Heart is the Key
They had been walking for what seemed like weeks. It had only been two days since the disastrous events that had rocked the world and taken almost everything from Cici. All that was left was Emily and the last words her father had spoken before he succumbed to his injuries. “You must go to your childhood fort, behind it there is a path that leads up the mountain.” He started “The mountain path will take you three days to hike.” He continued “After about three days you will come to the lake of red stones.” He said gasping for air “Behind the waterfall is a door made of rock, it will lead you home.” He said as his breath slowed. “How do we open the door?” Cici urged. “heart is the key.” He managed before drawing his last breath. “DAD, HOLD ON, NO, DAD PLEASE.” The scene just kept playing in her head over and over. The explosion, finding her dad, his death. It was on a loop in her mind.

Today's Special
Very few things made Artem feel unsettled. She walked slowly and cleaned deliberately to watch the world around her as she worked – this was not the kind of place that greeted her with warmth. Her site expected diligence and consistency, both of which she prized in herself. You do not grow as a female body and lack the self-awareness needed to maintain the illusion of safety needed to survive. Artem knew the truth of her existence. Every person was a potential threat. The levels of influential people above her were many, and Artem did not have the luxury of power.

HOWL - Hunter's Moon
UNNAMED ROAD NEAR GOLF COURSE FLATWOODS, KENTUCKY - PRESENT DAY Dove sighed as she checked the time on her phone, before turning flipping the keys in the ignition and removing them, casually tossing both objects into the seat beside her. After the conversation with Dr. Thomas, she was pretty damn sure she had a case on her hands, but she wanted to be absolutely sure the girl was worth saving. The recording she’d been sent was...strange. The girl claimed to see what could be described as hellhounds, but what she was seeing was...well...their shadows, was the easiest way to put it. The outlines she described were more akin to what one could see through some blessed eyewear.

Matthias Scott - Air Pirate; Part 2
The gray sky was lit with a series of white-gold flashes as lightning arced through the heavy, low-hanging clouds. The storm was a large one, and easily powerful enough to be rated as a low-end hurricane. Rain fell in sheets, and thunder rolled, vibrating and shaking the glass of the rigid airship's bridge. Even the very floor of the lighter-than-air vessel's command center jostled like an earthquake, but the cargo carrier's commander, Captain Stirling, didn't issue a single order to take them out of the storm's wrath. He saw this wicked bout of weather as a blessing. The sky lanes had been getting hit more and more often by pirates, and he was so very sure that they wouldn't dare attempt boarding his vessel in such a gale. Unfortunately, he did not know the man that he was destined to be facing this day. The storm would prove to be his undoing, rather than his savior.

No axe to grind
CORA CHAPTER ONE Angela was one of the ones who died peacefully, in her sleep. She was the latest to fall. She was only twelve. She didn’t stand a chance, but at least she didn’t go crying in pain like the others. Timothy, who died at seven, came back from above a changed person. He wasn’t that happy go lucky boy that left us, rather full of wrath. In the end, it was Kane who had to subjugate him, killing him just using his own strength. Having to sit on him to stop him from losing control. Even now, I see Kane kneeling at the patch where he killed him. He still can’t talk about what happened.
