Chapter 4.31 – Piglet

Jessica had had a terrible night’s sleep. Tossing and turning, this way and that, on Pixie’s lumpy sofa bed. She could have gone back to her cosy bed in Willow Creek, but was still somewhat terrified that a monster lay in wait for her. The nightmares she’d had had further ruined her sleep. She wasContinue reading “Chapter 4.31 – Piglet”

Chapter 4.26 – Vital Chin Surgery

Note: my game has the ‘occults keep losing their facial markings and eyes’ bug and I couldn’t be bothered to keep drawing them on manually, so there are inconsistencies in their pictures. April squirmed on her seat as the room filled with the kind of noises that had often echoed from Wyatt’s room, and herContinue reading “Chapter 4.26 – Vital Chin Surgery”

Chapter 4.23 – Elixir Mixer

April burst into the room like the first rays of morning sun. “Good morning!” she sang. “Morning Apes.” Wyatt rubbed his temples and turned away from his effervescent daughter and back to his video game, where his character fell off the platform he’d so carefully landed on. He could sense her bubbling in his peripheralContinue reading “Chapter 4.23 – Elixir Mixer”

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 4.13 – Predicament

Melinda, it turned out, did not have a better idea. With none of the trio having the ruthlessness to kill him or the skill to wipe his memory, fleeing was the only viable option they could come up with. However, on Melinda’s insistence, they’d left Omar outside the local medical centre, as dressed as theyContinue reading “Chapter 4.13 – Predicament”

Chapter 4.12 – Holy Potato!

Disclaimer: violence and badly-drawn blood/bruises. A trashy chapter by all definitions. Wasn’t it amazing what plants could do? Cleanse the air, filter out toxins, get you utterly wasted. Or, at least, wasted enough. In his dark, dingy room which was peppered with trash, discarded toys and mounds of evidence that his life was one hugeContinue reading “Chapter 4.12 – Holy Potato!”

Chapter 4.10 – Undo Button

After what had been a much more fun night of semi-naked kissing than she’d ever had with Caleb, April had walked her girlfriend back to the small cottage. It was that hazy, optimistic part of the day where the sun was just about to rise. The lights inside the cottage told April that Moon wasContinue reading “Chapter 4.10 – Undo Button”

Chapter 4.07 – Sleeping Beauty

Melinda had visited this spot numerous times since she’d been staying with Moon. These ruins, situated near the river and only a short walk from Moon’s idyllic little cottage, were beautiful, and so inspiring. Melinda could lose hours here, gazing at the crumbling arches, listening to the river flowing past her and imagining how theContinue reading “Chapter 4.07 – Sleeping Beauty”

Chapter 4.05 – Skinny Punk Junkie

It had happened again. He had lost control of his meddling with a human. Only this time, it mattered. She was still out there, walking around, with a head full of his own memories. At first, he’d cursed himself for allowing her to slip away. But then, once composed, he could justify his decision. HeContinue reading “Chapter 4.05 – Skinny Punk Junkie”

Chapter 4.01 – A Great Witch

“Wyatt, you could have told me about April before this all got out of hand. We would have managed…” “Mum, please. I know I’ve messed up, I know you’re trying to help and I know you think I’m nothing but a huge, naïve idiot, but trust me; I know what I’m doing…” “…I’ll manage withoutContinue reading “Chapter 4.01 – A Great Witch”
