It was a mere hour before sunrise and there was still no sign of them. Seth wouldn’t say he was worried, particularly. All right, the three girls had low sun resistance, but his trespass into her head had confirmed that the squeaky stray was more than capable of finding shelter for them, of looking afterContinue reading “Chapter 2.18 – Nobody Died”

Chapter 2.15 – Bad Influence
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 2.09 – 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”
