Here are some examples of my writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Zurika closed the drawer they were looking through, and walked over to a nearby closet door. They reached into their pocket, but was interrupted by the sound of bullets shattering glass.<br \/>The two turned to look back at the door. Three bullets flew down the hallway. The bullets&#8217; trajectory was aimed at the wall in between the two. In an instant, however, long, thin, leafy branches popped out of the shadows of each bullet. Each bullet was poked by a branch, knocking it slightly off course. All three bullets hit the exact same spot on Zurika&#8217;s bicep, with laser-like precision. The businessperson fell over, blood spurting out of their arm. Two figures in dark suits stepped into the office. Niraji had a hard time seeing them through the dust, but he was able to make out some of their features. One was a man with a blue mohawk, and a long neck with green spots tattooed onto it. The other was a woman who held a smoking revolver, wore glasses, and had an emerald ring on each of her fingers. Niraji was busy examining the two intruders when he felt his legs get kicked out from beneath him. The boy fell to the ground with a soft thudding sound. As he got up, Niraji noticed that his skin and clothes had somehow been painted to look exactly like the carpet below him. Zurika looked back at Niraji with a panicked expression, and motioned for him to stay down. The young Zofuhu saw the dust clearing, and quickly lay down before the two assailants could notice him.<\/p>\n<p><cite>From <a href=\"http:\/\/sgkdr.thecomicseries.com\/files\/zofuhusbigbreak.pdf\">Zofuhu&#8217;s Big Break<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cHowdy!\u201d said the waiter. \u201cWelcome to Mr. Meetz Steakhouse.
