The Doll Head Incident
Landry House was one of the St. Charles homes that always seemed to have the power to draw tourists from the streetcar. To get them to pull the cord that rings the bell, getting the conductor to apply the brakes. To get them off, to cross over from the neutral ground for photos, and to approach with reverence, as if they were nearing the casket at a wake. But no one was around now.

Dark Energy: The Mortal Fracture
CHAPTER TEN: DRAGON LINES Alaska – Late Winter 2011 The flight back to the research camp was bittersweet. On the one hand, it was exciting that their research had produced results that could be tested in the field, but on the other hand, the level of danger that the team would now be working under was severe. Wasi felt the tension of the impending escalation of danger deep within his being. He watched Sade who seemed unaware of how much things were about to change. She seemed happy and excited, two emotions he rarely witnessed in her. This change in her personality was attractive and enticing, and he very much envied the naivety that she displayed in her enthusiasm.

Dark Energy: The Mortal Fracture
CHAPTER NINE: UNWANTED ATTENTION Anchorage, Alaska - 2011 The afternoon light faded to twilight as Wasi and Sade made their way through Anchorage in separate vehicles. Wasi was ahead of Sade in his rented truck. He constantly glanced up at the rearview mirror to track her progress. He was nervous about what just happened as he was unsure of its legitimacy. On the other hand, if Sade was right and electricity was the solution, then it meant that change was rapidly approaching him. He hated this part of an assignment as it was intense, full of uncertainties, bloody, and destructive. These realities ran through his mind, ricocheting off the sound of his breaks squealing as he pulled to a stop at a red light.

The Creek
You check the time. Perfect. As intended, you’ve arrived fashionably late. You didn’t want to be here, not after what had happened. You take a deep breath as you open the door and enter the enormous beach house. There were loads of people here so perhaps he wouldn’t see you, after all you hadn’t seen or spoken to each other in just over a year. As you made your way to the bar trying to stay hidden from sight, you suddenly hear a familiar voice coming up behind you.

The Sleeper Cell
There was a guy that might remind you of someone you know even, that kind of guy that you never gave much thought to. He seems the same as everyone else, except there's something a bit off about him. Jasper will be his name for this incarnation. He told himself he would never watch the news like his parents did and when he moved out that's just what he started doing to keep track of time, knowing that his dad used to watch the news at 6pm. If he missed it then he would lose track of time and stay up really late.

CHAPTER EIGHT: THE EXPERIMENT Experiment Log - Day 1 The incubation of the antibodies began at 0600 this morning. This process exposed the purified antibodies to a warm and humid environment that was set at 4 degrees C for a period of 12 hours. While incubating the antibodies, live stellate cells were extracted from my own liver using a standard biopsy needle. These cells were colonized and prepared for further analysis and experimentation. Dr. Wasi also prepared the Vitamin A serum which included a compound of retinol and deoxycholic acid. The solution ratio of retinol to deoxycholic acid enzyme solution was set at 450 units per 100ml of retinol, which has been the standard for Vitamin A absorption experiments in the past.

CHAPTER SEVEN: KIM’S CONDITION Sade’s Cabin - 2010 The morning came suddenly, startling Sade and Wasi with the harsh sounds of the alarm clock. They were still in the living room on the couch where their late night conversation revealed a connection that they both had to Martin’s agenda and control. The truth revealed was not complete, but it at least identified the threats that they faced. This made it easier to trust one another, and easier to move forward with what had to be done before the winter darkness gave way to the birth of the near non-stop exposure to light promised by the polar spring and summer months.
