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.

What should she do – shouldContinue reading “Chapter 1.27 – Hot Poison”

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.

Melinda looked guilty, “For Faith’s sake.” “Faith must be a good friend.” Melinda nodded. “Sun will be up soon.Continue reading “Chapter 1.21 – Can’t Compel a Cow”

Chapter 1.19 – Dead in the Woods

“Come back! I’ll leave my wife!” Will called as Faith and April headed back down the path. He tried to follow them and ended up falling onto his face. Dale giggled but he wasn’t faring much better. “Wife?” Faith turned back towards Will. “You never said you had a wife!” “Beth’s gonna be so pissedContinue reading “Chapter 1.19 – Dead in the Woods”

Chapter 1.18 – Stupid Girl

Melinda had allowed Lilith to guide her back to the sofa which was just as well as her whole body felt like it might crumble to dust beneath her. “She made you do it?” Melinda scoffed. “She made you attack her, almost kill her, turn her? What would she gain from that?” “She-“ “You’re completelyContinue reading “Chapter 1.18 – Stupid Girl”

Chapter 1.17 – Face of a Monster

“What has gotten into you lately Caleb? You’re somehow even more miserable than usual.” Lilith turned on the lights and crossed the room to sit beside her brother. She took in his silence and his downcast features. “Are you hungry?” She didn’t wait for him to reply. “Good, because you just wait, you are inContinue reading “Chapter 1.17 – Face of a Monster”
