Let me Love You
Discard fear and open your eyes. Allow me to gaze into those green orbs to your naked soul and glimpse the siren, the monster, the scarred little girl, the inquisitive mad scientist, the rebel, the dreamer, the concerned daughter, the activist, the angel, and the demon.

Embers of Night
Every inch of Kiana was embraced by darkness. The only notification of her presence was the red embers burning at the end of her cigarette. Odell smiled in the darkness as he approached her, partly wishing she could see the excitement on his face, but glad she could not.

Beyond the Door Pt.4
"Hey boy. This way." Maven's voice brought Davin out of the memory. Davin didn't see him return but was glad he did. He didn't want to be trying to explore on his own. Maven slid his sword into its scabbard and took up his short spear which leaned against the wall. "Follow me, and stay … Continue reading Beyond the Door Pt.4
