The Shit-Town Saga The Blood Circle part 6 (finale) Michael Hawkwood woke up sore.  There were no injuries besides bruising, but he needed a decent amount of pain killers that morning.  He checked his work offers and found he had some commissions, which would normally excite him as money had been tight, but he was exhausted and in pain.

The Corpus Grimoire part 1 Prologue It was a little known fact that spirits and demons had vaguely-defined territories on Earth, mostly centered within their own belief systems. This was to prevent war among them. For instance, Hell’s demons often resided in Christian-centered regions of the world, the Jinn usually stayed in Islamic regions, and the Oni usually inhabited the archipelago most modern humans called … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #41

The Basement (part 2): A Short Story

I shake my head slow. This isn’t going to go over well. I might not have wanted all these people here, but I took responsibility for them when they showed up. At first, it was as easy as thinking that my basement was finished, warm, and large. We had a lot of furniture, carpeting, and a little kitchenette area.
