The raccoon in enclosure eight would take some time to heal, Emmett knew, but more so, knowing this one would get well was fortune enough. Enclosure eight had become synonymous for the caretaker with worsening symptoms. It hadn’t started that way. Initially, it was just one of the last cages in the row for small […]

The Love Market: Chapter Nine
The map, showing what was left of connecting lines running through the states, was recent, printed just that year by some other factory likely closed indefinitely now, but was nonetheless out of date. From snippets of news Piper had gotten from those passing through looking for work, at least another quarter of the major cities […]
The Love Market: Chapter Eight
“I told Peter about the cyclones and what I thought of them, and he told me again that it didn’t work like that and that when the time came, it would be safe for me to leave the House. But I told him the same thing I would have told him any other time before […]
The Love Market: Chapter Seven
“There used to be some others who lived in the House, and Peter would bring them to my room to play. These playmates were there when the visitors were too, but I didn’t notice that very often. And these playmates, a bit older than me, left the House during my last birthday. They were old […]
The Love Market: Chapter Six
“I learned about storms from the screens, and I wish I hadn’t because I saw how they hurt people, killed people, made people sad, and struggle to keep living.

Wells Astrological Society: Chapter 1
9:31 pm The camera clips on but before anything can be established about where the recorder is or what is happening, the image spirals down. For a moment, it is unclear what is happening despite the various candles lighting the attic almost perfectly. There is a mass that is not distinct or easily describable as […]
Wells Astrological Society: Chapter 4
9:12pm There are more candles lit upstairs than when he had tumbled down into the flooded basement. There is caution in his steps, but it is unclear if that’s due to his injured leg or paranoia. This time, while in the sitting room, the cameraman takes good stock of what fills it. There is an […]
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 […]
Of Mortals: Chapter Thirty-Nine
Warping, twisting with the heavy sounds of atmosphere sloshing about the rains that would fall only to turn into clots of mushy ice, the cloud whirled into a tight mass. It was almost kind of funny. Kovarlin hadn’t seen that nimbus he had been brought so far west to protect, move at all since his […]
