Chapter 2.03 – It Will Be Dark
Caleb returned to the motel room to find Melinda watching cartoons and Faith glaring at him. He stared at her and she stared back. “You look different,” he said, studying her. “Do I? How?” Faith scoffed after about thirty seconds of Caleb’s silence. “I’m missing about twenty inches of hair.” “Oh, yes. So you are.Continue reading “Chapter 2.03 – It Will Be Dark”
Chapter 2.02 – Forgot My Kidney
Note: drug references Lilith looked down at the heap of man that Seth had dumped on her doorstep. “Special delivery for Ms. Lilith Charlotte Vatore. Please sign here.” “And what exactly am I supposed to do with him?” “Vixen, has it been that long? You dine on him, of course. Do you remember where theContinue reading “Chapter 2.02 – Forgot My Kidney”
Chapter 2.01 – Embrace Disgrace

Chapter 1.52 – Full of Holes
The first thing that struck Seth was that all the lights were off in the house. Despite having excellent night vision, Lilith always had lights on, even if there was no-one home.

Chapter 1.51 – Absolute Chaos
It had been a most satisfying night. As Seth lay back under the stars, satiated with what turned out to be a surprisingly succulent sanguinary experience with William Wangshaft, he admired again his new trophies; a kidney, as promised, for his feisty fledgling and a most unexpected memory. Will’s reel had mainly comprised of beer,Continue reading “Chapter 1.51 – Absolute Chaos”

Chapter 1.49 – Stay With Me
I had envisioned that I would make his acquaintance, ask him some questions, take my time. I’d learn all about vampires and make a solid decision, gradually befriending him and maybe, one day, asking him to turn me. I would be calm, rational, patient. Like most of my plans, it went totally bum up. “IContinue reading “Chapter 1.49 – Stay With Me”
Chapter 1.48 – Self-Destruct
Violence, suicidal thoughts, Will (collective groan) Joe looked up, expecting Caleb to take his usual chair by the fire, surprised when he took a seat at the bar. “Bad day?” “Just give me the bottle, Joe.” Joe clicked his tongue. “That would be irresponsible of me,” he said, pouring one glass. Caleb threw back hisContinue reading “Chapter 1.48 – Self-Destruct”
