Lady Tarissa bit back the angry words she had been planning when she saw the desperate look on Almandar's face. She had specifically told him to be quick when he went to talk to the bard, Yarai, and yet he had, in fact, been some hours, leaving her on her own back at the villa waiting for him. She could guess what he had been doing; she wasn't that naïve. Ye...

This is the second to last chapter. I hope you like it. Chapter 11 is still only about half-way, but expect it mid-month. ********************************************** Luka shot upright in bed at the sound of breaking glass and voices on the ground floor. Pulling the sheets neater across the bed, he told Erin to sit with her back against the headboard an...
Brother Hayes looked nervously around as he shuffled down the corridor. His candle sent flickering shadows across the walls. In his overwrought imagination they took on the fearful shapes of imps and demons, grasping and clutching at him. God, please preserve my humble soul, he thought as he scurried down the corridor. What had they been thinking? For rese...

Aksana sat motionless, gazing into the crackling fire that served as the only light within the deeper darkness that was her crypt far below the the ground. Her nerves were set on edge. Her mind, a whirlwind of doubt, fear, and tormenting memories. Try as she might, the chill from earlier lingered upon her, cloying presence in her thoughts and emotions. She...
It didn't look like a Valentine. It looked like a plain piece of pink cardboard until Lacy picked it up in her hands and turned it over looking for an address or some sort of flap to open. Then the thing started to vibrate in her hands like an electric current was going through it. Lacy threw it down and watched in stunned disbelief as the piece of cardboard...
This chapter is a personal favorite. I picked my screen name based on this character even though she is female and I am male. Dr. Electrogasm is to be a major part of this story. While she is not the main antagonist she is kind of like a secret weapon of his. She will appear in the story several times, so I hope you find her character interesting. ***** Wh...
This is the third chapter in an on-going story about two individuals who are hunkering down before Hurricane Frances – an actual storm – passes over central Florida. Although not absolutely necessary, I recommend reading the first two chapters and then come back to this installment. The storm and its effect were real. As a Floridian, I lived through it. I ha...
There is an old saying about fishing and work. It goes something like this; 'The worst day fishing is better than the best day working'! I was having one of those days. Work had gone well and, in general, I suppose it was a good day. But, I was getting 'antsy' and I wanted to get 'out of here'. With it being Friday, I skipped lunch and headed home to get a...
