Glitch

Once, a very long time ago, there was a Family. A Father, a Mother, and two Sons. They were happy. Living simple human lives in hues of warm living colors. Then, the CORUUPTION came. Now the Family exists with shuddering, off-beat pulses and pale skin fused with corrupted inky mass. The color drained from them,…

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…

Darling, It’s Just Us and The Stars

The world is quiet, and it is only the two of them now. Her and her Husband. Them, and the stars above, distant and bright, watching. Too far away to act. Too far away for either of them to hear. Though, she wonders if either of them would care to listen, even if the stars…

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…

Take the White Queen

"It's okay." I lie. It's been a while since I've lied, I don't know if I sound sincere or not. Probably not, given the way Addison sobs. Harsh and heavy, like somethings caught in her chest and she can't quite cough it out. Well, I suppose anyone would find it difficult to lie with a…

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…

Answers and Consequences

"Why did you kill me?" Jean whispers. John pauses, hands hovering above his worktable. Pressed against his broad back, her hands flat against his shoulder blades, where she can feel the muscle twitch and tense under her palms. This close she can hear the way his breath hitches. Jean waits. She can afford to wait.…
