Justice
by Danielle Davis

Matthew raked his fingers through his hair in frustration. This case and all its witnesses could go to hell for all he cared. He scanned his badge over the console on his desk to log in to his computer station. But while he'd intended to revisit the last testimony of the victim's brother, he found himself somehow logging into the Ministry of Preservatio...

A Sheep in a Union Uniform
By Danielle Davis

Below him, the war raged on.

A voice behind him, gravelly with the fatigue of all war-weary soldiers, spoke up. "Hey man, want a smoke?"

Jeremy looked toward the sound of the voice and frowned. "Sir, I think you misunderstand the point of this endeavor."

The man seated on the ground shrugged. He tucked the cigarette back into the insi...

Eye of the Baselisk
By Danielle Davis

"Easy," Jane crooned. She touched the fleshy crest that topped the basilisk's head. She felt, rather than saw, its movement as it prowled a circle around her. "Easy, beauty, easy..."

It was agitated. Both of them could hear the horsemen above, the clatter of metal armor and the thick thud of horse's hooves as the group approached. She cocked...

Honor Among Thieves
By Danielle Davis

Emerson scratched the back of her neck where a few tendrils of hair tickled the skin around the bionic spinal support. Her nails skimmed over the hard polysilicon case of the first node to scratch around the edges, where it met flesh. She twitched her shoulders, trying to get rid of the sensation, as she gazed over the rest of the passengers...

Burn Treatment
By Danielle Davis

Baker's rig was the last to pull on scene. He made a quick assessment as he pulled the fire engine to a stop in the street. It looked like they'd gotten the fire under control. A few firemen in bulky suits and masks manned the hose from the corner of the yard. The water made a graceful arc through the air and sent up hissing plumes of gray smoke...

The Bawdy Evening of Trip W.
By Danielle Davis

There once was a guy named Trip Wetter
Whose life couldn't get any better.
Until he woke up
with extra cash and a sore butt
and fuzzy details 'bout last night's bender.

He checked his phone for photos,
latest texts, calls, or mementos.
He found pictures instead
of him dancing at the head
of a conga line in a dress covered with bows.

The Littlest Night Witch
By Danielle Davis

“I need you up here!” Nadya shouts. Her voice almost blows away in the rushing wind. Since the biplane only has two seats, one in front of the other, she has to turn and lean out to be heard.

I quiver in the back seat, terrified and shake my head quickly. There is no way. She can’t be asking me to move up to the plane’s pilot seat, can...

The Egregia Cum Laude Adventure
By Danielle Davis

 It wasn't the first time someone had contacted him about a case as he was walking to his 6am Political Science class, but it was the first time someone had thrown a rock at him to do it.

"OW!" He staggered and rubbed the back of his head. When his probing fingers found a lump already forming just behind his ear, he turned with a...

By Danielle Davis

Once upon a time, there was a princess whose parents locked her in a tower.

Once upon a time, there was a dragon that guarded a tower rumored to house a beautiful princess.

Once upon a time, these were different stories.

King Prince and his wife Mylena loved their daughter, who was born after a long period of doubt whether...

Finders Keepers
By Danielle Davis

I remember it clearly because I was dating Todd then. To celebrate our two-month anniversary, he wanted to take me to the movies. There was a new Terminator movie out, and he was fair to bursting to see it.

"We'll go on opening night. That's always the best showing," he confided with the air of one who knows. He always seemed to know the best wa...
