Even from halfway down the road, Emmett felt a knot in his stomach, but laying eyes on the yard filled with debris, the panes without glass, the front door hanging slack against only one hinge, he realized he couldn’t have calculated just how bad things could have been.

Sanctuary: Eleven
The time between his graduation and this return to the local high school had not been terribly long, but to Emmett, it may well have been a lifetime. There was no pale reflection of the halls he once walked and classrooms he sat in within the sparsely adorned walls of the public high school. Everything […]

The morning brought the slightly more bold bleating of the fawn seeking sustenance and the pounding of a fist on the front door.

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.

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 […]
