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 2.09 – Sink a Ship
Warning: Disturbing imagery, very dark This was the second time in as many days that Caleb had been unable to buy the items he was tasked to. This store mainly sold packaged convenience foods, newspapers and other bits and pieces that its likely customers – dock workers – would require. He had found playing cardsContinue reading “Chapter 2.09 – Sink a Ship”
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 2.02 – Forgot My Kidney
Note: drug references Lilith looked down at the heap of man that Seth had dumped on her doorstep. “Special delivery for Ms. Lilith Charlotte Vatore. Please sign here.” “And what exactly am I supposed to do with him?” “Vixen, has it been that long? You dine on him, of course. Do you remember where theContinue reading “Chapter 2.02 – Forgot My Kidney”
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”
Chapter 1.52 – Full of Holes
The first thing that struck Seth was that all the lights were off in the house. Despite having excellent night vision, Lilith always had lights on, even if there was no-one home. It made it look ‘lived in’, she would say. It didn’t matter that not a single soul ever passed here, she liked toContinue reading “Chapter 1.52 – Full of Holes”
Chapter 1.51 – Absolute Chaos
It had been a most satisfying night. As Seth lay back under the stars, satiated with what turned out to be a surprisingly succulent sanguinary experience with William Wangshaft, he admired again his new trophies; a kidney, as promised, for his feisty fledgling and a most unexpected memory. Will’s reel had mainly comprised of beer,Continue reading “Chapter 1.51 – Absolute Chaos”
Chapter 1.48 – Self-Destruct
Violence, suicidal thoughts, Will (collective groan) Joe looked up, expecting Caleb to take his usual chair by the fire, surprised when he took a seat at the bar. “Bad day?” “Just give me the bottle, Joe.” Joe clicked his tongue. “That would be irresponsible of me,” he said, pouring one glass. Caleb threw back hisContinue reading “Chapter 1.48 – Self-Destruct”
Chapter 1.47 – Fill The Void
Warning: Sexual violence, issues of consent, suicidal thoughts and generally unpleasant. Faith had been fifteen when she’d lost her virginity. She had been taking a remedial science class over the summer when she’d met the lucky fella. His name was Adam or it might have been Alan; she forgot which. He’d boldly seated himself nextContinue reading “Chapter 1.47 – Fill The Void”
Chapter 1.45 – Not All Roses
April had the house to herself. Lilith had left on important business and despite her best efforts to convince him to stay, Caleb had departed to run around through the trees and look up at the moon with Melinda. April really didn’t understand what was so fascinating about an eclipse, especially a lunar one. ItContinue reading “Chapter 1.45 – Not All Roses”
