Diasel shivered in the cold moonless night. Perched on the window seal of her small cabin, Diasel watched the bull sized man strut through the small rooms. He was still bundled up in his black vest and thick plaid wool jacket he had worn throughout the harsh winter day. Diasel had spent the day following him to the edge of the clearing around the house to the start of the forest and back again as he made several trips for firewood. The large muscled man always carried two axes with him. The smallest of the two dangled in a leather…

Charles checked his watch again. The display showed 6:55. He had five more minutes before he was supposed to show up for his date. In truth he had arrived ten minutes earlier and had waited in his car down the street. His heart was pounding and he could feel the perspiration on his forehead form little beads. Charles rubbed his sweaty hands on his blue jeans and checked the clock again. A few minutes early wasn’t bad right? He turned the key in the ignition but the car didn’t start. He pulled the key out to make sure it was…

She stood at the edge of the road, watching headlights grow closer and closer forming twin orbs of brilliant blinding white. Then they would pass by and red was all that was left. The red of tail lights, as if a sheer veil of blood was draped over the world. The red veil would peel away from the world just as quickly as it came. Everything had turned back to black. The world was dreary again, no light, no blood just unforgiving darkness. The tall raven haired girl took two steps out into the road, placing her directly between white…

I am a part of this thing called humanity. It is great and all, but there is one thing which confuses me to no end. I can’t figure out if I am the only sane one alive or if I am the one that is insane. When I think about a couple, I see two individuals surviving the challenges of life together. Two people who have come to love each other. Two people who unveiled their darkest secrets to one another. Two people who have shared their hopes and dreams of the future. Two people who have bound themselves, not…

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. The feelings swirling inside of him had yet to be defined, and it would do neither of them any good if he acted hastily. Odell hid his smile behind a face of apathy before his features betrayed him. They spoke at length under the black veil of night about topics too…

“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 quite.” Davin did as he was told. They moved slow which allowed Davin the time to look at his surroundings. The floor was the same as it always was. Hard gray stone without imperfections. The walls rose on either side and then arched and joined…

Davin took great care to not make a sound. His head moved side to side as his eyes searched the dark corridor. There was nothing. There was supposed to be guards all around him, three to the front and three covering the rear but they were all gone now. He delved into his memory and watched as two of them collapsed, one on either side of him. At first he thought they had passed out from the lack of oxygen. It was a logical thing to think considering they were traversing the quarantined section of the city and the area…

Daniel once believed he had everything figured out, but now as he stood over the grave of his mother he realized how wrong he was. In movies a persons last words are always remembered whether they are harsh or loving, wise or confusing. In reality though, that is far from the truth. Daniel tried to remember the last words he had said to his mother. He couldn’t. It was not a Hallmark moment nor did he feel a sense of dread fill him as he walked away. That had been three months ago when he said goodbye. Daniel had moved…
