Jessica had had a terrible night’s sleep. Tossing and turning, this way and that, on Pixie’s lumpy sofa bed. She could have gone back to her cosy bed in Willow Creek, but was still somewhat terrified that a monster lay in wait for her. The nightmares she’d had had further ruined her sleep. She wasContinue reading “Chapter 4.31 – Piglet”

Chapter 4.30 – Into Darkness
“It sure feels as if you have added a lot and taken away a lot,” Kitty said uneasily, looking at the pile of curls Faith had brushed up and the blunted kohl pencil. “Are you quite sure that I look good?” “Trust me,” Faith grinned back, replacing the scissors into their sheath. “You’re going toContinue reading “Chapter 4.30 – Into Darkness”
Chapter 4.29 – Dust
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
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. She knew it was he; she could even tell which battlement had tripped him – the third from the left, the one that had lost the very tip of its corner longContinue reading “Chapter 4.27 – A Spooky Story”
Chapter 4.26 – Vital Chin Surgery
April squirmed on her seat as the room filled with the kind of noises that had often echoed from Wyatt’s room, and her tummy filled with that horrible feeling like it was knotting into a ball. The feeling only intensified as the camera panned around, through a haze of sweat and fur, to the otherContinue reading “Chapter 4.26 – Vital Chin Surgery”
Chapter 4.25 – Blossoms
Note: nudity After what had been a tiring day for all parties, Broof had been looking forward to his evening meal in the company of the Milt family. Even better that Lilith had joined them, bound now as she was to Leyla’s side for the duration of her stay. Lilith wasn’t overly happy about theContinue reading “Chapter 4.25 – Blossoms”
Chapter 4.24 – Be Mine
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. She was still not there and Seth was out of ideas. She hadn’t been at her home, her job, anywhere he’d seen inContinue reading “Chapter 4.24 – Be Mine”
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”
