Malady? Darker said flipping through the sheets of paper scattered on the table.

A disease or ailment, Grim said.

The smaller of the two men squatted in the opening of the only other piece of furniture in the small office, a battered wooden hutch. The doors, or so called doors as they in many ways did not resemble doors other than...

Five-minute fiction - 23:15-23:20

The high sloping roofs of the School of Assassins loomed over the City. The immense black stone structures standing like obsidian monoliths amidst the bustling hive. No guards stood watch at the gates to the school, but there were always eyes watching.

The Citys streets bustled with activity as Grim and Darker pushed their through the crowds that thronged in the market square and the street of butchers. There were too many people in the City, too many by half. They made the air stink, not to mention the road, the buildings, and just about everything else. The heat of the season before...
