The Gilded Assassin, a Tale from the Golden Harem

Tales from the Golden Harem

Seraphina is looking to avenge her dead lover, but Emperor Titus Zepherian just wants a sense of danger so he can escape from being the most powerful man in the Empire of Zephyria. As alpha males go, nobody can defeat Titus. He has brains, brawn, the military, and dark magic at his command, but nothing is ever a danger to him. Nothing is a threat.

Enter the blonde barbarian Seraphina, his new Golden Harem wife taken by force on her wedding day. She is precisely what Titus needs: A sense of danger to add excitement to his sexual needs. But can he tame this gilded would-be assassin or will she get vengeance for all the people Emperor Titus has ever wronged?

Robeo + Julie22: Act I: Starcrossed Cyborgs + Clones

Two corporations, both alike in tyranny,
In fair Vetropolis, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where cloned blood makes cyborg hands unclean.

A retelling of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, set in the far future when mankind has been conquered by the Escalusians. Robeo, Julie22 and Benvolio embark on a series of misadventures whilst under the heel of their Escalusian Overlords. Robeo and Julie22 are lovers in dangerous times, but Benvolio has loftier goals as he and others seek to overthrow their alien overlords.

In the future the English of the Upper Class Elites has become more flowery and eloquent, with a twofold purpose. The first purpose is so wealthy sycophants can impress their alien overlords, the Escalusians, and in that effort better position themselves above their human peers. The lower classes have followed suit in their efforts, imitating the speech of the rich and famous, and consequently English has evolved into a more flowery version of its former self.

The second reason is that speaking in such poetic ways allows people to often speak in code, lest the spies of the Escalusians overhear what they are saying. Speaking in code while organizing a rebellion against their alien overlords is a matter of survival, and thus by often speaking in code the flowery speech becomes a camouflage on which mankind plans a rebellion.

Written by William Shakespeare and Richard Sexsmith.
