Dispersed
This post was originally published through Patreon on September 26, 2018. She closes her eyes, then opens them again, just to be sure they’re telling her the truth.

The One That Got Away
Giles has the man right where he wants him. He’s not a man, of course—at least on the inside—but something much worse, something dangerous. As more than a man himself, Giles easily recognizes the creature for what it is. Trailing twenty or thirty feet behind, Giles watches as the man sits down at a bus …

The World Inside the Rain
This post was originally published through Patreon on August 15, 2018. Samantha steps into the rain with her head down. But even with her eyes set upon her feet, it’s impossible to look away. The world is gray and lifeless, the sky overhead smothered by ominous charcoal clouds. Yet there is also light, and it …
