I got around to unpacking our stuff the next day. I unpacked Mom's in her bedroom. I didn't know quite where she kept all her different clothes, but I thought I'd better try my best, it was all I could do for her, give her a tidy clean home on her return, whenever that was going to be. It would make me feel like a good boy and hopefully keep my mind off worr...
In the village of Damansk, Fall was a time of rejoicing for the village, at least for most. For anyone with a daughter or loved one of marriageable age not yet promised, it was a time of secret fear. Fall was the time of sacrifice for the people of Damansk. Each year the dragon who lived on the mountain would take one young woman and 5 head of cattle. Ann th...

Valentina left her bedroom moments after watching Misty enter hers. Daybreak was approaching and she was ravenous. She made her way to the elevator and punched the button for the lowest level, three floors underground, her Temple. No one living today would recognize it, but if through some miracle of time travel an Aztec priest were to visit today, he would...
I ran my fingers through the blades of grass soaking up the early spring sun in Henry's garden. My eyes fluttered, slightly flinching as birds flew above me. I stood up straight pulling my dress up around my thighs to step into the creek to soothe the heat from my pores. The cold water rinsed upwards to my knees, I shivered but lingered in it. I was used to...
Raising the Dead, in Spite of the Natural Order: A Cautionary Tale Chapter 5 ***** "The body temperature has just about warmed to something we can work with. Hormones and enzymes are at acceptable levels. I think one last test on the muscle fibers before we go for this. Iga could run a current of... Iga, are you even listening?"

With a smile on my face, I lit the match and let it fall on the Kerosene-soaked floor. The flames roared, and rushed toward the trio of Vampires bound to the wooden pole, their howls of pain and fear sweet music to my ears as they burned to ash within seconds.
