The Cults of Voynich City
Chapter I: The Cult of Lost Souls HUMAN RESOURCES Stewart Cinn rolled the stamp on the pad of red ink, lifted it into the air, and slammed it down on the request form with a heavy thud. “Denied.” “Denied?” The old man, face covered in symbolic tattoos, looked up in shock. “How? I filled everything out perfectly.” “I apologize, Minister, but it is the view of Human Resources that your need for sacrifices at this time is superfluous at best.” “Superfluous? You can’t…-

Specter 02
Adam's eyes fluttered open as a groan escaped his lips. His tongue ran along his teeth. A coppery taste stuck around, almost as if he had been sucking on a penny. The light bulbs hanging from the ceiling were dancing around. Swaying this way and that. He knew that they weren't moving. There probably wasn't even more than one. It was his eyes that were having trouble focusing. And that ringing in his ears was not helping. He reached up to slam his hand down on his alarm clock only to nearly fall…-

"Final call for bets. You've got five minutes. Get 'em in before it's too late!" Cecilia Takala ignored the announcement and its repetitions in several other languages, choosing instead to sweep her gaze over the excited patrons. She had invited a great many people from all over the globe. Many of them were enemies of each other, but so far there hadn't been any incidents. Something Cecilia was going to credit the brilliance of her assigned seating and the required masks. Few people were sitting near…-

High Wind “Welcome to Super Burger, home of the Super Burger, can I take your order?” Four thousand three hundred thirty-eight dollars was a lot. A few months worth of pay. It helped ease the pressure of a week without pay, revitalized our emergency money, and got Thoth a few goodies. After I got off work today, I was going to take a trip down to the mall to find some goodies for the rest of the family. However, it was not enough money to quit my job over, unfortunately. Even if it had an…-

The Basement Staying out all night was irritating. Even though I had one whole body that was asleep, my other body yearned for rest and relaxation. While I did take a few breathers at various locations around the city—a bench in Central Park, an open-late diner, and a few bus stops—I never slept and I never let the bag out of my sight. I tried to act normal, like I wasn’t worried about a scary shadow lady following me around. Unfortunately, walking around the city for a full night wasn’t…-

Treasure Hunt I couldn’t find anything at the first location. Same with the second and third. The fourth location was the most likely place to find a bag of money, according to Thoth. Still, I couldn’t help but feel like I was on some treasure hunt for the lost goods of an ancient pirate. Ares enjoyed pirate movies, so I had plenty of examples to go by. In the movies, the protagonist always wound up with the treasure. The treasure was never a simple myth and if someone else had already gotten to…-

Can't Do the Sum Work was out for the week. The Snow Queen had actually caused a fair bit of damage to more than just the coffee maker. A few pipes had burst in both the kitchen and the toilets. The freezer had turned into one large block of ice, ruining a decent amount of the food inside. It would be a couple of days before everything got fixed or replaced. Insurance was paying for all of it, apparently. I would like to say that I was enjoying my vacation, but I wasn’t. I just couldn’t get my…-

Super Burger “Welcome to Super Burger, home of the Super Burger, can I take your order?” “Uh. Yes. One Amazing Burger. No cheese. No bacon. To go. That’s it.” With half lidded eyes, I punched her order into the computer. It was, truly, a mind numbing profession. There was an older man, a Dennis, who had been working between the front counter and the kitchens for over twenty years. I could not fathom how he came into work every day with a smile on his face. Six months of this job and I…-

The Family “What is the difference between a hero and a villain?” The man stared at me as if I had two heads. In today’s society, having two heads would be an uncommon sight, but not one that anyone on the street would gawk at for too long. That was just how unique today’s world was. People were different now than they were before. So instead, it would be more accurate to say that he stared at me as if he couldn’t understand how someone old enough to be in high school could possibly ask…-
