There's a line you cross when you've done many different things in life and you need to be certain as to what the power of life constrains. Life can be amazing or life can be a death sentence. And despite crossing the path of a bus to hold it for a friend, grabbing a car from a bad section of street or being tossed through a plate glass window; nothing has f...
Dark Tidings Ch. 02: Torn Apart As best my limited night vision could distinguish, we stood upon a vast hill. At its base, there was forest, dense and primordial. At its apex, a massive citadel of dark stone, dotted here and there with flickering flame. We stood somewhere between, on the slope. Above our heads, stars dotted the sky, and three moons cast a p...
Proverbs 31:10-31King James Version (KJV) 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 3...
The Angel and Me The stifling heat had finally broken, and a storm was descending on New York City. I shook the water from my hat, dropped it on the table, and looked around.

This is the first chapter of what will be a novel-length tale. Several chapters are already written, and the entire novel has been outlined. It will be finished. I'm guessing that chapters will be published every 2-4 weeks. I've published here at Lit before, and that has previously been my pattern. I've never left a novel unfinished. Most chapters will be lo...
"My name is Edward Baldwin. I'm your biggest fan." "Biggest fan or not, would you mind explaining precisely how you managed to get in here?" Hiro asked defensively. Laughing, Edward replied, "It was child's play, really. Your security systems aren't nearly as powerful as you think they are." Beginning to sweat, Hiro muttered under his breath, "Kimiko, if...
Will whistled as he drove, his long, thin fingers wrapped loosely around the steering wheel. His long hours at the office had finally paid off, and he'd just been given the promotion he'd been waiting for. He glanced over at the bouquet of flowers on the seat, excited to get home. He'd left earlier than normal, and had booked a table for him and his wife,...
Chapter 1: The Demi-Urge I have sought you for millennia. Threading my way through all the souls on earth to bind you to me, my Sophia. Seeking that one blinding moment of union with the woman-soul of the creator of all. In my arrogance I pursue you, wanting a communion that no other man can share, craving each sweet fluid of your body. Wanting to mingle in...
