Ch. 04 - Interlude - Samael's Revenge Lighting flashed, transforming the world into blinding whiteness for an instant. The rain fell in sheets, so loud as to wash out any other sound. Samael stomped purposefully up the walkway, impervious to the weather. He pounded his fist against the apartment door and the answering thunder crashed overhead, shaking the...
My deepest apologies to you all for my lengthy absence. I'm happy to be adding the next installment to this saga. Thank you profoundly for your fabulous comments and votes. Though it has been many months to us, to Elena, Adonis and Petros it has been but the briefest of moments. "Just say yes." Petros said, as he smoothly stood and leaned over to place a...
I was born in the USA so my parents had me circumcised when I was an infant. Even though my parents told me I screamed at the top of my lungs during the operation, I don't recall the surgery or remember the pain I went through. I grew up like every other kid in the neighborhood running the streets without a care in the world. After everything that I had gone...
The Edge. That's what I call it. The Endless Darkness. The Point of No Return. Death. The one thing no living thing cannot escape. In my pride, I thought I could do the impossible. Now, I know better. Life has humbled me. My name is Thor Voltaire. A tall, good-looking man with dark brown skin, long black hair and pale golden eyes. A superman who once tried t...
I realize that I am watching a movie, one that I have seen before, but it is a distant memory. I am sat alone, at the back left hand corner of the cinema. This strikes me as strange, I don't sit here, why am I here alone. The memories start to take form, like the mist slowly clearing from a mirror, thoughts start to focus, images triggering... triggering wha...
"Inspector, the reports from the lab just came and Dr Ramirez personally told me to deliver these to you. He said he had some urgent personal business to attend to," said the mousy lab assistant. She didn't look Cyrus in the eye and was fidgeting on the spot, hoping to be let off soon. Detective Inspector Cyrus Threadgill was also called 'The Silencer' by hi...
It was six in the morning, a Tuesday in October. Elizabeth was in Phoenix, Arizona but it could have been anywhere. There was no hint of searing desert heat, no warm glow of sunshine here. Only pale early morning light was coming through the curtains. The room was like many others she'd been in, in cities all over the world. A single bed she'd sleep in once,...
My heart raced the moment I saw her. Donna, my adolescent crush, my neighbor's wife, had just packed up her groceries and was headed home, no doubt. I only occasionally visited my home town even though I only lived 25 miles away now. Today, I had just finished lunch at one of my old haunts when there she was. Donna wasn't just a MILF when I was growing up,...
I had just left the shower when I heard the intercom buzz; I had been readying myself for a Saturday morning trip to Harvey Nichols, not that I really required anything you understand, the trip was more a way to fill the void that the weekend caused in my life. I crossed the hallway, using a towel to dry my hair as I walked. “Hello” “Rachel?” “This is she...
All of a sudden, my hands were in his hair. My slender fingers ran through each chocolate curl on his head just like I had imagined – no, fantasized – about every single day. His own digits, calloused from writing on the board and holding pens for much too long marking, found their way onto my back, holding me like a... lover. My body leant back and his sh...
