I’ve written another short story. This one’s called “The Latest Death of Morim,” and it’s about life, death, and music.

Morim woke up with his lungs burning. His whole body was cold. His joints were stiff, so stiff that he couldn’t move. He struggled to remember, to somehow grasp with his mind where he had just been, to hold on to some detail. But there was nothing.

“That one was the hardest yet,” a voice said. “You almost stayed dead this time.”

Read “The Latest Death of Morim” here.

Ahh, Unreal Tournament 2004. Excellent game. My (eventual) roommate ran a server with a stats mod on it that let you gain experience and upgrade your abilities. It was a bit broken.

Edit: Speed was one of the dorms on campus.
