Linda was freaking out. Full freak out. She was frantic, pacing back and forth between the door to the roof of the building and the edge. The shaking wouldn’t stop, the pitter patter of her heart in her ears. Tears streamed down her face and the familiar lump attacked the back of her throat. She …

Ashen Light Partial Dose
In the spiral. A circling black spiral. A mind tunnel. A sinking spiral. Laurence Glendale never really knew how to put it into words. It was a swift pass, but it’d been happening since he lost his parents in the accident. Of course, inheriting a billion dollar empire, helped soften the blow. But it did …

Monsieur Y
Julius felt old. And without a doubt, it wasn’t that ‘in his head’ shit. He was about to break seventy. Feeling old also didn’t feel like the proper description of how he felt mentally. Like an old bastard, a town drunk, a city bum picking at scraps in the slums. Everyday he’d waddle to his …
In the Mind of the Beast
Strangers. Apathetic people rustled their feet, shuffled their papers to cover up unintended noises. They were a group, a courtroom of nonbelievers who only saw Scarlett as a side show. Court seats creaked every time she tried to shift. Her restraints, her chains, made satisfying rings against the floor. Scarlett hated the idea of leaving …

There will be blood. In two forms. Two sides. Two halves. And an extra meant as the bow on the box. Don't believe the …
A Piece of Madness
Wakefulness and sleep. Somewhere in-between. I was unable to move. Or speak. Minutes passed, the pressure, the choking grew every moment but never crossed the threshold that would take away my ability to breathe. This time I had made sure my head was to the side. Easier to spit, easier to not feel like drowning …
Stop Resisting
Just listen to the beat. It helped me concentrate. Helped me get into the zone. I had everyone of my tools and felt the weight of each one strapped to my belt. I couldn't draw my gone because the two hands on the steering wheel were the only realiable things keeping me and my partner …
I was right!
I was right. Hot motherfucking, ass explosion, damn, I was right about it all. No one believed me, no one took me seriously. Why? When I knew without a doubt that this was going to happen. I screamed it to my neighbors, my family, the mayor, everyone across the state, plastered across the internet. The …
After the end of the world…
When the singularity was created, there was peace. There wasn't any fighting. No war. No trouble. Just an understanding that we needed to keep moving towards a prosperous future. But, of course, like Sigma theorized and thought, that was all temporary. He tried to warn others, tried to build a group so they would have …
