Lilith closed April’s bedroom door and tried to fight against the desire to lie on the floor; she was drained. Feeling her way along the banister, she descended the stairs. Faith and Melinda greeted her at the bottom. “Did it work?” they asked, together. “Yes, but it’ll take a day or two for her toContinue reading “Chapter 1.36 – Easy Prey”

Chapter 1.35 – My Epitaph
Note: Sad tone. Dark place. Get a cute animal nearby to pet when you’re finished reading. It’s so bright today. It really hurts, it really burns. I’ll keep my eyes closed from here in case it blinds me. The sun never used to feel like this, on those rare occasions when I was allowed outside.Continue reading “Chapter 1.35 – My Epitaph”
Chapter 1.34 – Down With That
Caleb had arrived at the billboard with the fish on it. There was definitely no sign of April. Now what?

The grass had beenContinue reading “Chapter 1.34 – Down With That”
Chapter 1.33 – Roadkill
“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.

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”
