Permanent In my fourth grade year, my teacher had us read news articles that were written with children in mind. These news pieces consisted of educational topics that were meant to inspire us students to learn more: a kid becoming a published author at the age of fifteen, the San Andreas Fault, the existence of black holes, and so on. I was never one for the news, though; my earliest memory of the art of journalism was a snippet called "Fox News Now" that usually played when my mom would watch football or the X-Files. In the dozen or so times I watched the two-minute long program, I noticed that the topics were highly depressing, ran

Brothers Willis tried to shut the door quietly. It was never quiet, though; the hinges were rusty, the lock clicked shut, and the door had to be pushed to fit into the frame. Some noise had to be made. Sometimes, it wasn't a problem. But when he could smell semi-burnt chili from the kitchen, Willis knew he wasn't safe. "Sounds like my baby bro is home." Willis put his Pokémon backpack in a corner behind the big potted plant before his brother's thundering footsteps got too close. He couldn't run, but at least he'd be able to keep his possessions out of harm's way. Russo turned the corner. His wide smile froze Willis's feet t

Maye's Diary

Maye’s Diary I can’t believe how long it’s been since I began this journey with no end. In fact…I’m not even sure how long that is. I know it started because of loss. People used think that I knew nothing of loss; because everything I could have possibly wanted or needed was handed to me without so much as me asking, I was a spoiled brat who only knew how to take from the world and give nothing back. But these people have long since changed their minds…not that they know me anymore. Funny what losing the ability to even move an arm does to the perception of people. Funny how those same people who thought y

Age of Thieves David “Goliath” Dukart Chapter 4: The True Journey Begins The new team began their walk from the Kar house to the center of Kane where the mayor’s office and the requiring center of ALARM resided. Although everyone knew that the Thieves controlled nearly every aspect of day-to-day living in the post-Cataclysm world, it was still a nice gesture for there to be an office where at least the idea of self-governing existed. The mayor, Kent Husker, was respected in the community as a leader who understood the plight of the average man and did all he could to make their lives as comfortable as possible. Although i

Age of Thieves Chapter 3

Age of Thieves David "Goliath" Dukart Dragus and Tobias moved out into the hallway, trying to ignore the blaring siren going off in the complex. They knew they had to get out of there and fast, but they had no idea what had caused the alarm or why. All they knew was that if they stayed where they were, they'd be dead within minutes. Tobias started off first, leading Dragus in the direction he thought he and Santana had come from. It was all so confusing to him, though; every corridor looked the same as the previous one, and with no distinguishing marks, it was hard to tell if they was making any sort of progress at all. But Tobias kn

In The Forest

In the Forest David "Goliath" Dukart He stood at the edge of the forest, his head that wore a ratty old brown hat tucked into his chest and his eyes covered by black sunglasses that reflected the hot noon day sun. Wearing faded blue jeans with holes and patches covering nearly every inch of the pants, a black shirt, and a white trench coat, stained brown at the bottom by being drug through the dirt, the stranger tossed the cigarette he was smoking down toward the ground. Before it could hit, though, the toe of his right boot caught it, flipped it back into the air, and then stomped on it with amazing force and accuracy. He lifted his he

ONE

ONE By David Dukart The feelings dwell inside me, Burning, Twisting, Contorting, Until they are all I can think of, The greatest pain imaginable; And I don't even know their names. Slowly I begin to meet them all, Separate and understand each alone, In my last attempt to regain control Before I become their puppet. Fear comes first: The fear of being alone with these feelings forever, And the fear of not being able to find The One Who could finally find me And bring me back To Humanity. Depression introduces itself next: A depression that comes from a need to excel, Yet never feeling success from anything, And a depres

Age of Thieves Chapter 1

Age of Thieves David "Goliath" Dukart The day began as normal as any could following the Cataclysm. Kane City's streets were deserted for the most part, but that was the way the citizens who lived there liked it; it meant their lives weren't immediately threatened. Very rarely did someone dare to leave the assumed safety of their homes unless they absolutely had to, often leaving the streets barren. However, on this day, one figure could be seen walking with a large load in his arms, seemingly unaware of his surroundings. The truth of the matter was Tobias simply did not care about hiding in the shadows to avoid Thief attacks. Even c

Age of Thieves Chapter 2

Age of Thieves By David "Goliath" Dukart Santana led Tobias out of the house and down the street, taking turn after turn down countless streets and alleys. The paths they were taking would have left even the oldest citizens of Kane baffled about their location. Tobias, however, had taken pains to memorize the layout of the city from any angle in case he was ever on the run from the Thieves and had to lose them in the labyrinth without getting lost himself. Therefore, he knew exactly where he was heading; the Dajara Plains. The Plains had once been the source of a variety of farm-grown foods, feeding a large portion of the world with i

So I've been thinking

0 min read

I believe I've decided on something. I want to hire someone to work on the art for my novel. When I say "hire", I mean on a case-by-case basis.  But I need help with certain things, like landscapes, maps, characters, etc.  I have the images in my mind (and some on paper), but they aren't cleaned up and they sure aren't professional.  Not that I AM a professional yet, but I sure would like to be able to have a clear image of what I'm doing. So this goes out to anyone.  I'm a poor college student, so I couldn't afford much.  But I'll help pay for the cost of necessary supplies (at least what I think is reasonable for the output) and time put

From halfway across the world, I make my startling reappearance.  That's right, you crazy motherfuckers, SavageShakes is BACK!  I'm currently in China, and I decided that if I was going to restart my writing, now had better be the time.  I'm here, in another country, and with having to go to classes here, I can't always wander off to do fun stuff and thus am stuck in a singular spot.  HOWEVER!  This does mean that I have fewer distractions overall (with the exception of the net...damn the net and its deliciousness within!), so I'm using that to my advantage and making myself write at LEAST an hour every night.  Whether it's on my travel blog

I'm no writer.  I don't do anything.  I can't even call myself that.  Oh jezuz, just take away my pen and paper and call me a hack.  I hate myself... Okay, emo-ness out of the way. ^_^ Seriously, though, I feel like such a hack.  I have GOT to get a schedule going or something.  Just three hours a week where I can sit, drink hot cocoa, and write something, even if it's not significant to my novel. In the spirit of that, I had a great idea that spawned last night during a weird conversation with my roommate.  I want to write...a new Legend of Zelda story. We were talking about how odd it would be if Link lost a body part during his adventu
