Disclaimer: this is a horrible chapter with many dark themes and should probably not be read by anybody. When I was about six, my Mum told me that all men were testosterone-driven idiots. Like most six-year olds, I didn’t really know what the hell she meant by that. Now it was obvious. “Seth!” I called,Continue reading “Chapter 4.51 – Game Over?”

Chapter 4.50 – No
Important note: This chapter deals with the aftermath of a character being sexually assaulted. There is no visual depiction of the assault. In keeping with the character, expect some self-blame and some explicit descriptions as she tries to come to terms with what happened. Melinda, April and Wyatt had been playing on the same arcadeContinue reading “Chapter 4.50 – No”
Chapter 4.49 – Parasite
Note: bit of blood. The GliTS headquarters, with its confusing layout and whimsical décor, was one of the few places where Jessica was beginning to feel relaxed. Surrounded by her foil-headed cohorts, she was feeding off their enthusiasm as they chattered on excitedly about their day. “And when Lilith showed us her fangs, I nearlyContinue reading “Chapter 4.49 – Parasite”
Chapter 4.48 – Revved Up
Note: NSFW Caleb had spent another day dithering between action and procrastination, stewing again on the loss of his feisty lover and friend. Finally, a decision had been made. He had decided to find Faith and to talk, like adults… It’s what Lilith would have suggested, he was sure of it. Oh Lils. He missedContinue reading “Chapter 4.48 – Revved Up”
Chapter 4.47 – Haywire
Jessica Spoon was many things, but an idiot was not one of them. She recognised that Broof and Lilith were not truly surprised when the house materialised. Nothing about their expressions of disbelief was genuine. It meant one of three things. One, that the house was now visible to everyone – but then why wouldContinue reading “Chapter 4.47 – Haywire”
Chapter 4.46 – Found a Man
The morning sun was shining on Broof and Lilith as they arrived at Joe’s bar at three minutes past eight. Broof had been pushing her to get ready since he’d woken up at five, but Lilith hadn’t been quite as keen to face the day. She would’ve stayed behind and let Broof venture into theContinue reading “Chapter 4.46 – Found a Man”
Chapter 4.45 – The Cauldron Bubbles Over
Note: some naughty bits, no nudity. Kitty dipped a finger into her little cauldron and gave it a long, slow stir. The mixture began to turn from an ashen grey to a luminous green at the contact of her talon; the viscosity and sheen changing along with it until what Kitty had was an almostContinue reading “Chapter 4.45 – The Cauldron Bubbles Over”
Chapter 4.44 – Talk to the Dead
The bearded man switched out of his politeness almost as quickly as he’d switched into it. He rounded on the bespectacled brunette. “What could you possibly have to say about my daughter?” Jessica chewed her lip. “I’ve been talking to her—” “My daughter’s dead,” Broof said bluntly. “So how exactly have you been talking toContinue reading “Chapter 4.44 – Talk to the Dead”
Chapter 4.43 – Freedom
Melinda sniffed her glass and recoiled. “This smells so much like feet.” “I think it smells like cheese.” “Exactly,” Melinda said. “Cheesy feet.” “Do anyone’s feet really smell of cheese though?” April asked, swirling the liquid in her glass. Melinda wasn’t sure why they’d opted to drink the illusion potion from wine glasses, rather thanContinue reading “Chapter 4.43 – Freedom”
Chapter 4.42 – Unfinished Business
“Are you sure this is the right location?” Wyatt scratched his greasy head. “It’s what the book said: ‘Mildred Cumberbutton, buried 300 yards east of the fifth river milestone’.” “But this is…” Lilith screwed up her nose as she took in the building before her. She’d been here before, with Chuck, but hadn’t truly appreciatedContinue reading “Chapter 4.42 – Unfinished Business”
