Melinda had been staring at Faith for so long that Faith began to wonder if she’d caused her friend to malfunction. “Are you okay?” Faith asked gently, even though the answer was written all over Melinda’s weird face. “No. I’m not ‘okay’,” Melinda huffed. “I’ve just learned that my supposed best friend is an accessoryContinue reading “Chapter 4.19 – Long Gone”

Chapter 4.18 – Forty Miles of Horseshit
Melinda had been hanging out with April and Wyatt all day and most of the night, and had taken her leave in the early hours, so that Wyatt could sleep. She’d invited April back, but April had refused, saying that she was going work on a potion using her new cauldron. Melinda might have beenContinue reading “Chapter 4.18 – Forty Miles of Horseshit”
Chapter 4.17 – Broken Dolls
Note: Caleb’s thoughts may make you want to smack him with a shovel. Caleb arrived back the mansion, torn with indecision. Should he visit Tuesday, Thursday or Friday? He couldn’t choose Sunday, his newest girl, unfortunately. She wasn’t as hooked on his allure as some of his other girls were – it took her aContinue reading “Chapter 4.17 – Broken Dolls”
Chapter 4.16 – Safe Haven
After she’d used his friend’s sister as bait to lure a serial killer, Faith thought it probably wasn’t wise to return to dorky Clifford in Britechester. She instead hitched a ride back to the city where she took refuge in an abandoned factory. She really hated being stuck inside, waiting for the sun to goContinue reading “Chapter 4.16 – Safe Haven”
Chapter 4.15 – Cold Day in Hell
Note: this one is pretty warped. Nothing that hasn’t already been alluded to, mind. Seth stirred from his sanguine induced coma and blinked at the at morning sun above him. The Bluffs, he’d been there for most of the morning, listening to the ocean, enjoying the slight ache of the sunlight on his exposed face,Continue reading “Chapter 4.15 – Cold Day in Hell”
Chapter 4.14 – A Marigold Speciality
Before they’d even fully materialised, April was squealing at a pitch that only she could reach. She had run a circle of the small house while twittering excitedly, and had disappeared upstairs to unpack the contents of her small backpack. Wyatt, who had obviously seen it all before, stayed downstairs with Melinda who, true toContinue reading “Chapter 4.14 – A Marigold Speciality”
Chapter 4.13 – Predicament
Melinda, it turned out, did not have a better idea. With none of the trio having the ruthlessness to kill him or the skill to wipe his memory, fleeing was the only viable option they could come up with. However, on Melinda’s insistence, they’d left Omar outside the local medical centre, as dressed as theyContinue reading “Chapter 4.13 – Predicament”
Chapter 4.12 – Holy Potato!
Disclaimer: violence and badly-drawn blood/bruises. A trashy chapter by all definitions. Wasn’t it amazing what plants could do? Cleanse the air, filter out toxins, get you utterly wasted. Or, at least, wasted enough. In his dark, dingy room which was peppered with trash, discarded toys and mounds of evidence that his life was one hugeContinue reading “Chapter 4.12 – Holy Potato!”
Chapter 4.11 – Chasing Ghosts
Lilith settled on ground beside the wonky tent, in the dry grass and baking heat. She could just about remember how Seth had taught her to start fires a century ago, something that had finally been useful. But thinking of her ex in any way whatsoever was guaranteed to put her in a bad mood.Continue reading “Chapter 4.11 – Chasing Ghosts”
Chapter 4.10 – Undo Button
After what had been a much more fun night of semi-naked kissing than she’d ever had with Caleb, April had walked her girlfriend back to the small cottage. It was that hazy, optimistic part of the day where the sun was just about to rise. The lights inside the cottage told April that Moon wasContinue reading “Chapter 4.10 – Undo Button”
