Wells Astrological Society: Chapter 6

9:01pm After making a crawl through what had been a sitting room, they find themselves in the kitchen. A candle sits on the counter in a free space made by another entity. The place is in worse repair than the shed, with rotting food clinging to every surface. The refrigerator had clearly gone out long […]

Wells Astrological Society: Chapter Seven

8:50pm “Something was moving in there. If someone is in there, they’ve been watching me the whole time. So it might just be some runaway or a homeless person, but they might not be content with just watching if I come inside. But I’ve come this far, and I’ve got to know if this is […]

Wells Astrological Society: Chapter 8

8:31pm “Oh god, that smell. It’s like rotting fish or a deer that got split open on the highway in the middle of July,” the cameraman mumbles in disgust after heaving a watery deluge of acid on the soil. What was found inside the two small shacks was nothing but clutter, a few dead animals, […]

Wells Astrological Society: Chapter 9

8:12pm  Under cover of the trees, the flashlight is turned on to let the recorder find their way through the yard. They start on the far end of the yard, where they had entered from, to begin searching the various sheds and outbuildings on the property. With a bit of a shiver, the man reports, […]

Wells Astrological Society: Chapter 10

August 9th, 7:42pm The camera flicks on to reveal the decrepit, dilapidating, derelict house at the curve of the road. The late summer night is creeping into the clear sky, but the place is utterly shadowed beneath the canopy of trees. Heavy breathing comes from the cameraman as he presses through the ditch and up […]

Wetlands: Chapter Five

The memory of impacted and the shattering of stained glass came to Es’Con as he forced open his eyes through the pain that was pulsing through his skull. Rolling himself off his back and onto the sticky, humid stone floor, the hunter had much to take account of in his new surroundings. He knew the […]

Wetlands: Chapter Four

The glow of early twilight reflected Es’Con’s battered visage back at him using his own blood as a makeshift mirror. Groggily, he rose from the bowing position he had collapsed in and, through half-lidded eyes, sought anyone who may be lurking. It was too early for the elders to be milling about, especially after the […]

Wetlands: Chapter Three

The journey back to the bunkhouse had been far shorter than that of to the temple for Es’Con, but of course, on his return, he had no concern for stealth. Vilni and his boys could likely have seen him coming down the street for the better part of five minutes before he reached them at […]

Wetlands: Chapter Two

Wariness, a certain paranoia, kept Es’Con from sleep and drove him out into the night, leaving the safety of his bed and all the other hunters in the bunkhouse. Vilni and his crew were still awake, playing stones when he stepped out of the round structure. For his part, the master hunter asked Es’Con to […]

Wetlands: Chapter One

A burst of steam and a pungent bodily aroma erupted from the chitin-like shell concealing the vague shape of another person. Thau and Es’Con quickly conferred with one another before deciding that this girl was undoubtedly what the elders sought. Clearing away a good half of the dome over the man-sized pond, the two pulled […]
