TH - Book 2 - Chapter 7 - Vertical Farming

“Which way to farm three?” I yelled as I sprinted back towards the door. 

“The official entrance is outside and around the back of the warehouse but…” Edward stuttered.

“Spit it out Edward!” Skyler shouted.<...

Updated Schedule

Hey all,

As many of you know I've been planning to release much more in the new year. I've done polls everywhere, jumping back and forth on what I'm going to release, but I think I've finally locked down a tentative release schedule.

Wombat's Writing Index - Dec 24, 2024 (Happy Holidays)

Wombat's Writing Index - Dec 24, 2024 (Happy Holidays)

Hey all. I'm planning to release indexes once a week, on Friday, but since tomorrow is Xmas, and my family is getting together boxing day, I probably won't get edits or Thur/Fri writing done.
Happy Holidays and Merry Xmas

See you on Mond...

CR - Chapter 3 - Sanctuary

Although we all made pleasant small talk around the table, we didn’t really say anything important. Tess didn’t ask how our mission went, and neither Maria or I felt like sharing. Like usual.

When Maria got up from the table I grabbed he...

TH - Book 2 - Chapter 6 - Triumphant Return

The hive network was a lot more extensive than either Skyler or I realized. It covered several square kilometers, which we had to methodically burn out with a combination of enzyme gas and nanite injections. The combination of the two pro...

WWotWW - Chapter 3 - The Company Train

As soon as the sheriff left I noticed at least two other people keeping tabs on me. I wasn’t sure if I’d done something to rouse their suspicions, or if the locals were just naturally wary of strangers, but I considered myself lucky t...

Chapter 37 - Advance! (Heavy POV)

Heavy POV

The tiny Deadbeat came tearing around the corner, leaping across the gap into my departing Kodiak. I just stared at her in amazement, she never would have tried to make that jump before, not with that massive pack of medical supp...

TBoB - Book 3 - Chapter 36 - Intervention

After doing 4-2 on friday, feeling inspired, so may be two TBoB today.

I sent the Kodiaks to blitz the missile launcher. I knew whatever Helmar had couldn’t be small, considering the volume of fire it had chucked around th...

TH - Book 2 - Chapter 5 - The Root of the problem

Even with the anesthetic getting the spine out of my shoulder felt unsettling. It wasn’t painful, but I could still feel the thing slowly dissolve, and then have my own flesh push out the residue as it knitted itself back together.

CR - Chapter Two - Home Sweet Home

Maria and I snuck through the local checkpoints, and out of the area, before anyone even could report our presence. Thankfully, the checkpoints were meant to keep people out of an active Bleed, not keep people in.

The truck was a coup...

CR - Chapter One - A Hard Day’s Work

Since I STILL havent decided which two new stories to release at the start of next year, I wrote travelling tea house chapter 1, and updated the first two chapters of both Witch and Convergent. It gives me more time to figure out which I f...

TBoB - Book 4 - Chapter 2 - Nice Calm Discussion

So. I'll be honest, I don't really like the way that TBoB book 3 has gone. Most people seem to think it's entertaining, but personally, I just don't like how many plot holes and forced interactions there are. I WILL be continuing it, but in order...

The Travelling Tea house - Chapter 1 - Steam and Ash

So, here is the first chapter of the travelling teahouse. Slightly different than I originally imagined. A couple of my discord frens gave me some ideas, and I went with them. Although I like the idea, I'm not 100% sold on it yet. May...

WWotWW - Chapter 2 - The Price of Magic

“Magic is illegal? What backwater bullshit is this?” I muttered as I entered my room. 

Kaylee just popped her head out from her hiding spot underneath the pillows and looked at me quizzically. “Mow?”

“Yes you heard me ri...

WWotWW - Chapter 1 - A Company Town

Some of your may have already read my WWotWW initial draft when I posted the latest poll, this is the fixed version of chapter 1 + 2 that I stayed up WAY to late last night to fix

As soon as I stepped on the platform I was s...

TH - Book 2 - Chapter 4 - The Killing Field

Once we’d finished cleaning up the bodies it was easy for Skyler and I to figure out which direction to go. It turns out that when you have that many antithesis make an insane charge through an area, they don’t leave much left in thei...

TBoB - Book 3 - Chapter 35 - Devastation

“I can’t fucking believe this…” I muttered, as I watched the developing battle through one of my squirrels. The situation had degraded from a cautious stand-off into a full blown brawl in the streets. As soon as I released the del...

TH - Book 2 - Chapter 3 - Hidden in the trees

“Forget the corpses, get back into the compound, now!” I yelled as Skyler and I ran towards the security team. 

Andre just stared at me in confusion. “What the fuck are you yelling about? Why?”

“The antithesis are...

DD - Epilogue - New Game Plus

I adjusted Kass’s miniature just a smidge, making everything perfect, It was time.

Calliope was the first one to enter the Games Room, eyeing up the table suspiciously as she approached. “What’s this all about Talia?” she asked, hold...

Schedule Poll

So, my plan for January was to do alternate TH and TBoB, while releasing two other chapters every couple days.

Now last night I started worrying that people would like me to shake things up, so quick poll. (Thanks anxiety)

Updated Poll!

Alright people, I'm supposed to be writing a new TBoB chapter right now, but I'm having serious problems figuring out what to write. Not really writers block, more storyline issues... as I've discussed before.

TH - Book 2 - Chapter 2 - Safe Arbour

I rewrote part of chapter 1, because although I really liked the idea of a subterranean base, but it doesn't make sense for a farm complex, or one that's under siege. That post has already been updated.

TBoB - Book 3 - Chapter 34 - Mental Anguish

This is a little rough, and I want to to another pass, maybe rewrite it completely later, but I have to take my family to airport, so got to run

TH - Book 2 - Chapter 1 - Sunday Driver

“Do we have everything?” Skyler asked as we stepped into the garage. 

“We have my weapons, your drones, armor and snacks,” I replied, holding up the small backpack full of food.

My girlfriend paused for a moment, placed he...

DD - Chapter 56 - Home

Kass and I left the Manor early the next morning, and took a carriage to the crypt district. It wasn’t really a crypt, but an entire area under the city which housed many of the subterranean races. It might have started small, but over hu...

We stayed with my mother for another hour, partially because we wanted to make sure she’d be fine without us, and partially because my mother wanted to make sure the two of us ate something before leaving.

TH - Chapter 55 - Top Secret Plans

It only took a couple minutes to reach the city limits again, and once we did Skyler turned towards the commercial harbor. Unlike most mega corps Synthesis Systems didn’t have its headquarters in the business district, but instead my mother had ...

TBoB - Book 3 - Chapter 33  - The Venue

So, have a pretty clear idea of where I want to take the next few chapters (which you may be able to guess) - Wish I'd thought of it sooner. Weekend is my time off but I may spend an hour or two reading the backlog to see if I can smooth out anyt...

TH - Chapter 54 - Reflexive

Only a handful of chapters left! Getting close to the end of book one, and setting up book two.

It took us about half an hour, and two dozen grenades to completely eliminate any trace of the hive. We actually spent most of that time trying...
