"Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap... YES!" I cried out, as I saw an open parking spot. I pulled in, locked the door, and started stomping through the snow towards the nearest entrance. "Fucking parking lots," I grumbled aloud, dodging mothers, fathers, and annoying kids. My cell phone buzzed in my suit pocket. I stopped in my tracks, almost getting hit by busy shoppe...
JABEZ 28th June, 1999 – Deptford, S.London When the Evermann strode out of the room where they had been keeping the boy, the sound of stifled weeping followed him briefly, then was silenced by the closing of the heavy fire-door between himself and his captive. Mersen did not look up from the bench where he knelt, industriously cleaning his semi-automatic,...
LEVERIA The previous night had been a sleepless one. I'd sat in my office, drinking wine and contemplating the mirror before me. Its twin was hanging over Elena Straltaira. She was awake, staring up at herself, a thin rectangle of moonlight shining on her face. Though her jaw was swollen, her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was filmed with dried sweat and...
Sorry it has taken so long to get this chapter completed, that said any and all comments are welcome and wanted, though constructive are more so!! Though if you won't comment at least vote, that way I get SOME response. To fully grasp this first part with all the new characters it'd be best to read at least the last part of Chapter 16. ALL characters that en...
Author's Note: Everyone in the story is 18 or older! ***** Darryl George panted softly, sweat dripping from his arms.

Many thanks to snowbear for the editing of this story. * ROBIN'S STORY It was a bad day. It really was a very bad day for me, indeed. I had lost my job and I had lost my apartment. Though none of these matters were my fault, they happened with the worst possible timing. Only one week ago my girlfriend of one and a half years and I had agreed that we wer...
I know there's been a long break between chapters. Life and a close family bereavement has gotten in the way and writing has been very low on my priority list. I am hopeful that in 2020 I will rekindle my love for writing. I promise I will complete Storm of Shadows. Thank you so much for your patience and I hope you enjoy the chapter! ***** Rhianna Armand...
