• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

The Black, the Dark, the Crushing Abyss;
This is where I call home.
The Sun dares not show its face to me,
I rule this place alone.

My prey shall not escape me.


I am the Kraken, Leviathan, the Beast;
Those I stalk are out of luck.
My arms have teeth, my beak is sharp,
I am Architeuthis dux!

Cool. We have the Seattle Kraken... Ice hockey team.
