"but..... But.... You are - - -," stammered the perspective client.
"And in drag, so do you have any other amazing things to tell me about myself or are you wanting my services?"
The middle aged man couldn't handle that and promptly left.
Henry was far too used to these situations going a muck.
And then heard some commotion out in the hall, figuring the man had knocked into the wall on his way out. But the next thing was the stunning woman opening the door and walking in.
She was over five and a half foot tall, black hair, dressed in black. And the only thing that stood out was the white walking stick she carried.
"Can I hel
It didn't take long to figure out the rules of this game.
A club, packed with zombies. And those who hadn't been turned yet. And the norms figured out pretty quick the rules. Standing on the floor meant you were fair game.
"So what do we do?" Rachel asked.
"They have to have some weakness," Dave replied.
"Wasn't there something about this stuff at that library we went to last week?" Rachel inquired further.
"There was but getting there will be a problem," Gregg said.
"I will do it," Blake replied. He was the fastest runner out of the lot of them.
"Blake!" Rose protested. As his love, she knew the dangers he was going into and feared fo

The King and Queen of Enmor
He rode in with the storm.
Winds raging and lightning cracked above his head, cascading through the midday sky as he rode at breakneck speed.
The purpose was dire. Time was short. And the storm was the least of the worries of the young elven battle mage.
The castle loomed ahead, silhouetted against the grey clouds that spewed out the storm.
And at last he reached his destination with news the king would not want to hear. News of how the world was changing around them. News of dread. He felt the pit of his stomach twist at the thought of having to convey that news.
Mosrves slowed as he approached and dismounted, leaving his mount to the s
It was to be a simple expedition. Simple. Go into the mines and locate the Mechs. The bots that were planning a revolt.
The Humes had been evacuated to safety already. So, anyone found in the mines was a Mech. And it was a known that Mechs were just machines and therefore expendable.
It was a small crew. Three males to do the dirty work and one female. Dora. Her presence was just a safety clause, so no one could claim this was just a clean-up crew to destroy all Mechs. She was an empath. It was up to her to make sure that they were all Mechs before the three men disposed of them.
Dora didn't like this job. At all. Something didn't get well

Encounters 1: Any Requests?
It was the second time in a week that Bruce had to go to the ballroom to escort a patron out. Under normal circumstances, it probably would have happened more often. But as this was at a historic restoration site, it was unusual.
And this time, it was the same patron. Odd one. An old man at the piano, who he had to ask to leave days before.
"You again?" Bruce asked.
"Just wanted to play a tune or two," the pensioner replied as he sat before the stock piano.
"Well, it's not really a piano," Bruce started. "It just looks like one. They can't afford to leave a baby grand out here with -----"
And Bruce shut up as soon as the man began to pla

Encounters 2: The Local Ghost
It was one of the oldest public houses of the region. And it was haunted.
Of course, dating back to 1473, it had seen a lot over the years. And had many secrets. Intrigues, plots, conspiracies, even a touch of espionage. And one of the biggest secrets had yet to be discovered.
Said surprise was set to unfold when the refurbishment began. And the person who was to find it was a construction worker by the name of Kevin.
He saw something glimmering. Shifting the earth away from it revealed the bones of a hand.
And that's when he shouted the alarm. "Remains found!"
That stopped all work for everyone. The archaeologists had to be called in to
