Malevolence - An Introduction

The Double Life - Chapter 3
The Road From Hell It's going to take more than the mediocre beer and a few smokes to calm myself down from that horror. As soon as I can move my own arms again instead of whatever fake thing I was appearing as in that weird as hell hole in my...
The Double Life - Chapter 2
Sweet Freedom It feels like it's been ages since I was able to feel my physical body stretch, joints in tail, spine, and arms all creaking and popping where needed, getting me to let out a very contented purr. The idiot is still asleep, now in the...
