Dating is hard when the first book you read...
I meet a cute girl and find myself daydreaming about how, years in the future, the two of us will fondly remember that time I gave my life to save her from a rampaging dragon army.
We’ll be on our back porch sipping our coffee or tea at our house out in the mountains somewhere, watching the early morning mist burn away. I’ll still have some trouble in the cold— my right...
Super-dork Go! Wrote this for a D&D campaign I'm...
She is running again. It’s rare that she would be pushed so hard without knowing why, but in some circumstances this is a necessity. She’ll find herself having run for days on end before the wind catches her and the truth unfurls in her mind like a fern under morning sun. She always knows when to stop – or, rather, she always knows when the moment comes. She’ll slow and the world...
Had this saved for a while, just been a-slacking.
Sally: Yes, sweetie, we’re waiting for Uncle Alex. Do you see him? Is he com- OHMYGOD. Alex, god, you should have said something. Alex: Sorry, I always forget how quiet that is. Hey, buddy. Look at you, gettin’ all big and grown! You’re— oof! You’re like a ton of bricks! Sally: Yea, when did you last see him? It’s been a few months— Alex: ...

Maybe I should just start posting scans of my page...
Page 1
5 panels. Top quarter of the page is 1 next to 2, with 1 twice the width of 2. Panel 3 is the second quarter of the page, full width. Bottom half is 4+5, with 4 a tall narrow panel on the left-hand side, panel 5 a single small close-up frame in the upper left-hand corner of 6, and the remainder panel 6.
Panel 1: Running across an ancient stone bridge, this is a mid-shot of several of...
I am going to try to post at least one thing per...
And there is another short script that I am determined to post in the next day or so.
I have also determined (heh) that, while action is so much easier than dialogue, doing both together is just plain hard.

“What’s it doing.”
“I don’t think it’s doing anything.”
“What do you mean it’s not doing anything?”
“It’s not doing anything, it’s just sitting there.”
“Does it look like anybody’s in it?”
“Don’t even know if there’s an inside for anybody to be in.”
“Well look for windows.”
“You could look, you know, it’s not shooting at...
thought of this while eating a sandwich
She is standing at the crest of a bluff thrust up into the air by the force of her. Below and around her the land is rent and burned. Mountains torn up in a flash of rage, rifts cracked through the earth, smoldering from the fires below. She is standing, naked save the violent, clawing shadows around her, grasping at her skin, dragging her into or being sucked in by the void behind her. Her...
dialogue
1: You made it. 2: (silence) 1: What happened up- 2: They killed him. (pause) I had him beat. He was already down and… They killed him. 1: (Hesitation) But they didn’t kill you. (No response) They didn’t- 2: But they could. They will. I can’t keep this up forever. 1: Not forever. We don’t need forever. You know that. We just need long enough. 2: And how long is...
wedding story
Page 1
Full page. Outside of a church, bright, sunny day. Church is in a suburban setting, trees and a few oldish-looking homes. One wide panel and two wide panels just below that splitting up the bottom of the page, lying over the grass and street I the foreground.
Panel 1: The wedding party, viewed from the rafters of the church, bride and groom in the center, angled slightly towards the...
