W I T C H: Chapter 2
The day was bright, sunny, and painfully hot. So hot that at one point I stripped down to my boxers as I crouched over an old rotary fan, cranked up to full blast. I spent most of the day trying to get something down on paper. But the oppressive summer heat made it hard to concentrate, so eventually I gave up and abandoned my second-hand typewriter. After a while I looked at the clock and noticed it was almost time to leave my tiny oasis. I sighed, knowing I couldn’t put it off any longer, and forced myself to get dressed for work. While the night shift at the local museum wasn’t exactly a glamorous job, it did stave off my growing boredom by helping me come up with new ideas. Few of them were ever any good, but it helped grease the wheels of progress.

The Silver Serpent Society. Chapter One.
The stench hits my nose as I enter the crime scene. Some idiot had left the door open and the July heat had been working on the swollen corpse sprawled across the laminate flooring for days by the looks of it. The rigor mortis had locked the stiff in a pose like he was trying to fend off the devil himself. Uniform cops stand around useless as can be, slack-jawed while CSI techs wander around listlessly in the oppressive heat.

He was sure nobody had seen him pull off the road. He driven out pretty far past his town, the last sign said Micheals Burgs, & he knew that would give him at least a couple months before the Sheriff of his town even looked in that direction. By that time, the animals would have feasted on the remains and no evidence would be left, she would remain missing.

I, Willhelm
Alice’s husband hadn’t slept properly in three days. He was holding the baby tightly, starting into the distance as the police spoke with the men from Aphelion robotics, a lost look on his face. The help had come pouring in. Meals where made, family and friends worked on rotation to care for the baby, not that it was terribly needed; the school immediately allowed an indefinite leave of absence. The house was spotless, the meals were cooked, and the baby had not stopped crying in three days. It hated the food he made, he hated the way he was put to bed down, he hated the sound and smell of strangers in the house. He hated everything except, his father, and refused to be put down.

All Too Well - Chapter Two
Schieloh “Schieloh, are you almost ready?” Envy called out to me from the bottom of the steps. I took one last glance in the mirror. My jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers that Envy bought for my first day of school looked tired and worn. She said it was a new style, but to me, it was overkill. I could’ve worn the clothes I had from last year, they all had holes and faded coloring, but Envy said she wanted me to feel like I belonged.
