April looked down along the track, watching the rapidly vanishing train, hearing Wyatt groan behind her. “I’m sorry,” she whispered automatically. “It’s fine, it’s fine,” Wyatt muttered, sounding like he was trying to convince himself. “What else was in your pocket, Apes?” “The tickets for the train and for the musical. And maybe a tissue?Continue reading “Chapter 5.04 – Noodle”

Chapter 5.03 – A Few Taboo Spells
Seth slumped into his chair and once again took his photo of Faith from his pocket. It was a greyscale image cut from a newspaper, fading and crumpled from the amount he’d thumbed it over the past three months; the creases stark white in the folds that ran across her features. Even just holding theContinue reading “Chapter 5.03 – A Few Taboo Spells”
Chapter 5.02 – Dire Consequences
Broof had settled Melinda, April and a curious Wyatt in the snug at the flower shop apartment. He took a deep, steadying breath and turned to Melinda. “We need to talk.” Melinda looked curious but April had immediately gone to panic. “You’re not in any trouble!” he assured the girl, who was already shaking; aContinue reading “Chapter 5.02 – Dire Consequences”
Chapter 5.01 – Sad Liquid
As the day became night, Melinda and Faith were sitting at their favourite picnic table, eating something unidentifiable that Melinda’s mum, Babs, had made, just for them. Melinda picked a bit of steak from her teeth, whilst tasting strawberries; the mixture bubbling up hot in her throat. “Sorry, this one is especially bad.” “Yeah, itContinue reading “Chapter 5.01 – Sad Liquid”
Chapter 4.52 – Baby
Note: suicidal sim. Three weeks later “Thank you, Bob, for that… interesting report. I wait with bated breath to hear if there really are pixies living in the Glimmerbrook Grand Hotel. And now, on to some real news. “Police have issued a fresh appeal for anyone with information on the death of Sandy Moss’s daughter’sContinue reading “Chapter 4.52 – Baby”
Chapter 4.51 – Game Over?
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”
