“No time for me. No place for me…” Yesterday morning, just after sunrise, Liana realized this was the end. There were no wars, asteroids, or aliens. But humanity had irrevocably reached the period at the end of its sentence. She’d always thought that the apocalypse would be quick, brutal, and loud. But it wasn’t. The universe never gave you what you expected. It gave you what it had.

Cashmere Botanical Gardens pt 5 High Summer
And that is how I came to be kneeling in the lily pool, the cold nose of Carls shotgun against my spine. I could see little between my wet bangs other than the Pale Lady as she looked down on the five of us as though we were a show put on for her amusement. Carl didn’t hold me cruelly at gunpoint, but I was hardly in any position to thank him. The creatures arrayed around us, the Brandylou, I supposed, looked on with interest, but I had eyes only for the lady. I hadn’t much cared for the phrase “Meat from my table” and I felt pretty sure I was about to discover more than I ever wanted to.

The Chainsaw Kid.
The night was dark and eerie, with a chill in the air that seemed to seep into your bones. The moon was full and bright, casting long, twisted shadows across the forest floor. It was the kind of night that made even the bravest souls shiver.

My dear boy, I hope this letter finds you in good health. I know that it has been far too long, but I’m afraid my duties offer me little time to visit, I hope you can pardon my rude form.
