A scream rang through the ally as the light from the sun was slowly being replaced with moonlight. The screaming continued for five minutes then all was silent. The rats returned to their foraging, the birds returned to their roust, but not all was right. A woman lay barely conscious in a puddle; naked and exposed to the worse the elements could throw at her...
As I wake up again Amy is still lying on top of me and is fast asleep. I finally have time to think. So about 19 hours ago I woke up in a hospital having received surgery for modifications of my mental and physical capabilities. Then about 18 hours ago, the most powerful man alive told me that he has created me, and others were genetically modified or art...
Chapter 9 We walked through the portal back to the study and I dropped my smile as the tense emotions in the room reached me. Just in two hours huh? "What happened," I asked in a tone of defeat. Simone said, "The Felesians have invaded again. They do it every couple of months, trying to get their people back." Felesians? Feles was feline in Latin, were t...
Please allow me to introduce myself. The name is Jack. I am a young black man living in the USA. I'm what you call a bit of an activist. I hate to see people get wronged. Especially men. If you ask me, I think that men are being stripped of their rights in this country. A guy sleeps with a bitch one night and she can do a lot of bad things to him. She can g...
The world sucks. It really does. Of course, most people already figured that one out. My name is Bartleby Conroy, and I was once one of those Chosen Ones whose duty is to make things better. Saving lives and fighting for justice was once my sworn duty. Then, at some point, I realized what I really was fighting for. It was my wake-up call. So I stopped giving...
Sit there and watch Charlotte disappear behind me, or do something drastic like pull the emergency stop or kick out a window? Given the level of security around the Tube, and not wanting to wind up in prison, I chose the former, as much as it pained me to do so. When we got to White City, I thought about getting off and trying to catch a westbound train, but...
1 The critics were the first to catch a glimmer of the approaching storm. Only the imminence of an immense talent could wage such portents & talent is easily harvested, especially a wattage as brilliant as the returning Alchemist, back from exile amongst distant hinterlands. Many awaited his newest effort with fanfare; the Alc...
I hated how it had come down to this. The WestCrest Mall was in an upscale neighborhood, the building barely two years old, and was genuinely a beautiful and comfortable place to shop for ridiculously overpriced luxuries. However, unfortunately I wasn't there to buy. I found the entrance I was looking for and parked my little coupe and steeled myself for the...
If I had a dollar for every time some fool who fancies himself or herself a Hunter came after me, I'd be a rich woman. Ever since the world found out about my kind's experience in 2015, it's been pure hell. Vampires have lived among humanity for thousands upon thousands of years, existing in secret, stalking the shadows. We only killed when we had to, and we...
My name is Ivan Charpentier. The world has never seen someone quite like me. A six-foot-two, broad-shouldered and muscular young black man clad in a long black leather duster over a red leather jacket, red leather pants and black leather boots. Complete with stylish sunglasses. In case the outfits got you wondering, the answer is yes. I am in fact bisexual....
