  • The Fire in My Blood: Chapter 8

    My room was on the third floor of the north end of the old factory.  We kept guest rooms up on that floor for when we had Caeruleum visitors come in.  Rescues didn’t often get lodged in the factory until they had been vetted.  Maria Mater had made an exception for me with Sanctus.  Seeing…

    “If you aren’t gonna work, get out. Don’t come back!” Nina hissed at Farrow as she yanked away the platter in front of Rowan.

    Firefly Fish: Chapter 13

    “I heard Siren Voice so far out, I had to come investigate, Bet-tah,” Leviathan chuckled to itself. “And here I find you hiding a Kraken child. Who’s do you have? Cuttle? Lineolata, Mestus? Typica’s, mayhaps?”

    Firefly Fish: Chapter 11

    The solution, for the moment, was a long abandoned dock a few miles from the bay. It had belonged to a private property.

  • Life of a Librarian: Chapter 8

    I woke to a beautiful sunrise.  Maybe it had all been a dream.  That’s what I deluded myself with as I wallered around in the comfort of my warm blankets.  The longer I kept my eyes shut, the longer I could just think it was all a nightmare, gone with the morning light.  Eventually though,…

  • The Fire in My Blood: Chapter 5

    Requies had provided me with the apartment number while I had mulled over my first introduction to his place of business. After a longer than necessary chat, I headed out his door and made for the west end steps. I had left Cortex and Tempestatis back at the warehouse to wait on orders. I had…
