Callie fidgeted on the doorstep waiting for it to open. The moon, full and bright, yellowish in its glow illuminated everything. It hung low in the sky, a haunting lamp light to remind everyone that Halloween was just around the corner.

“Yo! Tory? Hey its Dad, you want this? Hang on-a sec.” Dad snapped a picture with his phone, sent it, and waited for her reply. He had to yank the phone away to save his ear drum when he got it. “YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, PLEASE, PLEASE!” Tory’s dad worked a regular nine to five job, but on the weekends liked to hop […]

The figure lurking behind the doorframe […]

They were celebrating. Nathan and the police department had been sued by the family of a young boy who had witnessed Nathan’s shift to intermediate on their Day of Discovery. Shot during a traffic stop, his pain and rage had shredded his control. Nathan was sued for scaring the boy and giving him nightmares, “emotional distress.” The department was sued […]

Belial watched a young woman come through the make-shift door as he sat perched high above on a smashed roof of the ruined building. It had been converted into what now passed for a dingy bar and its patrons sat hunched, mostly in silence, as they nursed their precious alcohol to dull the pain. “Lexa,” he murmured, leaning down a […]
