They drove until sunrise, at which point they found another motel. They stayed in during the day, and Lacy tinkered with the hotel’s clock radio until she found her way onto the police broadcasts. High numbers of disappearances plagued the country. Sightings of deformed humans with rotting skin...

Chapter 13: It's Something Unpredictable

Gwen stood at the base of the castle, beneath the light of the fractured moons. Snow snaked through the air, coiling around her like a Medusan halo illuminated by the cosmic wrath of her Star. With one foot, she approached the Castle, black iron beneath the ever-night. She lowered the other foot ...

Chapter 16: Way Out in the Water

The second floor of the castle was where Morganna slept. This was the one Gwen had been looking forward to the most. Morganna waited for her in her room, a den of snakes and viper carcasses’ all feasted upon by an unkindness of ravens. They followed Morganna everywhere, just as the murder of cr...

Chapter 14: We Are A Murderous Pair

Inglewood, CA- 2 Years Ago

Ghouls in California were a relatively new phenomenon.

Isabella had found, upon her return, that the world had not changed appreciably in many ways, but that in other ways it assuredly had. Perhaps it was that she had changed, become more aware of the world ...

Chapter 12: I Can Stand My Own Ground

A murder of crows followed her as she stalked her prey. She led the Wild Hunt through the night, during the change of seasons, the liminal time. Her compatriots were men and elves and all things in between, and the crows followed their hideous wake for regular meals.

They rampaged through t...

Chapter 11: No One Ever Had Much Nice to Say

It was her.

How could it be her?

It wasn’t possible- she was dead. Elaine died. Gwen had seen the body.

Did I? She thought. She’d seen an arm, a leg, a lock of hair. She hadn’t seen a whole body- she’d taken her father at his word-

Well there’s the p...

Chapter 10: Sickness Taking Over

Fear. Shame. Dread. Guilt. Confusion. They all flowed through Gwen like she’d injected them directly into her forearm, pulsed through her heart into the rest of her body, overwhelming every other feeling and sensation. Fire. Heat. Smoke. Screaming. Chaos.

She’d been led her into a trap,...

Chapter 9: The Rhythm of the War-Drums

Dresden, Michigan- 5 Years Ago

Lacy let the soundwaves wash over her, the long, low strings of the bass, the steady rhythm of the drums, and the high, tight guitar riffs all coming at her at once. She leaned back on her bed, stared up at the ceiling, and parsed through the different compone...

Chapter 8: Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire

They walked deep into the woods, their destination within eyeshot: a small clearing around an equally-small pond. There weren’t any trees within a hundred yards on all sides, and the ground was all rock and gravel instead of grass. Muddy puddles accented the ground throughout, remnants of last ...

Chapter 7: Ashes Fell Like Snow

Northern Alaska- 20 Years Ago

Snow surged from the sky like blood from a gaping wound, and wind shattered around the castle and the mountains like a maelstrom of broken glass. Castle Albrecht stood between two mountains, and climbed to half their height. Ten stories tall, with four spires a...

Chapter 6: I Will Help You Swim

Her castle traversed the seas, a roaming principality of glaciers carved into buildings and barracks around a central fortress. Her family, black of hair with pointed ears and black sclera and violet irises and empty pupils, lived there with her. They roamed the seas and maintained her empire, ki...

The Sea of Glass withstood the weight of Lacy’s wrath as she bounded across it. She attuned to the absence of sound all around her, and it pleased her. She could bring this with her, and shut out all the noise forever. Create a world in which she was not always drowning in the endless abyss of ...
