Part 4.  Marble Bridge Hotel

The small, silver colored coupe sped down the main avenue in Upper Jeuno.  Going in a northwesterly direction from the Guide Point intersection and down Artisan Bridge, small single and two story homes lined the avenue.  There were various small shops on either side as well, but Upper Jeuno isn’t as busy or loud as Lower Jeuno.  The largest structure here was the Temple of the Goddess with the clock tower the next tallest object in this part of town.  Residents consisted of those with middle and lower incomes, whose lives were neither exciting nor worth appearing on the front page of the Jeuno Gazette.

Bismarck: Second Chances

Part 1. Gate 45

On a cold evening in the month of Garuda on a Firesday with the moon lit an intense red light upon its surface, the silhouette of an airship streaked across it from one end of the moon to the other. It quickly disappeared behind thick gray clouds as its altitude lowered over Jeuno. The destination of the sole airship that evening was the Bismarck International Dock in Port Jeuno. The Dock serves as the hub for airships arriving to and from various worlds. Citizens, tourists, including criminals, refugees and especially newcomers have passed through its arrivals gates with nothing more than a whisper or a say.

Again, I didn't finish it, but I am planning on finishing it now.

It's a fun little story, and hopefully i'll get it done. ^^

A Polar Bear and a Classroom. ( Poems #6 and #7 )

Here's the second story as suggested by the mysterious OmniSagi of KillingIfrit.  Enjoy!

This is the second story I am moving from my other LJ account to here. 

The following short story were in response to two different forum posts on KillingIfrit, a FFXI forum. A person with the user name, OmniSagi, made two barely understandable posts that other users couldn't figure out what he was trying to say. So, for fun, I turned his posts into little short stories, or vignettes, and had fun with it.

Post #1 : The day Omni, Situ Lal, & Bupo met and became friends.

OmniSagi :
"Truely a most (insert word here) day. For i am sure what i would call this day wouldn't be what you would. It has been a very long day, but has ended in universal success. Does me good to see them getting along now completely.


gl in and out of game. "
