, but also a respective weakness. These can be anything from contact with the Spirit World, to perspective changing, to the ability of convenience, to manipulation of real-world distances and time-paths.

Each teenager is troubled by his/her past, as most are not human. They mostly want freedom, no matter where they live, but are technically not bound by any entity or law of existence. They must learn that, to be truly happy, they need someone to share it with.

As such, each seeks out to find persons just like themselves to escort them to cultist paradise, where they can bask in the glory of their higher dimensions.

The only problem? Each paradigm cannot understand the metaphors other paradigms use in order to effectively utilize their powers. Faced with the previous obstacle of unity, they must also figure out how to cross the paradigm border in order to achieve their paradise.

"Halloween 2010 Submission", though it HAS become something more. I hate to leave a story unfinished, even though I did not win. Perhaps this will give me some time to re-write it, but I vow that this will be finished at one time.

Summary:

The Mortal Immortality Director's Cut, which is just a re-write of the original. It is written from the eyes of Wolfgang Upton the Raichu, the main protagonist of the story.

Ten years ago, a murderer by the name of Sigmund Umberto killed twelve victims in an occult ritual seeking immortality. The last of these victims was Wolfgang Upton, a mildly successful horror film director living in Twilight Glen.

Wolfgang has been caught up in the Spinda's killing spree, and hires Detective Miara Emer to help solve the problem and get Sigmund thrown in the slammer.

Little does Wolfgang know about the mysterious nature of Twilight Glen.
