Beneath The Winter Sky

She loved the lights decorating the homes of the town. Strung over branches and railings, painting the glittering snow in a rainbow of colors. She loved walking the streets, a tradition since she was young, taking in the childish glee of the decorations, joy so strong one could practically taste it in air. And he…

Sit With Me

Have a seat, my Love Why are you shaking? Why are you crying? There's nothing to fear. It's dark here, my Dear It's quiet and still. Like a corpse in a coffin, And it's making me ill. Are you comfortable, my Love? I can't say I am, But I can't leave, Not until you open…

Maroon Midnight

You open the door, pulling your jacket close. There's a man in a black suit with maroon undertones and a maroon fedora waiting for you. He leans against the post of your decks entrance. Smoke curls around his hidden face as he exhales. That's okay, you know what lies behind that hats brim. You say…

First Bite

"What are we going to do with the corpse she just made?" I groan, hanging my head as Melody's cries grow louder at Adeline's blunt statement. Turning, I stare at her, eyes narrowed. And if I take just a little bit of grim satisfaction in how quickly Adeline bows her head, eyes lowered in submission,…

Holly’s and Lillies

It shouldn't have bothered her so much. How many mortals had she watched fade and die? Why did it matter now? Why was it freezing her soul? Squeezing her insides until she felt like throwing up her organs? It shouldn't matter. So, what if she was living with a woman with so little time left?…

Restless

His arrival is heralded by a bloody sunset. Sloth knows he's coming long before she lays eyes on him. Long before the villagers she's sworn to protect feel the weight of his power. There is another soul like hers, marching towards her, carrying feelings she does not want in her home. His presence is so…

Somnum

In the dead of night in an empty field, something was brewing. It slithered in thin wisps from the shadows, gathering in coiling circles. Light flickered, smoke bloomed and writhed around the growing shape. There was a hiss of air, a hum of birdsong. The air grew cold as the inky form twisted into a…

Bring Her Home

"If she gets in my way, I'll kill her." He says. I nod, trying and failing to swallow the lump in my throat. I know David will do whatever he must to kill that wretched Witch who stole and hurt and now controls so many people. And if he has to cut down any poor…

Collapsing Inferno

She is an inferno. Rolling waves of scorching heat, turning all around her to charcoal and ash. Her flames, those swirling, twisting bright colors that had once been contained within her humanoid form, surge forward and away. Growing, consuming, destroying. She is sensation, rising higher and higher, choking the air with smoke. She's losing so…
