Castle Kilborne Island of Aaron - Western Scotland 1307 "Witch…" As I look down into the feverish eyes, pale pain ridden features, and parched dry lips of the bloodied man lying on the crude wooden table before me I know I’ve just been handed my doom. The coppery smell of the blood slowly dripping, down off the table, warm and sticky onto my bare feet is...

INTRODUCTION & DISCLAIMER - Let's travel back to 1992, where 18-year-old high school senior Sabrina, a responsible babysitter for a yuppie couple, receives an unexpected visit from her boyfriend Scott, and things get very interesting.

The Vernal Equinox was tonight and the moon was full and bright in a cloudless sky. I was restless and wandered the gardens at a slow and hesitant pace. It was as though I were looking for something and waiting for something, both at the same time. Anticipation was lurking in the back of my mind.

Edie drives like she's at the wheel of a Philadelphia taxi, so we made it from standing in the William Penn lobby to here in a Morgantown parking lot on campus in one hour.

Author's note: This series is my homage to the manga and anime series, "Baki the Grappler". Yes, I know there are about 3 different mangas and, I think, 2 different animes with different titles, but I'll just call the whole thing "Baki the Grappler". So, meet Bachiko. Any resemblance to the original work in terms of characters, plot and theme is entirely int...
Chapter 1: Opening Moves I: The crime scene was located in suburbia Virginia, in a nondescript middle-class cul de sac.

I try to be unworthy of second glances, both through my attire and a few magica...
CHAPTER TWENTY ONE Cynthia's Story. I won't hear from her again. I remember the day that she left, she seemed happy enough to be going away for a holiday on her own. As the final boarding call came over the loudspeaker she gave me a light peck on the cheek. "Look after you father won't you? Don't let him go to the pub every night getting drunk. Make sure h...
(For B.) * "Honey Bee told me you've got... talents." Alice does her damndest to sound tough, takes a drag on her toothpick-thin cigarette, and exhales a blue cloud. "Everybody's good at something." I offer her an easy smile. Clasp my hands on the sticky table. My gestures and my expression are a picture of absolutely sincere, total innocence. I worry...
