Fane was practically buzzing. Ishan watched, baffled at the new bounding ball of energy. Ishan had seen him happily content, yes, but Fane was excited, and not in a murderous way. He slipped his arsenal into his holsters but neglected his socks and boots. His hair pooled around him in a copper curtain. His eyes…

Subgalaxia: Ch 12
Fane walked briskly through the hallways. “Do you want to go outside?” Ishan offered, wondering if closing themselves into their bedroom would be the best idea for the man. Fane paused to look up at the platinum-blond man. He was lost and cold. He pulled Ishan to him and buried his head in the blond’s…
Polaris Skies: Ch 33 – Final Chapter
They were able to locate an old map of Florgia, long-forgotten behind a convenience store shelf in Pensacola. It proved to be useful in getting them past Tallahassee and Gainesville. Their anticipation and fear rose as they passed by Ocala on 75. It had been completely decimated from incendiaries. Fear prickled as they wondered if…
Polaris Skies: Ch 30
Dallas went on forever. The suburbs started almost at the edge of the state line and made for a never nearing horizon. The group stayed to the highways and underpasses, persistently pressing south. Downtown was crowded with massive sweeping skyscrapers and squished together blocks of apartments and townhouses. For the most part, it was abandoned…
The Fire in My Blood: Ch 23
I thought we would calm down, maybe gain a level head, on our way back to the warehouse. I was so very wrong. We were both on edge, and the distance was taking too long. I kept flicking glances Sanctus’s way, and he kept me sliding along that fine line. My fangs were becoming a…
The Fire in My Blood: Ch 19
A pasty cream-coloured world slowly came into focus, along with a raging headache. More like Medicus’s sick yellow cement walls. I studied the lines between brick and mortar in apathetic indifference for a time. I kept my breathing shallow. It felt better that way. I had to wonder. I had been in my great-grandmother’s apartment….
Polaris Skies: Ch 26
NSFW: Erotica Inside the double-wide, the group found sparse living quarters. Basic couch, table, chairs, cabinets hanging off their frames. The flooring had rotten through in a few spots in the hallways. The walls were free of black mould, though, and the group was thankful for that. Dust settled thickly on all the surfaces, casting…
Polaris Skies: Ch 25
Nat slipped into a deep sleep, only emerging when his body demanded other base needs. He slept on and off in the cave for the better part of three days. By the second day of his sleep, Hana’s wings had completed sloughing off. The group had taken the decaying matter far down the river before…
Subject 15: Ch 28
Ishan Orlov lay awake in his bed. He was numb and hollow. He had cried himself empty until his eyes were puffy and raw. His room and the palace had been cleared for some time. The first rays of dawn were colouring the sky pink and gold. He had not been informed since Fane had…
Polaris Skies: Ch 22
“Yeller?” Nat asked, shrugging out of his hold. “Sorry,” Yeller mumbled again. “Nat, I…” Deck looked away, confused and ashamed at having gone delving in his best friend’s mind without permission. “I came out to take a break for a while and see how you were doing.” Nat walked around Yeller and sat down on…
