Caleb stepped out of the shower where he’d spent the previous hour gently washing away the remnants of Friday. Or was it Monday? Caleb didn’t know. All Caleb knew was that one of his seven girls had borne the brunt of him and that he’d made a mess. And Caleb hated mess. He always had.Continue reading “Chapter 4.38 – Happy Birthday”

Chapter 4.22 – Flirt With Death
April’s towel kept slipping as she padded across the plush carpet towards Broof’s closet. Wyatt had turned in in the early hours – which is when Melinda went home – leaving April to silently exist in the house alone, trying to amuse herself. She was used to that though, that had been her whole lifeContinue reading “Chapter 4.22 – Flirt With Death”
Chapter 4.20 – The Chicken is Alive!
Lilith had been staring at the ceiling of her small wooden prison for hours, with only a slightly dazed chicken for company. But she’d had worse nights. The chicken had spent the last few hours trying to get its head through a tiny knot in the wood and Lilith had quickly tired of freeing theContinue reading “Chapter 4.20 – The Chicken is Alive!”
Chapter 4.14 – A Marigold Speciality
Before they’d even fully materialised, April was squealing at a pitch that only she could reach. She had run a circle of the small house while twittering excitedly, and had disappeared upstairs to unpack the contents of her small backpack. Wyatt, who had obviously seen it all before, stayed downstairs with Melinda who, true toContinue reading “Chapter 4.14 – A Marigold Speciality”
Chapter 3.48 – Flickering Lights
While Jessica’s cohorts figured out how to safely dismount from their precarious people tower, Jessica had subtly checked the house. As well as ensuring that the coast was clear, she was looking for clues; any sign as to the reasoning behind Ralf’s fate, anything he’d left behind. Her search turned nothing up. Nothing at all.Continue reading “Chapter 3.48 – Flickering Lights”
Chapter 3.44 – Strawberry
Note: drug use/influence April was full of bubbles and rainbows. She had to admit that she couldn’t really taste the strawberry flavour of her magic tea, but it was a pretty colour and smelled super yummy. And it was definitely magical! After one sip, everything went a little fuzzy and soft around the edges. AfterContinue reading “Chapter 3.44 – Strawberry”
Chapter 3.40 – Irritant
Jessica’s scalp was so itchy. When she’d first been presented with her MAD hat she’d felt pretty good in it. She was fully starting to embrace the ‘wear whatever makes you happy’ mantra of her fellow GliTS, almost starting to like her starched, polyester poodle skirt and the little static shocks she got periodically fromContinue reading “Chapter 3.40 – Irritant”
Chapter 3.12 – Distraction
Jessica took a deep, centring breath and approached the house. She took out the shiny business card Morag had given her. It had a picture of an alien on one side and simply the address on the back. Like it was some edgy, highly secretive society she was joining and not the local oddballs. SheContinue reading “Chapter 3.12 – Distraction”
Chapter 3.08 – Guard Down
Broof had guided Melinda down a corridor to a small, but comfortable sitting room, full of flowers and family photos, and settled her on a plush sofa. She tried to take in her surroundings while simultaneously trying to piece together what had happened to bring her to this house. She must have passed out atContinue reading “Chapter 3.08 – Guard Down”
Chapter 3.04 – Plastic Genie
Note: includes discussion of suicide and mental illness Lilith was not sure at what point of the night she’d slipped completely into ‘don’t give a damn’ mode. She suspected it was somewhere between using a crystal ball to bowl over some sacred ritual candles and painting ‘Sage smells’ on the florist’s workbench, but she wellContinue reading “Chapter 3.04 – Plastic Genie”
