Quests of the Savannah

Victoria Samuel

Sinopse

In the heart of the untamed Savannah, a land teeming with life and ancient mysteries, a young lion named Kito yearned for adventure and purpose. Raised within the pride, he had always felt a restlessness deep within his soul, a longing for something greater beyond the familiar grasslands and towering acacia trees.
Kito listened intently to the tales passed down by the elders, stories of legendary creatures, hidden treasures, and the secrets whispered by the winds. These stories ignited a fire within him, fueling his desire to embark on a journey that would challenge his limits, broaden his horizons, and ultimately define his place in the world.
With each passing day, Kito observed the intricate dance of life in the Savannah—the graceful gazelles bounding across the plains, the majestic elephants trumpeting their presence, and the vigilant cheetahs racing against time. He marveled at the harmony and balance of this vibrant ecosystem, recognizing that every creature had a role to play, every pawprint leaving a mark on the tapestry of existence.
Driven by his thirst for knowledge and a yearning to discover his own purpose, Kito made the decision to venture beyond the boundaries of his pride. He knew that the Savannah held untold secrets, hidden realms, and challenges that would test his courage and resilience. It was a quest to uncover his own destiny and forge his own path in the world.
Little did he know that his journey would be more extraordinary than he could have ever imagined. Along the way, Kito would encounter mystical beings, wise spirits, and fellow adventurers who shared his thirst for the unknown. He would face trials that would test not only his physical strength but also his character and the depth of his convictions.
As he embarked on his quest, Kito understood that he was not only seeking answers for himself but also becoming part of something much larger—a timeless story of the Savannah, where the destinies of animals and humans intertwined, and the lessons learned would shape the future of all who called this land home.
And so, with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, Kito set forth into the vast expanse of the Savannah, his heart filled with determination and the echoes of ancient whispers guiding his steps. The curtain had been raised, and his quest had begun. Little did he know that the trials and triumphs that lay ahead would forever change the course of his life and the destiny of the Savannah itself.

Betty Lennox is an elemental witch on a mission to leave her desert hometown of Smokethorn, California, for good. But first, she needs to sell the property she inherited from her mother to someone who, among other things, doesn’t mind living in a paranormal seniors' trailer park in a town where it’s so hot in summer that the local demons head back to Hades to cool off. 
She’s also running low on cash to keep up the protection spell on the park. When she’s offered a job to procure a cursed grimoire, one so dangerous the local coven won’t touch it, she takes it. Even though the job comes from a vicious wolf alpha who won’t rest until she’s dead. 
To get the grimoire and keep her soul, she’ll have to lean on her partner—a magic cat named Fennel—Cecil, a homicidal garden gnome, a graveyard demon, her retired necromancer best friend, and her second-least favorite bartender in town, who also just happens to be the wolf alpha’s son. 
If they can manage to work together without killing each other, Betty just might survive.

Leave the Troubled Skull Behind

Lina Patton

They say that just before you die, your life passes before you. But what if you die in an instant? What memory or few memories would you recall and which memories would not be recalled? My daughter, Lina, who is a novelist, wrote a pastiche of Tobias Wolff’s short story, “Bullet in the Brain” for me one Father's Day. What makes it special is that a few years ago I wrote an autobiography, mostly to leave for my kids. When I wrote it, I wanted to provide a library of anecdotes for her to use, possibly, in her writing. So my autobiography is not filled with political philosophy or personal essays. It's filled with my life stories. And in this short story, “Leave the Troubled Skull Behind”, she has based the possible candidate memories passing before Baxter's life just before his death on my own life memories. She has chosen the memory she thinks would be the one most likely to be recalled in that instant of time between a bullet entering Baxter’s skull and his expiration. I never would have guessed which actual memory she would select, but it makes sense. She may be right. Someday, maybe I'll find out.

Lucky or Knot

Eliot Grayson

Out of money and down on his luck in a city that promised him a run of both, Tony turns to the one asset he knows he can sell: his honed, toned, dangerous alpha body, which looks surprisingly good covered in glitter. 
 
 
 
Well, not sell, exactly—that's a line Tony won't cross. Display? Gyrate? Flex? Whatever. It pays his bills, and that's all that matters. 
 
 
 
But one payment comes due sooner than expected, and when a slim, unearthly fae customer who can't seem to take his gleaming eyes off of Tony's . . . assets . . . presents him with the timely opportunity to make a little extra? Tony finds that he's willing to cross that line after all. 
 
 
 
The golden coin Raven offers is enough to settle Tony's debts. And the way Raven takes what Tony gives him in return is enough for Tony to wish he'd offered himself for free. 
 
 
 
But when the sun rises, Raven's gone—along with the coin. 
 
 
 
And Tony isn't the kind of guy to let things go. Especially not when they belong to him . . . 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
