Welcome to The Bear Den
My name is Birna Mellbin, and this site is where I put my writing, be it short stories or longer works. With any luck, you will find at least some of them to be interesting, amusing, or otherwise engaging. Writing has long been a passion of mine, and the ability to share my stories with the world means a lot to me (yes, I know it sounds pretentious, but I'm being sincere here, so sue me). Now, without further ado, welcome to The Bear Den. Enjoy your stay.

This week's story is about gamers and their tendency to break everything that can possibly be broken in a game. Which is a topic I know a lot about, since that's exactly how I play games.
Under the wire.

I posted this story three minutes prior to my deadline. But hey, it still counts!
Finally!

At long last, I can put this series of short stories to bed. It's not like I think they're bad or anything, but this stupid story kept pulling at my attention when I was trying to work on other things, and it was frankly getting on my nerves. So, good riddance.
Gosh darn it.

So, I started writing the last story in this set when I realized that there was a significant chunk missing from the story structure. This week's story is that chunk. The actual last part will be next week.
Trust me, nobody's more annoyed by this than I am.
At this point, I just want to get this story out of me.

This story is very selfishly refusing to let go of my brain, so I'm afraid I have no choice but to finish it. Fortunately, it should be done after next week. So you won't have to deal with it for that much longer.
