“Everybody Fights” – Part 2
First time reading? Start at the beginning here. The worst part was not knowing what the hell was going on. Moreen had heard an almighty crash a few minutes ago. Everyone in the office had. It had shaken her desk, jostling the pens and pencils in their holder. Harris had taken one look at Moreen,Continue reading ““Everybody Fights” – Part 2″
“Everybody Fights” – Part 1
First time reading? Start at the beginning here. They would have died within minutes if Val hadn’t gone with them.

It was a big open space, where those on the second floor couldContinue reading ““Everybody Fights” – Part 1″
“Parade of Fools” – Part 8
First time reading? Start at the beginning here. Dazed, Dave tried to figure out which way was up.

“Don’t Let David Puebla Die” – Part 7

“Don’t Let David Puebla Die” – Part 6
Moreen walked down the hallway slowly. Ostensibly, she was taking her time so she could observe every detail of her surroundings.

Moreen had barely been able to handle one roommate in college; nowContinue reading ““Don’t Let David Puebla Die” – Part 6″
“Dave and Val Watch Soap Operas” – Part 5
Moreen clenched shut her eyes as the Illusionist made a flash bomb. It was a handy trick, and one Moreen had told her beforehand to use the instant they entered the house if things turned hostile. Yuna’s powers were an ability to manipulate light. Most often, she bent it to create her illusions, but sheContinue reading ““Dave and Val Watch Soap Operas” – Part 5″
“Two Eyeballs and a Gun” – Part 8
Dave barreled down the stairs. Lightblade’s footsteps pounded ahead of him, but the man himself was just out of view. Dave had to catch him soon, before he got outside and into a car and vanished like Death. There. He caught a glimpse of the man’s gaudy uniform on the next flight down. Dave pushedContinue reading ““Two Eyeballs and a Gun” – Part 8″
“Tick, Tick, Boom!” – Part 8
The back of Dave’s skull felt like a cash register that had been smashed open with a crowbar. He put a hand to his head, groaning, and tried to get his bearings. His eyes were closed. Why were his eyes closed? Well, that was easy enough to fix. He opened them and saw a holeContinue reading ““Tick, Tick, Boom!” – Part 8″
