An Odder Feeling
# Chapter 3: An Odder Feeling The ride back was easy and uneventful. Johnathan let Ginny stray at the stream for a few moments in the darkness, cooling her hooves and taking a drink. He wanted to get home, but was in no rush. Seeing the lights...
An Odd Proposal
# Chapter 2: An Odd Proposal The rest of the day passed uneventfully enough. It wasn't until that evening that Johnathan saw Manson again. Sitting alone in the echoing dining room of the manor house, it still struck Johnathan as odd to sit at...
The Old Manor House
# Chapter 1: The Old Manor House The late morning sun slanted between the trees and through the wide windows of the musty study to land at Johnathan Pennyfare's feet. It was a glorious mid summer day out, but he was trapped in the crowded...
The Reason We're Here
# Chapter 11 It must have been another half hour or so before I poked my head from the kitchen. It wasn't squeaky clean, far from it, but it was likely better than anything this building had seen in a long time. "Alice? An?" My voice echoed...
Chicken Soup for the God's Soul
# Chapter 10 Maxwell wondered off a few moments later, muttering something under his breath. I couldn't make it out, but I doubted he was singing my praises. Ophois didn't stop growling until he was long out of sight around the construction...

How to Become a God in One Easy Step
# Chapter 7 Seth reached to a switch beside him a moment later, banishing the darkness from the room as the overhead lights came on. I glanced back towards the old man. He had looked aged and worn before, but now, in the light, he was little...
The Elder God
# Chapter 6 I leaned back against the tree, rubbing the bridge of my nose and nursing one hell of a migraine. "Please tell me it wasn't you I was running from." He grinned. Unlike his roughed up appearance, his teeth were a perfect white....
Midnight in Central Park
# Chapter 5 We made our way from James' place as quickly as we could. Glancing behind me I could see Raph stepping through the door, watch us hustle down the street. It was well past midnight now and starting to rain. Yep, exactly what I...
Calling In the Big Guns
# Chapter 4 I bruised both shins and one foot before finding the door. The one time in the last hundred years I needed an 'EXIT' sign and there were none to be found. "Alice!" We were out in the hallway now, the light back to normal. I could...
Waiting for God(ot)
# Chapter 3 Ophois appeared at my side the moment we rounded a corner and got out of the cop's sight. "Some help you were, mutt." I gave him a light cuff to the ear. He just turned to me with a, 'Who, me?' expression. "Thanks for...
