“You’re not trying hard enough!” April shouted from her hiding place as Faith once again failed to flag down a passing driver. Faith bit her lip, silently fuming. April was wrong, she wasn’t trying at all. She hadn’t even stuck her thumb out for that one, let alone her leg. “I think it’s a lostContinue reading “Chapter 1.33 – Roadkill”

Chapter 1.31 – Spawned Somehow
“But I’m thirsty!” April whined, stomping her foot. Faith was losing her temper. “I’m not going hunting, April. If you’re really that thirsty, have one of the pouches.” “I’m not drinking that stuff!” April screeched. Faith sank her head into her hands. Even Joy wasn’t this much of a brat and she was only seven.Continue reading “Chapter 1.31 – Spawned Somehow”
Chapter 1.29 – The Opposite
Melinda was very relieved that, as a vampire, she did not have the function to poop herself, as the zombie had appeared from nowhere to rip the face off an unsuspecting truck driver. April squealed in delight and Faith looked almost bored. The gore in the movie didn’t seem to bother Melinda as much asContinue reading “Chapter 1.29 – The Opposite”
Chapter 1.28 – Love the Misery
April and Caleb had stopped staring at each other in the living room and instead were staring at each other in April’s bedroom. Faith and Melinda quickly had enough of April’s coquettish giggles and had slipped out of their room to watch the news downstairs. There wasn’t really anything else to do. Almost every channelContinue reading “Chapter 1.28 – Love the Misery”
Chapter 1.27 – Hot Poison
Caleb and Melinda made their way back to Marjorie’s house. Melinda climbed the stairs and pushed the door only to find it locked. She learned that the sensation of her heart skipping a beat was not purely a mortal one. Had something happened? Had a relative of Marjorie’s returned? What should she do – shouldContinue reading “Chapter 1.27 – Hot Poison”
Chapter 1.26 – Everything Nothing
Warning: Allusion to suicide. It had taken longer than anticipated due to her path being blocked by a fallen tree, but Melinda finally arrived at the cliff top. It was a crisp, clear night and she had a clear view of the stars. The end of the path was lit by a few lanterns; theirContinue reading “Chapter 1.26 – Everything Nothing”
Chapter 1.25 – Into a Pie
“Global superstar, Sandy Moss was found dead at her home yesterday morning. There have been no official details released of the cause of death although early reports suggest that foul play is suspected.

Chapter 1.24 – Less Dead
Warning: This chapter alludes to self-harm and is generally quite dark. With April not willing to show her ID for fear of being recognised, they’d had to visit a few nightclubs before they found one that would let them in. With its dingy interior and sticky floor it was definitely not the sort of establishmentContinue reading “Chapter 1.24 – Less Dead”
Chapter 1.23 – Foil in the Microwave
April missed her reflection. She was hoping that she was putting lipstick on in the right place. Faith was beside her, trying to apply eyeliner. “This is such a disaster,” April sighed. Faith looked at April’s face. “Well, you have some on your fangs but otherwise it’s fine.” April ran her tongue over her teeth.Continue reading “Chapter 1.23 – Foil in the Microwave”
Chapter 1.22 – Weird Juice
For once the weather channel was right. The rays of sun were swallowed by thick clouds and the rain had started to fall. As Lilith pulled her boots on, Melinda turned to her. “Please can I take some of those packs with me?” “Of course,” Lilith walked to the kitchen, Melinda in tow, “you canContinue reading “Chapter 1.22 – Weird Juice”
