Faith closed the motel door behind her and tried to form some words. She had known from the second that Seth appeared that everything was going to go completely to shit. It was written on the wall that Melinda would hate him and from Caleb and Lilith’s reactions, it would stand to reason that theyContinue reading “Chapter 2.15 – Bad Influence”

Chapter 2.14 – Leather and Grime
“You’re being very rude to our guest, Mel,” April said. “Come on! Sit with us. Have a little drinkie; it’s not going to kill you. The plasma is actually super yummy with gin in it! Or is it that the gin is yummy with the plasma? I don’t really know.” She giggled and took anotherContinue reading “Chapter 2.14 – Leather and Grime”
Chapter 2.12 – To Your Taste
Penelope gently closed the door behind her and tiptoed across the room, even though she was alone in the building. She stole a look over her shoulder, before pressing the button on the machine, watching as it whirred to life. She did this most weekdays, but today was different. Today she would try it forContinue reading “Chapter 2.12 – To Your Taste”
Chapter 2.11 – A Private Matter
Warning: toxic, painful The room fell silent as Caleb stormed in, but if he realised this, he didn’t show it. He disappeared into the bathroom and slammed the door without so much as a glance in their direction, let alone a greeting. The three girls looked at each other before Melinda stood up, quickly followedContinue reading “Chapter 2.11 – A Private Matter”
Chapter 2.10 – Search the Earth
Lilith hadn’t felt this good in a long, long time. A completely different woman from the sapped misery who had headed down to breakfast. A hundred worlds better. Lifted. Spirited. It was amazing how a fresh feed could do that. Despite being initially controlled by her thirst, Lilith had managed enough restraint to limit herContinue reading “Chapter 2.10 – Search the Earth”
Chapter 2.07 – Shredded Bin Bags
The three girls and Caleb arrived at the motel on the docks in Evergreen Harbor just before sunrise. The girls loitered out of view in the shadows, trying to avoid the rats scurrying around in the accumulated trash and the first bright rays of sun, while Caleb went to check in. “Good morning, young man.Continue reading “Chapter 2.07 – Shredded Bin Bags”
Chapter 2.06 – Electric Fizz
The ceiling was a different colour. Babs had insisted on painting their bedroom ceiling yellow, to match the rest of their house. Yellow was her favourite colour, closely followed by orange, so the whole abode was a glowing citrus fiesta, a banana and tangerine dream. A box of warm sunshine, she once called it. ChuckContinue reading “Chapter 2.06 – Electric Fizz”
Chapter 2.05 – Kick Him Harder
Violence, abusive behaviour This man had approached Faith within seconds of her leaving the motel. Nothing about him was attractive; he looked like he had been randomly generated by a people machine and plonked in front of her. But if she closed her eyes, used her imagination he could be anyone… It wasn’t how thisContinue reading “Chapter 2.05 – Kick Him Harder”
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 2.01 – Embrace Disgrace
“Thanks for that, Bob. We’ll have more on the potential alien toddler invasion in Strangerville later, but first on to our top story. “The search continues for April Moss, 18, daughter of the late superstar Sandy Moss. It is believed that April is in the company of her two friends who are also missing; theyContinue reading “Chapter 2.01 – Embrace Disgrace”
