Chapter 8
The librarian sat behind a desk stamping books, a solitary guardian of the accumulated knowledge of Puerto Villa. “We close in an hour,” she announced.
“Thanks.” That was all right with Jerry; he begrudged every moment of his vacation in a library lost to the library.
The building that housed the library was a re-purposed house. Ted led the way as they walked through…

The Messenger
Last week to read The Messenger for free.
****************************
The harbinger came ahead of the storm, as was customary. She sat in the passenger seat of the semi-truck and quietly stared out into the darkness. The warm breeze generated by the Kenmore’s heater swirled about her, warding off the damp cold of night. She preferred nature; an open window with cool wind playing about her hair would have been much more to her liking.…

Chapter 7
Jerry awoke cold and shaking. His heart pounded heavily in his chest, and he wondered if it would stop from fatigue. The taste of blood was fresh in his mouth, and his stomach revolted against it. He felt his mouth for the source, but his tongue gave no indication that he had bitten it in the night. Lie still and let nausea pass. The last thing that Jerry wanted to…

These are public domain images of the founding fathers graphically altered to show them wearing masks. These images are intended to inspire all Americans and show them the patriotism of making a little sacrifice for the good of the nation and their fellow Americans.

Legacy
Last week to read Legacy Free.
Rebellious hands clasping illegal pens,
Frantic swirls forming outlawed shapes,
Ornate designs make alias names,
A silent attempt to be remembered.
Bit by bit, hidden in plain sight,
The forsaken artist leaves his mark,

Desecrating the desks society gave his parents,
The artist…

Teller’s Cove Chapter 6 Free Horror
by R.W. Van Sant
Chapter 6
Strange dreams overtook Jerry’s tired mind, of floating in darkness. Strong currents pulled and pushed all around him, gently coaxing him this way and that. Wonder flooded his entire being, enthralling and dominating him. He knew he was under water. He could feel it fill his lungs, yet he breathed normally. As he swam deeper, a new universe opened up, a forbidden…
