Note: allusion to suicide. With Leyla’s loose supervision, Broof and Lilith were allowed to take a stroll around the swamp docks. Together. Not holding hands or anything, but Broof had brushed his knuckles against Lilith’s arm once, accidentally on purpose, and she hadn’t snarled at him. He saw that as progress. They had reached aContinue reading “Chapter 4.29 – Dust”

Chapter 4.28 – Our Identity
“It’s overcast,” April sighed, looking out to the horizon. “The first day we can go outside in forever and it’s cloudy. Boo.” “Boo,” Melinda echoed with a smile. “We’re still outside aren’t we? Let’s make the most of it. “What shall we do first?” “Arcade! Oh, wait, there isn’t one here. Um. Get an iceContinue reading “Chapter 4.28 – Our Identity”
Chapter 4.27 – A Spooky Story
Note: my game has the ‘occults keep losing their facial markings and eyes’ bug and I couldn’t be bothered to keep drawing them on manually, so there are inconsistencies in their pictures. Kitty’s second vermouth and her rendition of Flangeslap’s 5th piano concerto were rudely interrupted by the sound of Seth falling from the parapet.Continue reading “Chapter 4.27 – A Spooky Story”

Chapter 4.23 – Elixir Mixer
April burst into the room like the first rays of morning sun. “Good morning!” she sang. “Morning Apes.” Wyatt rubbed his temples and turned away from his effervescent daughter and back to his video game, where his character fell off the platform he’d so carefully landed on. He could sense her bubbling in his peripheralContinue reading “Chapter 4.23 – Elixir Mixer”
Chapter 4.22 – Flirt With Death
April’s towel kept slipping as she padded across the plush carpet towards Broof’s closet. Wyatt had turned in in the early hours – which is when Melinda went home – leaving April to silently exist in the house alone, trying to amuse herself. She was used to that though, that had been her whole lifeContinue reading “Chapter 4.22 – Flirt With Death”
Chapter 4.21 – Disruption
With plenty of hesitation and frustrated sighing, Lilith had finally been allowed to shower and given a change of clothing. The shower had been unheated and the dress she’d been given looked ridiculous on her, especially with her mini wellies, but Lilith was hardly about to complain in the minutes before an assessment of herContinue reading “Chapter 4.21 – Disruption”
Chapter 4.20 – The Chicken is Alive!

The chicken had spent the last few hours trying to get its head through a tiny knot in the wood and Lilith had quickly tired of freeing theContinue reading “Chapter 4.20 – The Chicken is Alive!”
