[QUOTE="Qwillion, post: 5918804, member: 14641"] I am posting the first page of each short story in our Coliseum Morpheuon fiction anthology, available in Print, and eBook formats: PDF, Mobi (for Kindle) and ePub (for Nook, iBooks & more); today its [b]Full Circle[/b] by Jess Carson [i]Black tendrils wove their way into Ashur’s skin, stinging him to the bone. Inky shadows writhed under his flesh and grabbed hold of his essence, consuming him. He struggled in vain. He felt her laughing, her presence echoed within the devouring darkness. Bitter fluid surged into his open mouth—blood he hoped. Pain he’d never experienced before shattered his body. His will faltered; he longed for death. Ashur thrashed awake, blood roaring in his ears. The night breeze chilled his sweating body. His throat felt raw and choked. Outside his tent he could hear Kyran’s voice—forceful even in its whisper—talking to Gwin as they exchanged places for the watch. Ashur ran his slender fingers through his damp brown hair then slumped back to the ground. It was the same dream. Every night since Tavon stole from him. That witch Nira cursed me. I won’t last much longer, if I can’t get what I promised her.[/i] ***** “You awake?” Kyran shook the edge of Ashur’s bedroll with his foot. Ashur rubbed his eyes. “Awake? Yes. Ready to face the day with you? No.” “Not even if I have good news?” “Not even if you were that barmaid from Souk.” Ashur pulled his blanket over his head. Kyran’s mind conjured an image of the dimpled girl, “Sinji. At the Golden Moose. You think she’s still there waiting for you?” Poking his head out of the blanket, he winked lewdly at his friend. Kyran shook his head, “I didn’t think she was that kind of girl.” Kyran stomped the dust from his heavy boots. [/QUOTE]
