Chapter 2.27 – Batshit Crazy
The hotel manager of the Glimmerbrook Grand had confirmed that the mystery man in their sketch was the man she remembered attacking her.

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 1.32 – Reckless Ways
Melinda wasn’t feeling quite as spirited as Caleb clearly was, as he bounded along like some sort of undead, overgrown puppy. “Lilith will be pleased to see you.
