[QUOTE="Qwillion, post: 5921774, 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]With Intent[/b] by Rob Manning The evening bell tolls across the Coliseum; soon the slave that brings my meal will be by. They've put me in this cell to wait out my final days. I know I shouldn't have jeopardized the crew, the mission, or my employer, but she was too beautiful. She told me her name was Yulia. Churn the waters of the Brightdocks, do they not shine? We had done the research. We knew the layout of the house, had bribed the builder to know where the traps were, and had patiently watched the patrol of the town guards to realize the only pattern was the way they slowly strolled through the red light district. A few (actually quite a few) silver coins gave the girls incentive enough to make that stroll even slower. The break-in itself went off without a hitch. Fury and I through the upper window, Allis and Ellin on each main street to run interference or warn of approaching company, and Fat Sam was in the canal boat, ready to take us down under the Brightdocks to unload the merchandise and wait out any repercussions until we could get to the Tarnished Souk and our fence. Both Fury and I even found a little extra for ourselves in the room beyond the nightingale floor. Old Man Hamerion had invested quite a cache for that special floor, trapped so anything larger than a cat traipsing on the bare wood caused the boards to sing out loud and strong. His other serious investment was an unflappable handyman, Mr. Chubb, who was fast with his blade and a strong uppercut. Fury and I used an elixir of levitation to bypass the trapped entry to Hamerion's vault, but were surprised by the clockwork snake... [/QUOTE]
